"The first time I heard the phrase “Gone to be with the Lord” was from Ps Ray McCauley. I never imagined the day would come when those words would be spoken about him. 💔."
"Well, that day has come. While I find comfort knowing this great giant of our faith has finished his race strong, my heart aches this morning. I didn’t get much time with him over the past three years since moving down to the coast."
He also shared that Ps Ray was the one who brought him closer to God and detailed how he's shown him and his wife love by sending them flowers on their anniversaries before adding:
"The most impactful times were our monthly lunch meetings—Kabelo, Wayne, Pushie, and I—sitting under his wisdom, either at his home or at a nearby restaurant. Those moments shaped us into the leaders we are today. Truly, every encounter with Pastor Ray was life-changing."
