"How thrilled I am to discover this web site and again drink deeply from the life-giving ministry of Dr. Ray H. Hughes. I am a product of Dr. Hughes ministry. On November 27, 1983, Dr. Hughes preached a message, "What Does the Cross Mean To You"? That night God rescued me from sin and called me by His grace to preach the Gospel. Ray Hughes has been a preaching mentor and Pentecostal Statesman. I will always cherish the opportunity I had to serve with him on the Executive Council, and now, because of this Web site, my children can have the privilege of hearing and seeing a true Evangelist and Godly example. Thank you, Ray Hughes, for your passion and Word-Centered ministry. I am a life that was changed."

"Ray H. Hughes Sr. is greatly gifted by the Lord. I am most acquainted, personally, with his gift as an educator when Ulna and I served with him in his rescuing and building Lee College into an institution of note in intellectual, professional and spiritual development and preparation for service to God and the Church. This was accomplished in an atmosphere of spiritual revival.   He is a friend of the past, a friend of the present and a friend forever."

  "To this day, I consider Dr. Hughes to be one of my greatest influences in ministry. Even at the early age of 12 years old, he gave me and my sisters (Jacobs Sisters) an opportunity to minister at the General Assembly. He also gave me my first opportunity to sing in chapel while I was at Lee. There have been many campmeetings where he was the speaker and I was the singer. He always said, "Judy, you and I make a great team". His affirmation toward me, really impacted me and encouraged me to pursue all that God has for me in ministry. Thank you Dr. Hughes; Jamie and I count it a joy to call you FRIEND!"

Judy Jacobs Tuttle.  Author, Singer, Minister.

"Whatever success I've had, I attribute it to prayer.  I believe that through prayer all things are possible.  I know what it is to have an angel to visit me at 3:20 in the morning.  I saw some mighty moves of God.  I understand what it means to be pressed in the Spirit.  I know what it means when He talks about travail and intercession."  Dr. Hughes

 Press here Quote  "My first opportunity to hear Dr. Hughes in person is one of the most significant experiences of my life. The message he preached that night, "Let The Fire Fall", impacted me greatly. Even at a tender age of 9, the anointing that carried the Word of the Lord from his heart into mine was a pivotal moment in my early spiritual development. He remains my favorite preacher, and continues to be an invaluable inspiration not only to me but thousands around the world."
