E39: In Spirit & In Truth PART 1 - David Ruis
Episode 16 of Season 2, with David Ruis
Meet David.
David Ruis is a well-respected worship leader and songwriter (You're Worthy Of My Praise, Every Move I Make, and much more).
His most recent album, When Justice Shines, was released through ION Records. David has also authored two books: The Worship God Is Seeking and The Justice God Is Seeking. He is also a sought after communicator in many streams of the Church. As a team David and his wife Anita are also known to be effective church planters and seasoned pastors having established churches in Canada and the US, within the Vineyard family of churches. David has also been instrumental in seeing Vineyard communities established in Nepal and India. Much of the Ruises' focus has been in indigenous settings, working with people experiencing poverty and subsequent marginalisation. They also have significant experience facilitating leadership development and on the creative side David is known for fostering originality in song-writing and the arts in various cultural settings.
A burning passion for the Ruises is both practical and theological integration of creative worship in church community, and deep life engagement with issues of poverty and social injustice. David has been the National Director of Vineyard Canada since 2014, while also continuing to travel internationally to speak and lead worship. The Ruises currently reside in Kelowna, British Columbia. In their down time they love to be creative and hang with their grandkids.
