James and Mary Ray are thankful for continued opportunities to serve and encourage churches and missionaries. A recent highlight was returning to Calvary Baptist Church in Olney, Illinois, for their 70th anniversary—a church that holds special meaning as James once served there as pastor. It was a blessing to reconnect, preach, and see the lasting impact of faithful ministry in that community. 

They have also been actively involved in training the next generation of missionaries, participating in Candidate School where they helped equip new laborers preparing for the field. This investment in future missionaries is a vital part of their ministry, helping ensure that the Gospel continues to go forward around the world.

In addition, they remain engaged in broader outreach efforts, including promoting missions and supporting initiatives like the Reseeding Great Britain Campaign, which focuses on distributing Bibles and strengthening Gospel witness. Through travel and ministry opportunities, they continue to encourage churches and emphasize the ongoing need for laborers in the harvest.
