My name is Raymond E. Leonard, but I go by Ray, or Brother Ray or Brother Leonard. I was raised by parents that loved Jesus and took me to church. At about 12 years of age I gave my life to Jesus, and oh what a wonderful Savior I found Him to be. I have one sister, Lorraine, who is also saved and loves Jesus.
A traveling minister that we housed for a night told me and my parents that I was going to be a preacher when I grew up. I was six years old at the time. When I was about 13 years old an evangelist prophesied over me, the Lord saying, “I see you holding the Cross of Christ proudly.” When I graduated from high-school I attended Southeastern Bible College, (Southeastern University) in Lakeland Florida. I met and married my lovely wife Elaine (Pictured). After 15 years of marriage God answered our prayers for a child, and gave us a wonderful son, named Shawn.
We have ministered on the Evangelistic field and pastored three churches in the last 58 years. God has proven Himself, over and over again to us by saving souls, healing sick bodies, delivering people from demonic oppression, baptizing many individuals in the Holy Spirit, and even raising the dead.
I am beginning this ministry ‘PORTALS OF GLORY’, and my purpose is to reach people for the kingdom through receiving Jesus, Christ as “Savior and Lord. People will come to Christ, be healed, be delivered, by blessed, encouraged to keep on keeping on for our Lord, until He comes again. Feel free to read any and all articles that God has given me and be strengthened and blessed. I want you to find the Lord, Jesus, Christ a very present help in the time of need. I pray that you will come to know Christ with an intimacy, purity, and love that you never knew possible. GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU ENTER, ‘PORTALS OF GLORY’.
