Dr Angie Ray was such a great woman of God.. What I admired about her so much was that she had a great Compassion for the people and didn´t cut any corners with you whether you accepted it or not. I enjoyed listening to her day and night on the television broadcasts over the years. I still listens to her sermons today along with the late Bishop Richard Hinton. My Dad and I (before he passed) used to stay up late on Monday nights just to listen to his broadcast as well, and I still do.

Apostle Timothy McMonigal

I remember one time calling the prayer line and Dr. Ray answered the phone herself. I was very sick with Pancreatitis and Dr. Ray prayed the prayer of faith and God instantly touched my body. To God be The Glory I miss Dr. Ray with every fiber of my being.

I have never had the honor nor the pleasure of meeting The Late Dr. Angie Ray; but through watching her ministry on the WORD Network, I've grown to love, adore and respect her dearly
Over the years, Mother Ray have been a great inspiration to me by exhibiting true holiness. Her sincere love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came across so genuinely! It is clear that the weight of anointing that was upon her life was heavy. Some people pray for this type of powerful anointing, but aren't willing to be tried in the fire. No one will truly know the price Mother Ray paid to be endowed with the Fire Of The Holy Ghost I recall Her saying in one of her messages on YouTube, . . . If you wanna be with my Jesus, you have to be willing to suffer! Absolutely Mother Ray
Till today, I still grow spiritually from her messages on YouTube. Hallelujah . . . Thank God for Social Media
To the Ray Daughter's, continue Mother Ray's Beaitiful Legacy. All of you are a blessing not just to me, but many souls around the world God willing, one day I hope to come to fellowship with brothers and sisters whom know how to forget about self and let the Holy Spirit take over . . . Glory to God Being born in Cook County Hospital located in Chicago Illinois . . . I long for the day to visit my place of birth!
Love you all with the love of Jesus Christ . . . Praying that all of you as well as the Church on the Rock continue in the faith
No Matter How Long The Journey Has Been . . . Jesus Has Always Been Right By Our Side❤

To The Ray Sisters,

I love you guys, and I'm yet praying for you. I know its been over 8 years without your mother,but Dr. Ray is smiling and dancing with Jesus because she left her daughters here and you guys are pleasing the Lord. I love you guys. Even though, I don't know youguys personally but I take you guys as family. Pastor J. Denise has birthed me out in the SPirit through a shut in, and I take the rest of the Ray Sisters as aunties. I love you and God BLess You.

I thank God for Dr. Ray's life and legacy while she was here on earth with us. I am thankful for the scripture found in John 12:24 that says "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone, but when it dies it brings forth much fruit. I remember Dr. Ray would come on the radio at 5:30 a.m. and she quoted that scripture and it has always stuck with me through the years. I miss her you a lot. I love you so much Ray Sisters. I am getting to teary-eyed thinking of Pastor Ray. Just know I hadn't forgot she taught me to fall in love with Jesus. I am learning the value of spending precious time with God. Thank you Pastor Ray for loving me and my son Dee.

I watched a powerful sermon given by Dr. Angie Ray last night on the Word Channel. I could hardly wait to find additional information on Angie Ray Ministries on the internet today. Having located the Angie Ray Ministries website, I am disheartened to learn that Dr. Ray is no longer with us. Having only heard of and seen Dr. Ray for the first time just last night, I must say that her words spoke volumes to me. May God bless the Ray family.

March 11, 2012

Dr. Angie Ray was the voice of God, so in tune with God that God worked on deliverance on me just watching her on tv. She was a women, who declared truth, no matter who, or what. Her fruit remains in the reflection of her daughters as they have picked up the mantle, where she left off.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Coming to a city near you!

Well Bless the Lord! I was in Macon, GA with Apostle Undre Williams and after the service we went to IHOP and he began to tell me about the woman of God. I never got to personally meet her but I can see you flowing in the mantle she left behind. WHAT A LEGACY SHE LEAVES!! He spoke so highly of her I felt like I knew her....you be blessed and may the anointing that was released to all of you in measures be multiplied and may it gravitate to you everything you need God to do in your ministry and your personal lives as well...Favor, strength, and peace be multiplied to you all....Be Blessed! Be God in the Earth! Shake Nations for God! Storm the Gates of Hell!!

I can't believe that Dr. Angie Ray is gone. She was such a blessing to me and my sister, we would listen to her in the a.m. and talk about how the message was so on time. Listen to Dr. Ray encouraged us to read our Bible and to pray more. My sister actually got saved from listening to Dr.Ray in the mornings. I am sorry that I never told her that, Dr. Ray was used to bless so many. Please keep up the good work Pastor Kimberly Ray and family, you all are a blessing to so many.

