I can't believe it,

Dennis I'm sorry. You and Manuela are definitely in my prayers.
I hope you all are comforted through this.
Gosh, I can't believe it!

Very sad day but thankfully there is no more pain and suffering for Ray.

This is really sad... my God.... but it is your will Lord ... it is your will.
Please comfort us all especially those who are closest to Ray.

How was it that God put so much wisdom into a roofer? We know Ray was the work of God. I am so glad he had no theological degree.

I am so glad I made it to the Mobile Conference. I have memories that cannot be taken. I can hear his voice so clearly, and when I read the words written, I remember.

Ray, I am sure your work will go on, in many lives, and in the vast body of work you have written. For this I am deeply thankful.

He was one in millions. For sure.

Goodbye, and may we emulate in you what was good and true and worthwhile and right. And fight the good fight as you did.

Thank you Dennis, for keeping us up to date. I'm sure this is very difficult to lose such a good friend. We are here for you and Manuela if you need anything.

we will all miss him very much, but we are a family here and he would want us to continue to seek the truths of God together, as a family . Been up all night checking back and forth because I had a feeling tonight would be the time for some reason...at any rate, take it easy Dennis and be sure to get some rest and I'm sure Manuela knows she is in our prayers.

we love you both. We are all still here my friend. I'm not going anywhere that's for certain.

I'm glad he's no longer suffering.

What an amazing, powerful work of God we were witnesses to in Ray. And still are, thanks to you, Dennis and everyone who worked in the greatest ministry to come in my lifetime.

Thank you, too, Manuela.

I pray God soon comforts us all.

I'm speechless. I'm 22 and when I was 18 I was actually listening to people like Bill Wiese, John Hagee, Mike Murdock, Benny Hinn, etc. Yeah, I know, pretty bad. But I was young and of course there was no one to guide me in the right direction. A friend of mine found out about Ray's site and told me to read his material. I read his letter to John Hagee and was confounded, shocked, and after a short time so thankful to have found Ray's website. Ray was the first man God used to show me the true Gospel. Ray is such an awesome guy.

I never met Ray. I wish I could have met him. He did send me 500 of his Bible-Truths cards which have his picture on it. It would probably be better to have your own made by a small company so you can put your own email on there because Ray cannot respond anymore. I love Ray like a brother and will miss him. This should reminds us all the time is short and we still have to run our race just as Ray did. We all still have the obligation to witness for Christ and stand up for the Truth. Lets all stay close, edify one another in Christ, and not lose fellowship. I don't know what else to say right now. Dr. Jimmy Steger was Ray's Naturopathic doctor and I highly recommend him. www.drsteger.net

Hi everyone. First time poster

This is a sad day. It's weird how you're expecting this to happen and when it does, it's still a shock.

In the 70's, there was a popular Christian slogan "I Found It!" on billboards everywhere. About 3 years ago, "I Found It" when I stumbled my way here.

Thank you Dennis for teaming up with Ray to create bible-truths.com.

My thoughts and prayers for manuela and surviving family and friends.

My heart is sad for the loss of Ray, but at the same time i'm thankful his suffering has passed. My prayers go out to Manuela, Dennis and others close to Ray, as well as everyone of my brothers and sisters here. I know not what the immediate future holds for us, but i pray for Christ to comfort us.. We love you brother Ray, and can't wait to see you again on the day of our Lord's return.

Heartfelt sympathy to Manuela and Ray's other family and friends. I have not posted very often but have kept Ray in mind so often. What a wonderful work he has performed.

I am so sorry...

Thank you Ray, and thank you Dennis and other co-workers of Ray for BT, together you have changed my life forever.

Dear Manuela you are in my earnest prayers, may the the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort be with you.

Dear all,

I'm feeling both sadness and hope. Sad for loosing him, sad for the suffering and pain for Ray's family and all of us. Hopeful because we will meet one day and because of what God has done through Ray. Happy thinking about the gifts and treasures God has left us through Ray. I loved Ray's warm and great sense of humor. It was an inspiration how he cared for others and stood up for weak and hurt people. I know that Manuela made all of this possible through her tirelessly working and caring for and loving Ray. The other workers at Bible Truths have done incredible things. We need to pray for each other and ask the Lord to strengthen us and guide us. I thank God for all he has done and all He will do that we don't know yet.

Peace and love to all of you,
Eirik

I don't think you have to worry about that. This site isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We love each other too much to let that happen.

I just feel numb and sad, Father please comfort ALL of us.
