While Pastor Ray has anticipated retiring, he is
still on the battlefield. He has gracefully
embraced this season of intense outpour and
mentoring – and the prayers of the righteous
prevail in his favor. It is evident that he has
gained strength from trials and patience from
his experiences.
One thing that Pastor Ray has deemed noteworthy
is that his adult children have remained faithful to
the ministry and are both seen working to ensure
that the needs of their father are met. “It is a
blessing – a joy – a pleasure to have my children
by my side in support of each vision the Lord
allows me to undertake”, Ray states. Recently
Pastor Ray’s grandson, affectionally known as
Pastor Trey, relocated back to Memphis to assist
with the Youth Ministry at New Salem.
With an amazing family
and an out of this world
church family, Pastor Ray
has astronomically grown
naturally and spiritually.
Conclusively, as a
relevant voice for this
dispensation, Dr. Frank E.
Ray, Sr. has been blessed
to lead, teach, train, and
mentor. The dynamics of his
personal testimony and his walk with Jesus Christ
has strengthened and encouraged many along the
way. A look inside of his Church and a peak into
individual accomplishments magnifies that Pastor
Ray is a business man - organizationally sound,
operating from a place of polished excellence
that is trending to transcend time. Further,
looking into the life of a man that has multiplied
the many talents given to him by God, we salute
the tenacity and heart of this world-wide Memphis
preacher, friend, father, husband, leader,
confidante and Pastor - Dr. Frank E. Ray, Sr.
