Pastor Ray Franks is with the Lord

We celebrate the life of Pastor Ray Franks. Ray went to be with the Lord early this afternoon. What a legacy this strong man of God has left us all! He helped form FGGAM with excellent Godly advice.  I will never forget the letter Pastor Ray wrote for me to help establish FGGAM. He taught me much, one of the most imporant things he told me was, “Dewey, always pray that the Lord’s Will be done.” Pastor Ray was the founder of KAZQ TV CH 32 and the Evangel Christian Center and School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Also Pastor Ray founded K-Lite Christian Radio, KLYT signed on the air in 1975 with a light contemporary Christian music format under the auspices of the newly formed Christian Broadcasting Academy. The vision of CBA founders, including Rev. Raymond Franks of Albuquerque’s Evangel Temple Assembly of God. A true Christian Radio/TV Broadcast Pioneer! We pray now for his lovely wife Becky and the family of son Pastor Brenton Franks and daughter Michon Franks Henegar. Many of you have called asking about Pastor Ray, we thank you for  your love and concern for Pastor Ray and family. Here is a note from Pastor Brenton: My dad went on to Heaven a few minutes ago. We were so privileged to have had the family with him. Our lives will be emptier, but Heaven will be a greater destination for me. Thank you for your prayers over the last almost 7 weeks. Truly we rejoice in all God has done for us and for the wonderful host of friends and family who have supported us.

We are praying for you all Pastor Brenton.

The picture of me and Ray is the last time I was on TV with him doing Spectrum. I love this man so! Also I have included a picture of Ray and his angel Becky, please keep her in your prayers.

Thank You Lord for the life and testimony of Brother Ray Franks, let us be “Ray like” in our walk with You, in Jesus name, Amen!
