Ray Salah is a father, husband, and devoted servant of the Lord. Born in the Palestinian West Bank to an Arabic family, he witnessed firsthand the deeply divisive effects of war. After immigrating to the United States, he grew up with the belief that the world hated him and he would never be good enough. That all changed when he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Prior to accepting the gift of salvation, Ray was a criminal who participated in gang violence—including murder—and a drug addict. Since becoming a servant of the Lord, he has devoted his life to serving his church, community, and family. Alongside his wife, Kathrine, he traveled across Texas in a motorcycle ministry called Redeemed Riders, which sought to bring bikers to Jesus Christ while also feeding and clothing the homeless population in the state. In recent years, he participated in a local prison ministry to spread the Good News and inform prisoners that no one is past the point of redemption.

Redeemed by the Blood was written with Ray’s deepest desire to let everyone know we are all the same in the eyes of God. Jesus is here to offer love and transformation to those who receive Him in their heart.
