Between 1978 and 1979, Ray and his first wife developed an interest in ministry and decided to enrol in a bible college. They settled for Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Once they were through with their studies, they decided to go back to South Africa to establish their church but still under the Rhema Ministries. Together with his wife, he started Rhema South Africa that only 13 people attended in the beginning.

Rhema Church Randburg

Despite having a low membership, they did not give up. On the contrary, as time went by, the membership grew, prompting them to look for a bigger space at Rosebank, Johannesburg. Still, the membership increased, and they had to look for even bigger space, and that is when they moved to a warehouse in Randburg's Jan Smuts Avenue before settling to their current premises.

The church moved to the newly built 5,000-seat auditorium in Johannesburg, Randburg, in 1985. The auditorium was subsequently upgraded to over 7,5000 seats to accommodate the church's exponential growth.
