Title: Sharing an email from Ray..
Post by: Ninny on April 20, 2009, 04:03:53 PM
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share a little excerpt from a very sweet email I received from Ray over the weekend.
Since some of you have been so nice to share some of your emails from him I wanted to share a small bit of what he said.

I certainly do take comfort in knowing that I am loved and appreciated

by so many around the country and around the world.  After receiving tens of thousands of hate mail over the years, it's

easy to lose sight of the fact there are many who love and appreciate the truths of God and are benefiting from our ministry.

I had no idea how many people have been blessed and their lives made better through our little ministry... I can't remember a day that I have not received a word of encouragement from someone out there

in computerland.


I just want everyone to keep praying for and sending notes of encouragement and love to Ray and his family. We all know where we'd be if not for Ray being faithful to the call of God!! So let's all keep up with the prayers for Ray, I know he is anxious to get back to doing what he does best!
Praying on...
Kathy :)

Yes, Kathy thank you. I will keep praying Gods will be done. It is wonderful to just know that God is blessing his faithful servant Ray, by showing hime Love Never Fails. Love, out weighs all the persecution Ray has received. I know for me , I cannot even count the times I have thanked God for Ray. No, matter what the will of God is he is  holding Ray and his family in his loving arms and sent many messages of love to him. Its so comforting to hear Ray sent you an email and it increases our believe.

In His Love,
Marlene

Amen! Ray is always in my prayers. I truly see that light in the dark shining through ray when i read what he has to say. I'm so sad i'll probably never get to meet him in person. It would be amazing to have a conversation with ray face to face. I always told ray that it was because of Him that i knew God was real, alive, and indeed love. Through ray God showed me how truly Mighty He is.

I'm so thankful for ray and for what God did.

God bless you ray!! I love you so much! :)

In Christ,

Alex

Thank you Kathy for sharing. It warms my heart immensely that Ray knows he is appreciated by many who have come to know the TRUTH.

May God continue to give him strength to endure and recover.

Thanks for sharing with us Kathy. I'd also like to share with everyone a portion of the email I received from Ray today. Partly so folks won't just show up at his door like those mentioned in the email and also to make everyone aware of the possibility of a fall conference. It gave me hope and encouragement as I pray it does for you as well. Keep praying. I hope it is Gods Will that Ray get his healing, as I'm sure you do too.


I have had several people just show up at my front door

unannounced, and I spent a few hours with them, but it is not a comforting position

for me under the circumstances.  Should God keep me from getting any worse in the

upcoming months, I believe I will try to hold a Fall Bible Conference here in Mobile,

and I will at that time invite those who wish, to come over to my home and visit.

Maybe I shouldn't say this and if I am wrong, just slug me, but try to remember Ray once in awhile with all his medicine needs. Maybe everyone does and I know how time can slip away and one can forget. Judy

Oh my.. If Ray has another conference, one way or another, I am going to find a way to be there. And then, I'd get to meet a bunch of you!  :D

Ray has given us all such a great gift! I treasure each and every one of you! We are so blessed to have such a company of believers!! We don't ALL have to see eye-to-eye ALL THE TIME but we all agree that God is good and we are blessed and that is what counts!!! ;D

Boy, would i like to go to the fall conference. I loved Alabama and louisiana and to think i could see in person all of you would be a treasure. That's pretty far down though and I can't seem to make it to S.C. to see my sister but when I really really want to do something I find a way. I could see her, rest a bit and go some more. I hate flying because of my ears but i would do it. As you can all tell, I am sure, I am pretty ditzy so in case I miss the date, if it comes to fruition, holler. judy