I have been so blessed by the late Dr. Angie Ray. I am a 4th generation woman minister. I recently lost my mother on August 5, 2007 Bishop Bobby Jean Moore. My mother gave her life for the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.I look at the Ray Sisters and know that there is a God indeed. I know my mother is asleep in Jesus but the pain of her departure has been hard. I Pray for the strength that you and your sister exhibits.

I was a faithful listner of Dr. Ray in the 5:30am hour.I would ride in to work with her and the anointing of God in the morning. I used to always say that I was going to write and tell her how much I enjoyed her a.m. broadcast, but I never did. I had to repent for not allowing the woman of God to know that she was loved by me as well. I loved her spirit. she was a very open woman of God. I feel like the Ray sisters are my sisters and she was my mother. God Bless you women of God and may God continue to strengthen and keep all four of you.

Grace & Peace be unto you all, I did not know Dr. Angie Ray personally but I watched the program on Monday nights here in Virginia, My mother passed away 5 years ago and she also was a Pastor and I have 2 other sisters and we sang up and down the road with my mother just like you all did, your family reminds me of our family in so many ways, I am sorry to hear of her homegoing but she is truly home now and maybe she has met my mother and they are singing the praises of God together. I too, have picked up the mantle to carry the legacy and Ministry on and it is not easy but God is in control. I will keep you in my prayers for continued strength in the days ahead, it will get a little lighter but you will never forget the memories nor should you.

To the Ray Sisters:



We have just learned of the homegoing of Pastor Ray. We were in shock of her passing. She empowered our spirtual walk in a powerful way. Truely your mother was a true born-again, fire baptized and Holy Ghost filled woman of God. I also know that God had a better place waiting for her. A home not made by man. A place where she can stand and shout forever more. The work is in your hands: Run and watch God work. With our love and prayers are being sent your way forever.

I just want to say that i was very very sad to hear about my gal, my woman of God leaving so suddenly. I still can't believe she's gone, it's gonna take a while for it to set in that i won't be seeing my buddy in the lord. I've never felt this sad for someone that i've never met personally. At the same time her death is a blessed death, for we don't have to wonder where she is. I hoped yall had a dancing time at her homegoing, i'm sure that's what she would have wanted.

Ray Sisters:



I just found out last week that Dr. Pastor Angie Ray went home to

be with the Lord. When I first got saved her radio ministry helped me to Pray in the Spirit without ceasing. My father died 1/17/06, a month after your mother's funeral. They both are present with our Resurrected Christ. Your mother has been multipled at least four times in you sisters. You will be good role models for me and my sisters, and other sisters on how to be united and on one accord in the LORD because of your good role model - MOTHER.



I thank God for her ministry & yours,

I thank the Lord for having been ministered to in person and on t.v. by Dr. Angie Ray. She was inspirational in changing my life. She had the annointing to rebuke (with a smile) and love at the same time. That only comes from God.



My prayers along with so many others is for the Lord to continue to comfort the "Ray Sisters" and the Church on the Rock family.

My prayers go out to the family of Dr. Angie Ray. Dr. Ray was a true women of God. She accurately spoke into my life without even knowing or seeing me. She took the time to call me in response to an e-mail. Not many people of her magnitude would do that. I know she is in Heaven and has received her reward!

Grace Flowers

January 10, 2006

To the Ray sisters, I send my heartfelt condolences to you at this time of transition. I e-mailed Dr. Ray with a prayer request in the fall of 2004, and was pleasantly surprised when she called me on the telephone to encourage me. She ministered to me with such compassion and power. She told me, and I will never forget, "you have the power to cast the devil out of your house". Since that call, I have purposed to watch the broadcast on Monday nights on the WORD Network at midnight. Dr. Ray will be greatly, greatly missed. She effected change in so many lives, and God truly got the glory out of her life. I pray that you all will continue to be strength for each other, and the church family during this season. Dr. Ray taught you well and her legacy lives on through you.

Dr. Ray is gone physically. I cannot believe it. I tuned in last night (January 9). I almost missed the telecast, but happened to look up at the clock. I enjoyed Dr. Ray's ministry so very much. What a powerful vessel of Good. So upfront and in your face with it. Daughters of God, keep on keeping on. She shall be sorely missed.

I pray that the Ray Sisters will continue with the Ministry and May the LORD Richly Bless and continue to Be With Them. Agape, Brother Berry

On monday night I found out that your mother, Pastor Angie Ray, had went on home to be with the lord. My whole family and other that we knew were shock to hear of mother Angie Ray's passing.Even though I never met her, I felt she was a spiritual mother, because she was teaching and preaching true holiness and it was just what I needed.Mother Angie Ray has touch my life and many of others. Please, be encourage. We will be praying for you,your family, and your church family.May God Bless you and your ministry.

