Stephen K. Ray was raised in a Fundamentalist Baptist family and was dedicated to Jesus in the local Baptist Church. In 1976, Stephen married Janet who came from a long line of Protestants.

Prior to 1994, neither Steve or Janet had ever set foot in a Catholic Church. After studying many books to convince their best friend and recent convert, Al Kresta, that the early church was evangelical, Steve and Janet backed their way right into the Catholic Church. On Pentecost Sunday, 1994, they entered the Church at Christ the King Parish in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 

Steve began writing a letter to his father explaining why they became Catholic. Steve and Janet have been to the Holy Land over 170 times exploring, filming, and leading thousands of pilgrims. Steve is a regular guest on Catholic radio and TV including Catholic Answers, Ave Maria Radio, Relevant Radio, and EWTN. He also writes Bible studies for Catholic Scripture Study International.
