Salvation Experience

Ray accepted Christ as a young boy during a revival in Reading, Ohio, but as he grew into a young adult, he grew away from God. As a young man in the Navy stationed in Italy, a "God Moment" happened in his life when he became pen-pals with a young girl named Beverly back home. It was through that relationship that God began to work in his life, which eventually led him back to Christ and into a career in full-time missions work.
