I have heard Raul's testimony hundreds of times. He was my pastor from 1975-80. He ordained me and sent me to Kansas to start a church. At a recent reunion, people that had been at my church in the 80's & 90's came and told me their lives had been impacted. I saw this today and say thank you Raul & Sharon for building a good foundation in Sue and I, it has kept us in Christ!
Beautiful testimony! I am saved, but I said the prayer with Pastor Raul again, and with tears for the love I felt in my heart. Thank you Pastor Raul for sharing your testimony. I listened to you for years on my way to work. You impacted my life immensely❤
Yes I listened to pastor Raul testimony I began to cry it was very powerful, I had heard him on radio years back but I recently looked up pastor and got the app and I listen intently everyday everytime I need reassuring I look at church every Sunday online..I read his teachings🙏all the time
Jesus used Pastor Ries while he was a guest pastor at Harvest to bless me with the Holy Spirit!! It was a wonderful time for me. thank you Pastor Ries!!!
Pastor Raul I may never meet you in this life but...when God began His good work of salvation in me, I didn’t have a church to go to but I found you, Pastor Chuck Smith and Pastor. David Rosales on the radio. You guys were my Bible teachers for the first year. Praise our God for His grace, mercy and peace
sir i heard you on the radio here in las vegas, i never heard any one like you, you convicted me, i want to hear more, no othere preacher has given me so much meat i want more please.
I went to your church in West Covina I loved it then I moved to Ontario after that I'm here in the high desert but I still hear you in the radio I enjoy hearing you. Thank you for being a part of my life
Semper Fi! I can relate to a lot of your story and testimony. Born into a broken home, my dad was a violent, alcoholic, womanizer, and bar room brawler. He used to take me to the bars also as a child and I would play video games while he drank, gambled, and had sex with the women there in the bathrooms...Nothing a child should see. I vowed to NEVER become like him but many years later, I was just like him...Ran with the gangs, got saved, starting taking martial arts (Tang Soo Do, Shotokan, and Kempo) joined the Marines by a miracle (drug, gang, criminal waivers) and then continued the cycle of my father...By the grace of God, I'm going to be graduating with my Bachelor's in Ministry next week and applying for my Masters in Divinity at APU or Life Pacific... God gets ALL the glory... OOHRAH! (I even did a short film with the Veteran's Make Movies program at LACMA: vimeo.com/194563966
I used to listen to Pastor Raul Ries on the radio back in the day when I was a teenager. I also listened to Pasto Chuck Smith , Pastor Greg Laurie, Charles Swindoll, The Two Nice Jewish Boys..I just had such a blast learning and listening to these radio shows. I will never forget...
I live in NYC and Used to get 3 tapes a week when I got saved back in 1985. I used his tapes and led my dad and some friends to the Lord! Then I eventually went into full time ministry but I learned everything from him to prepare me! Now with everything going on in the world 2022 I am glad to find him on youtube!
For the past 5 years I'd been praying for the Lord to give me a church (a home) to worship and to have fellowship, a place to be baptized in water in The Holy Spirit. During this time in waiting my church had consist of ( two or more gathered) with my bother's and sister's and In Touch Ministries on Sunday mornings. On June 22, 2019. I received my answer. Pastor Raul Ries was hosting his second annual "made new" baptism at Calvary Chapel Golden Springs the very next day. I signed up and by the grace and mercy of our Lord my oldest son registered an hour before this lovely event. It was amazing! Pastor Raul and his brother's in Christ baptized All some were baptized fully cloth. AMAZING! The church Jesus blessed me with will be blessed in GOLD. Thank you Pastor Raul Ries and Sharron, for your testimony this is the first time I saw it. Tears flowed and love surged while watching. Obedience to GOD, He will always choose what is the very best for you and me.
Raul Ries, was my Pastor since December 2001, after my Anger management in 2001. N left in 2009. To find out what God wanted me to do to save my deceased sister KiesiSince I missed her in 2009. Love you Kiesi.
