Tim Staples Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Catholic Answers
Dear Steve, It was a pleasure to meet you and to hear you speak at our “Be A Man Conference” for the Diocese of Scranton. Your fast-paced and fascinating presentation kept the men on the edge of their seats. I am amazed that you could fly back 13 hours from Israel and be fresh the next morning. In particular your apologetics were very good. I think that the way Holy Mother Church has been beaten down in popular culture it is good for Catholic Men to hear that Catholics have always had the right stuff. You are living proof that God is a great recruiter. We needed men with an evangelical knowledge of the Bible and a passion for it and He went out and signed you up! I will prize the signed copy of your testimonial story and look forward to a future pilgrimage with you. Michael C. Kilmer, Conference Co-ChairmanSteve Ray is one of the greatest Catholic speakers and apologists in the country. Not only does Steve command a great knowledge of the Catholic faith, Scripture, and history, but he is passionate and enthusiastic, inspiring people to love and live out their Catholic faith. He also makes learning the Catholic faith interesting and exciting. One could say that he brings it to life. Steve Ray is a must have speaker. ~Brian Mercer, Int’l Speaker & Retreat Leader
I’ve read “Crossing the Tiber” and heard your conversion talk many times and I thought that these were all “home runs”. Well, I picked up a copy of your latest cd on your conversion talk at the men’s “Rekindle the Fire” men’s conference in South Bend last month and I just want to tell you that you knocked this one “OUT OF THE PARK!” Fantastic! I will be getting several copies of this to pass out to family and friends! Thank you so much for your witness to Christ, Steve. You keep honing your witness talk and it is definitely bearing fruit. You haven’t lost any of your enthusiasm and your message is just resonating with me! Thank you, Steve, and keep up the good work! I’m pretty sure that you will be invited back… ~Ron BSteve, Thanks for coming, you make a difference. The men were spirit filled. I wish time had permitted you to be there for the closing Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. What a powerful experience. My brother Deacon Jose Manuel, had the men come to the altar ,kneeling on the steps. He brought the Monstrance to each man personally. The degree of reverence was profound. From what you did, the Holy Spirit was able to enter their lives like never before. The experience will leave them hungry for more. Their parishes will sustain them until once again they will have an opportunity to summit the mount of transfiguration and be renewed once more. You have a gift my friend. You can touch the hearts of men where they are and invite them to become transformed into disciples and leaders for Christ.
Of course, I’ll write you a letter of recommendation! I will also share our experience with our brothers in the Diocese of the Palm Beaches and with the Diocese of Orlando, who have men’s conferences as well. May God continue to bless you and your family. May He continue to bless your ministry abundantly. — Deacon Vincent Eberling, Miami Florida Men’s Conference

On behalf of Faith & Ale and Faith & Wine – Lee Counly,Florida we wish to sincerely thank you for your contributions to our recent meeting. Your message was very well received by our audience as it provided much insight mixed in with a good measure of entertainment!
We had a record audience signed up to hear you speak, and the turn-out was tremendous. With the message and encouragement you delivered, our Catholic men and women wi ll go back into their jobs, their homes, and their fan1i lies with renewed confidence to deliver the message of Christ to those around them.
You reminded us that, as Catholics, we are “swimming upstream” against a post–Christian
culture. Just as the early Church was forced to take stands that required heroic courage, so must we today be willing to do the same if we want to reclaim the lost culture around us. Your energy and enthusiasm for the Faith was infectious, and your personal stories of swords and Roman helmets made us laugh as well !
We look forward to seeing you again. May God continue to bless you in all of your travels and evangelization!
I would like to offer my endorsement for Steve Ray as a great Catholic speaker and evangelist. His knowledge and enthusiasm made a great impact on those who heard him speak recently at St. Mary Cathedral…His story of journeying to the Catholic Church from a very strong evangelical background was also very inspiring….Steve Brings a great base of knowledge of the Holy Land and other biblical sites due to his extensive travel and research, having led countless pilgrimages for people of faith. Yours in Christ, Fr. Don Geyman Rector, St. Mary Cathedral |

Dear Steve,Thank you so very much for a wonderful presentation at the Orlando chapter meeting. You are so very enlightened with the Spirit it overflows to all who are listening to you speaking. Cradle Catholics seem to lack the fire of you converts, but you sure did light a fire under all of us. Austin and I are looking forward to spending time with you on the October trip. Sincerely, Carole Caruso Legatus Orlando Chapter Secretary |

We are blessed to have you for these two weeks to minister at the International Leaders Conference where 300 Priests, religious and lay leaders of the Church took part. Your simple but deep sharing of the Catholic themes in a very lucid style has inspired the youth as well as the leaders. Fr. Augustine Valloran V.C. www.drcm.org |

Steve Ray presented a three-night parish mission here at Sts. Anne adn Joachim in Fargo North Dakota. Steve did a great job for us. He was engaging and gave a meaningful message. So many people came back all three evenings to hear what he had to teach us… I would have no hesitation about recommending any parish to bring Steve Ray in. He will not disappoint. In a day and age when we need good simple catholic teaching that draws on our rich history and heritage, Steve Ray delivers. Sincerely, Fr. Paul Duchschere Pastor |

Dear Steve,You were in a fervid spirit and gave a most convincing talk for our Call to Holiness Benefit Dinner. You were just the very thing needed to stir up a deeper appreciation of the precious truths of our faith and of the greatness of the Catholic Church. Too many of us do not realize the gift we have been given. You presentation helped us to wonder again about God’s beneficence. Many commented on the effectiveness of your words. I hope that the good God will continue to give you that holy zeal for His cause while keeping you humble in His service.Fr. Eduard Perrone Founder, Call to Holiness |

Hi Steve,
Happy Easter! I hope you and your family are well! Thank you again for such a fabulous talk at our prayer breakfast in March. I wanted you to know how much the Bread of Life discourse during the daily masses this week has come to life for me since hearing your talk! The visual images you provided of the lamb and the sacrifice are so real to me since hearing your talk. I have never doubted the True Presence, but the visual is so strong now. I was talking with another prayer breakfast attendee yesterday and she shared the same thoughts, so I wanted to share with you. Thank you!
Peace and blessings, Marcie |
“One of the best interview’s I have ever listened to. Steve is an excellent communicator. Good job!!”
