The River of Life

Francis Frangipane was born in 1946 and grew up in Lodi, New Jersey. He and his wife, Denise, received ministerial training at Grace Chapel in Southern California. Francis is the founder of River of Life Ministries in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and traveled throughout the world ministering to thousands of pastors and intercessors from many backgrounds. He has written fourteen books, including Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God, a compilation of his essays and sermons; The Three Battlegrounds, on the topic of spiritual warfare; and In Christ’s Image training manuals, which were developed for his online school. His heartfelt prayer is to see established in every city, Christ-like pastors and intercessors, united before God, revealing the love of Christ to their communities. Over the past decades, Francis served on a number of ministry boards. In June 2009, he has retired from his position as senior pastor of River of Life Ministries and has been devoting himself to prayer and the ministry of God’s Word.
