I started learning from Ray about 13 years ago. He is a street evangelist in the Los Angeles area. His story is fascinating. He is the founder of Living Waters Ministries, creator of The Way of the Master TV series, and an author of 80 + books and tracts. He's a family man, husband of 46 years, and great teacher and preacher of the Gospel. Of all the people in the business of promoting the Gospel of Jesus, he is the most influential to me. He taught me an effective way to witness to people that reaches the soul of every person you witness to. If you are interested in watching him in action, he preaches in open air every week on the board walk near Huntington beach, CA. I could spend all day watching his street witnessing videos (I've watched over 100 of them). My favorite in the Caribbean Woman episode (warning: not appropriate for the faint at heart). When she goes off on him, of course he remains calm. Getting back to the session. I met Ray and EZ (his son-in-law) in Houston at a speaking engagement. The session was a blast. To say we had a good time is an understatement. The thing about Ray I love the most is his love for people. It's not easy telling someone about Jesus. You get all kinds of reactions, especially when the people are God-haters. His genuine love for others is crystal clear when you watch his videos, and meeting him in person, didn't disappoint. In the middle of the session, Ray walked over to the some of the hotel workers and gave them a Gospel tract. Anyway, we had a good time (as you can see in the images) and this was one of my most important photo sessions I've ever done. Not because it was for a national magazine or anything like that, but because he is such a special person to me. He most definitely is a man of influence. His influence will last an eternity, and many people will be the benefactor of his actions. Thanks Ray, for granting me this opportunity.
