Ray grew up believing in God, but without guidance, affirmation, or direction. From childhood trauma and addiction to selling drugs and chasing success, he tried to fill a void nothing could satisfy. At rock bottom, a desperate cry to God changed everything. This is a raw testimony of brokenness, surrender, and radical transformation through Jesus.Support our channel & Become a Partner âšÂ https://www.missiondelafe.org/  Listen on Podcast Spotify Podcast âš https://spoti.fi/3RBKdq3Apple Podcast âš https://apple.co/3evzCuuConnect with ushttps://www.facebook.com/delafetestimonieshttps://www.instagram.com/delafetestimonies/Connect with RayInstagram @GratefulApparel: https://www.instagram.com/gratefulapparel/@GiveMeTen: https://www.instagram.com/givemeten/TikTok:TikTok.com/@GratefulApparelTiktok.com/@GiveMeTenCowww.GRATEFULAPPAREL.comwww.GiveMeTen.clubCredits:Testimony by Raymond "Grateful Ray" RiveraDirected by Darvin RamirezInterviewed by Jenifer LopezEdited By Joshua GayleAudio Mixed by Paul Nicholas Testimony Recorded in Orlando, FloridaDelafĂ© Testimonies is a global evangelistic project with the mission of creating the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies until His return.
