OMF Literature
Ptr. Ru serves as the director for Wildfire, the youth ministry of His Life City Church in San Fernando, Pampanga. He founded the Manisfesto Movement, a finalist in the 2007 nationwide search for the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations.
He graduated from the University Santo Tomas with Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics (Cum Laude) and earned his Master's degree in Business Administration from Ateneo de Manila University (Silver Medalist). He earned his Graduate Diploma in Theology from the Asian Theological Seminary.
He describes himself as a happy, favored man who loves God, makes disciples and impacts this world. When he's not telling young people that God is crazy about them, he's either reading his Bible, praying, writing, playing basketball or strolling in the mall-trying on all the cool shirts he can find.
Ru dela Torre authored the books Road Trip, Back on Track and his latest Refuel, 52 Faith-building Pit on Road Trip. Now available at OMF Lit Bookshop, PCBS and National Bookstore nationwide
