to fulfill the Great Commission."
• "The impact of Living Water upon Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale
will be experienced for years to come through the lives of those who are led
to Christ by our church using this insightful weapon of warfare . . . It wasn't
anything new, just something fresh. It puts a perspective on evangelism that
will turn any congregation 180 degrees toward the lost." Pastor
Bob Coy, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale
• "Ray Comfort [has] a keen passion to reach the souls of those who

and be firmly grounded in the godly principals of Biblical evangelism." Pastor
Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor Calvary Chapel Chino Hills
• "My life personally and our entire church body has come to truly
understand evangelism and how to do it! Through Ray's guest speaking and his

enough for such a modern day hero of faith." Bryan Newberry ,Calvary
Chapel San Diego, Senior Pastor
• "Ray has been a friend for years and his ministry has been a great
help to millions including me. I would highly recommend to any church that
is serious about getting the gospel out that they have Ray come preach. He
will stimulate believers to win more souls and influence lives for the Lord."
Kent Hovind, President and Founder, Creation Science Evangelism
• "Ray Comfort is one of the most inspiring evangelists of our time.
The Lord has used him to bring to light the clear Biblical message of the
Gospel, by first plowing up the hardness of heart by using God's Law. We use
Living Waters tracts every time we set out to do the work of evangelism. It
makes witnessing fun. I heartily recommend Ray Comfort and Living Waters Ministry
to anyone who wants help in personal evangelism." Pastor Brian
Bell, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Murrieta
• "I have known Ray Comfort for 15 years and have always admired not
only his teaching but his life which backs up his teaching . . . Ray is truly
an equipping evangelist (Ephesians 4:11-12), and has been used by God to equip
and inspire thousands of others, including myself. I highly recommend him
. . . " Danny Lehmann, Calvary Chapel Honolulu
• "Having been involved in evangelism for over 20 years I find Ray's
message a breath of fresh air in an age of confusion and compromise. Ray forces
us to think Biblically and come back to our senses when it comes to reaching
a lost world. Ray Comfort's ministry and message is just what today's church
needs." Pastor Mike Sasso, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Downey
• "Ray is a New Zealand born lover of Jesus Christ who believes in
the absolute authority of Scripture, is a powerful effective communicator,
and is a lot of fun to have around. His no nonsense approach, bathed in humor,
and pointed at the heart and mind, has seen many, many people of all ages
saved over the years in many countries . . . I would like you to consider
welcoming Ray Comfort to your churches, and I do this without reservation."
Pastor Brian Hughes, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Auckland, New
Zealand
• "Ray Comfort not only ministers a potent God-centered message to
those needing to repent of sin, but also equips the Christian to do the work
of evangelism. Saint and sinner alike will be stirred by Ray's ministry. When
Ray has come here to minister to us, there has always been a fruitful resurgence
of outreach and personal evangelism. I highly recommend Ray and the Living
Waters ministry team." Pastor John Atkinson, Senior Pastor, Calvary
Chapel North Long Beach
• "Ray Comfort's work in evangelism is one of the few that I have
found that actually fulfills Ephesians 4:11-12 which declares that the call
of the evangelist is to equip the saints for the work of ministry . . . Ray
delivers an effective one-two punch against the deception of sin in men's
hearts . . . Rays' materials are powerful tools used by God in these deceptive
days and can help equip any individual or church for more effective evangelism."
Pastor Jeff Deane, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel O'Hare
• "I have had the esteemed privilege of witnessing the mighty work
that the Lord is doing in and through Ray Comfort . . . I have examined [his]
biblical approach of evangelism, and I find it theologically sound. I have
had Ray teach on a number of occasions at our church and have only seen the
Body of Christ edified thereby. It is with great enthusiasm that I commend
the Living Waters ministry to you." Pastor Trent Douglass, Senior
Pastor, Calvary Chapel Saving Grace
• "I fully recommend and support without reservation the Living Waters
ministry. It has proved to be a tremendously valuable asset to our church.
The tracts and training materials are greatly used by the Lord to edify, equip
and effectively enable believers to be discipled in the area of evangelism
. . . The Living Waters ministry is heaven sent and Spirit empowered, which
is exactly what we need for the times in which we live. I pray more Christians
avail themselves of this ministry and it's resources." Pastor
Claude Stauffer, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel of Hope, New York
• "Ray's teachings on evangelism were so clear and captivating to one
of our high school students, that he invited thirty unsaved friends to his
house to share Christ with them. It was glorious! Living Waters keeps it simple
and scriptural. I can't recommend Ray . . . highly enough." Pastor
Steve Berger, Senior Pastor Grace Chapel, Tennessee
• "It is always a blessing to have Ray Comfort speak here at Revival. Ray uses his good humor and wit to communicate the truth of God’s Word and the godly principals of Biblical evangelism.

