Favorite Book(s)?

The Bible, Romans

Favorite music artist(s)? 

Country/Country gospel,  anything by Michael W. Smith

Person(s) you admire?

Rick and Jack. I look at them as my mentors and as friends. Together, they are a good mix, kinda like salt and pepper. My Dad. He taught me a lot of good old boy common sense and he really loved the Lord.

If you could have dinner w/ anybody (dead or alive), who would it be, and what is one question you would ask him/her?

Paul.   My question would be, "What was it like to be a teacher back then?"

What figure from church history / present-day leader has most impacted your ministry & why?

Billy Sunday. I really like "fire and brimstone" messages and I grew up in a Baptist church, so I really like salvation messages.

What type of person is Ray? 

I like to think of myself as someone with a lot of heart. It took me a lot of years, but I have a lot of fire when it comes to the Lord and I like to spread that fire with anyone who will listen. Just ask anybody how wound up I get when I start talking about God or when I do God's work. I am a "work in progress!"

Favorite verse from the Bible?

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."  John 3:16 (NKJV)