Dr. Claudia Hall

January 4, 2006

To the Ray Sisters and the Church family you have my sympathy. I was really sadden when I viewed the word network on Monday night to hear of Dr. Ray's passing it was very nice of you to share her Homegoing Services. I never got a chance to meet her, but it seemed like I knew her and her daughters. Dr. Ray was such an anointed and powerful woman of God. I would stay up late just to watch her and her daughters on Monday nights. I would be so...tired and sleepy. There were many times I wanted to write her to let her know how much her ministry was a blessing to me, but I didn't, prior to this past Monday I missed two of her programs when I woked up it was 12:30 am. I was so... hurt that's how much I loved to listen to her. This past Monday I thought I was going to see her I was disappointed. She will truly be missed, but never forgotten. Ray sisters Hold your heads up and continue the ministry. God is with you at this time of sorrow.

Kensley Waller

Dear Ray Sisters,

I just want to say you, through this ministry, I have come to know what prayer "really" does.I am just a small town Mississippi boy that was blessed by Dr Ray's power house sermon's that went forth with clarity. Through them I recieved my deliverance. One day I really went through some things on my job. I couldn't wait to view the Dr. Ray that night because I knew that God had a word for me through Dr. Ray. All I can remember is Dr. Ray saying in order to recieve your deliverance, you have to call that demon out! As Dr. Ray prayed that night, I began to call them out and my God moved in such a way until everybody in the house asked me what was happening. I told them I thank God for my Pastor Dr. Ray praying me through into my deliverance! I thank and praise God that I can feel the annointing that flows through my television screen every Monday night and I look forward to many more.The mantle is here hold fast to it that God's people may prosper through it. God Bless You Ray Sisters!!

To The Ray Sister's and the Church on The Rock Family,



We were certainly shocked when we viewed your broadcast last night (Word Network) and viewed the homegoing services of Dr. Ray. At the conclusion of the broadcast Tanya asked if we the viewing audience could contact you and let you know if we were blessed by the broadcast. Well, we certainly were. Thank you so much for allowing us your viewing audience to participate in the homegoing services with you. I was truly a blessing to see the love and how the minstry of Dr. Ray has impacted so many lives across this country. Praise God that the mantle willl live on and be carried out through the Ray sisters and the church on the rock. We will centainly miss her and will continue to lift you and your family up in prayer. I can truly relate to how you are feeling now. I lost my Father unexpectedly last year on Valentines Day. But God gives us strenght and you will make it through. I can say that it is much easier to face the loss of a loveone when you know that your loveone are resting in the arms of the Lord and that you will be able to see them again.

Blessings,

Dear Ray sisters, we bless you in the name of Jesus! God lead Bro. McDonald and I to the ministry in 1993 wounded and bound from years of sin. Our lives and the lives of our family and friends changed eternally. God used Pastor Ray and The Church on the Rock to introduce us to the ministry of deliverance. Over the years she has counseled, rebuked, corrected but most importantly loved us as if we we're her own children. During our last visit in March of 2005 she called me to the altar and laid hands on me charging me with the same Ministry of Deliverance. She has beared good fruit and her fruit has remained. Thank you for sharing her with the world. Love, The McDonald family.

To The Ray Sisters and The Church on the Rock, I was so sorry to here of the passing of The mighty Woman of God Dr. Ray. She stood for someone wonderful and that was the lord. Her teaching and preaching on Holiness remided me of the teaching of my former Bishop Mother Horn. I thank God for her life and her ministry. It was truly a blessing to watch her every week but, She is with the lord now resting in his care. Heaven is now just alittle sweeter because she is there.



God Bless you Ray sisters and The Church on the Rock and continue to carry the Mantel for it now up to you!!!

To the Ray sisters and church family

Dr.Angie Ray ministries was a great blessing to me and my grandmother (Pastor Lydia Bonds)there would be times when my grandmother would be tired and forces herself to stay up late monday nights to watch Dr. Angie Ray. She would be strengthen from the encouraging words that came from the woman of God. Her and I both would be having church in the living room just praising and glorifying the Lord together. Even though I never met Dr. Angie Ray I can tell that she did'nt take down or back down on the word of God, But she stood firm. Thank God for a true soldier that fought a good fight. Peace be with you all always. God bless.

To The Ray Sisters & Chuch Family:



I never met Dr. Ray in person, but I watched her Monday nights on TV and she has been a blessing and inspiration to me. I was sadden to hear of her passing, but to know that she lived the life and set an example for saints to live by. She will be truly missed on the air waves. Our prayers are with you always and for the ministry. Continue to hold up the blood stained banner and carry on the ministry that has been set before you.



Prayerfully,
