After leaving the US Army, Ray began a downward spiral that only the direct intervention of God could have stopped. Ray was rescued by Jesus Christ through the ministry of Calvary Chapel. Ray and his lovely wife Kathy began to attend a local Free Methodist church where Ray was first ordained as a Local Licensed Pastor. After a few years of pastoral ministry, the Lord led Ray to plant a new Calvary Chapel in rural Virginia and Ray pastored that church for several years. Ray started a chaplaincy program with the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office, and this enabled Ray to become police chaplain through the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Ray was deployed by BGEA into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina where twice he was able to minister Jesus to the hurting. After turning the ministry in Virginia over to another pastor, the Lord moved Ray and his family to Edmond, Oklahoma and then to Slatington, Pennsylvania. Ray and Kathy continue to serve the Saints of the Lord and host a mid-week Bible study.

Eric grew up in a Christian family that served in different fields of ministry. He accepted the Lord as a child, seeking the certainty of Salvation he saw in his parents, grandparents, and other believers. He met his wonderful wife, Stephanie, while attending a youth Bible Study during his freshman year of college. Shortly after, they ended up team-leading that group and helping out at other young adult ministries. With more than ten years of marriage and two children, they have taught in Christian ESL, young married couples, and most recently Jr. Church at Grace. They continue to enjoy serving together as a family, in any capacity, wherever there is need. Eric serves to point people to the steadfast truth and true rest, which is only found in an ever-growing relationship with Jesus. Along with ministry, Eric works in maintaining electronic communication systems and has a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology.