• "The Lord has used Ray's message, and especially the Hell's Best
Kept Secret teaching, to radically shape and form my ministry in everything

and His people blessed . . . I wholeheartedly recommend Ray and Kirk . . ."

1. Do you dislike Billy Graham? |
| Ray: |
I'm reminded of a woman who spread a rumor about a certain pastor.
When she found that the rumor was untrue, she went to him and asked
for his forgiveness. He forgave her, but told her to take a pillow
to street corner on a very windy day, and empty its feathers out,
and let the wind blow them about the town. Then he told her to go
out and try and gather up the feathers. He said that that was what
her rumor had done to his reputation. The damage she had done was
irreparable.
This horrible rumor -- that I don't like Billy Graham -- just isn't
true. And it's been impossible to stop the damage it's done. I love
and greatly respect Dr. Billy Graham. I'm honored that his son Franklin
commended my ministry and called me "a seasoned evangelist."
I'm thrilled that James D. Stambaugh (the Director of the Billy
Graham Center Museum) commended my Evidence Bible. I am also honored
beyond words that Dr. Graham's Decision magazine asked me to write
for their magazine. |

2. Do you not like Calvary Chapels? |
| Ray: |
I love Calvary Chapel. It was a Calvary Chapel that brought me and my family to the United States back in 1989 and ordained me as a Calvary pastor, where I served for 18 years. My two top right-hand men--Pastor Emeal Zwayne (my General Manager) and Pastor Mark Spence (the Dean of our 11,000 student on-line School of Biblical Evangelism) are Calvary pastors. Both of them were saved at Harvest Crusades.
The purpose of this site isn't to push the teaching in Calvary's. We don't need to do that. God is opening wonderful doors for it. Our (I co-host with actor Kirk Cameron) TV program is now on 31 networks, goes to 70 countries, and is seen by millions. Dr. D. James Kennedy played "Hell's Best Kept Secret" three times on his national radio program. |

3. Are you saying that your way is this the only way to present
the gospel? |
| Ray: |
Actually, it's not 'my way.' The question should rather be, 'Is
this the biblical way to present the gospel?' I leave the answer
to that question up to you. Calvary Chapels are known for being
committed to God's Word, so be as the Bereans and search the Scriptures
to see if these things are so. If they are not, forget what I'm
saying. But if what I'm saying is biblical, it's your call as to
what you do with it.
But if it wasn't biblical, why would Campus Crusade for Christ
request 5,000 CD's of the teaching?
Please don't miss out on what God is doing simply because of an
untrue rumor. If you are a Calvary Chapel pastor or a church leader,
we would love to send you my book called, The Way of the Master
(published by Tyndale House Publishers) and two CD's. Here are some
commendations to stir your interest:
"The Way of the Master will rank in the top most important books
ever written on evangelism. It ranks with and in my opinion is
better than Spurgeon's, Soul Winner which I must say has been
one of my all time favorites." Ron Begin (FL)
"I am at a loss for words. Overwhelming, distressing, and enlightening.
I feel as if I have just taken a drink of water from a fire hydrant!"--Jason
Stewart (CA)
"I have over one thousand books on evangelism, soul-winning,
and revival in my personal library, and none of them are worthy
to be compared to this book." --Pastor R. W. Jones (TX)
When Christians discover this teaching they become passionate about
it. But when church leaders resist it, there is division. We don't
want that to happen. Again, this site doesn't exist to promote the
teaching. It exists in the hope that it will stop division.
If you are a Calvary Chapel pastor, and would like the free package, click
here to send us your name and address
(we will delete this information as soon
as we send your package). If you are not
a Calvary Chapel pastor, but you would like to hear
the teaching, go to our free online area
at www.LivingWaters.com/learn.
"Hell's Best Kept Secret has completely destroyed my theology.
What was first anger toward you, caused me to search the scripture,
and has now turned to a sincere thank you." Pastor Jerod
McPherson
"I have served as a pastor, Teen Challenge Director, Crusade
Director for David Wilkerson, and missionary, but never during
those years did I encounter an evangelist with a more life-changing
message." -- Pastor Bob Rogers, Dallas, TX
"After a thousand revivals and area crusades I have used
a lot of soul-winning materials. Hell's Best Kept Secret' is the
greatest single tool I have ever found." Evangelist Larry
Taylor