I've lived the majority of my life as a selfish sinner, knowing that deep inside of me I was ashamed of who, & what I become, & felt the guilt for the things I've done in my life. Thinking I was a lost cause who just couldn't find the right path to walk, & when a childhood friend called me, & asked me to please listen to this man, & everything he's been through in his life, & Jesus changed his life. All it took was hearing one sermon from pastor Raul Ries, & my life hasn't been the same. He put the Bible, & jesus in perspective for me to understand, I've become a changed man because of hearing what this pastor said, & how he said it, & his words touched my heart so much. I began to cry so hard, that my life hast been the same since. I now put Jesus first over everything in my life. I want to thank this man, for for helping me to see the light, & how all things are possible through my God, Christ Jesus. THANK YOU PASTOR RIES !
Prayer for my son Marine veteran who served 2 tours in Afghanistan I prayed for him to not be injured or killed and God blessed him with safety. But we lost him, he is suffering, he was raised in the church and now is angry with his mother, siblings and God. This was a little boy who loved JESUS CHRIST so much please pray for him to return to his first love.
I am praying! I was also raised in the church and loved Jesus SO MUCH as a little child, but walked away for 20 years. THE LORD IS ABLE! The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, so PRESS FORWARD IN YOUR PRAYERS! Do not back down! I am praying for him!

Ps Raul, i havent cried for many years, i am sobbing after watching this. I have been in and out of Christianity for 40 years, my wilderness years. It was Exactly 40 years when God lead me on a path that would change me from atheist to a follower of God. This has been just over a year ago. At 56 i am a child of God, yet i drift, i find myself on the fence but i go back to God. You are my paster, my church. I pray my daughter will meet Jesus and give her life to him. I repect you and thank you. Be blessed always. Johannesburg, south africa 🇿🇦 ♥️
I came to o know the Lord, at Raul's Church, and when I heard his testimony that's when I realized that God wanted to save me because He loved me with an everlasting love. Thank you Raul your testimony is powerful and help me to bend my knees and I repent of my old life.
Hi Raul, Thank you for sharing this short story. It is awesome. I listened to Pastor Chuck every day for 25 years. At the same time I loved listening to your love for Jesus. May God Bless you even more than you can dream. With His Love, Larry
I remember you at Baldwin Park High School in 1973-4 preaching on the campus. I also remember the Karate demos which were impressive. I can't believe where time has gone...
I am blessed to see these videos. I was saved in 1980 at Raul's church in Covina. I remember his book, Fury to Freedom. Praying for Pastor Raul and his family. My sincere condolences 🙏🏾
I prayed that soul saving prayer with Raul 55 years ago at Fox Theater on Azusa. A lifetime has passed and I still love and respect him for his minestry and love of God. May God bless all of the people who helped me along the way find and teach my children and grandchildren the love of Christ. "i've got a river of life flowing out of me..."
I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for allowing me, leading me to hear this testimony. I thank God to bring me an opportunity to listen to Pastor Raul Reis radio broadcast on a daily basis.
we want to look forward in Christ Jesus, The LORD is my shepherd amen, . I was there, did that whole song and dance with a whole lot of other guys; until it removed me. God was merciful to me, a sinner sinning while serving, anyone joining to the service, don't sin, GOD will deal with that while your in service. Fear GOD.. when one is active, combat or other wise, learning to walk on water is most challenging... one second you think you have it covered and the next second bam.. it's how it goes down. We never really own the day, But for the grace of GOD go I. I'm still learning the word of GOD, more over the many many ways The Spirit of the LORD uses building blocks to create in us the a way to learn and understand HIS word / truths. It really came together for me this morning listing to the Pastor Ries morning service.. I haven't listen to the Pastor maybe over twenty years, I was pondering what to study up in, I picked so I thought, Colossians, blue letter bible Raul Ries, over the others I been follow with, Low band behold The Pastor was doing Colossians, It was amazing to hear the maturity of the same book done again so many years later by the same preacher of the word, Love. Mercy, Grace, Peace, one can hear in the spoken word by the Pastor, amen. Rock on Pastor.......... standing the rock amen. and yes, I have no idea what tomorrow is to be, GOD said today is enough to deal with, amen. GOD is Good...
I had a similar conversion one night in 1995, when my life came crushing down, when I threw my wife's bible on the floor, I was compelled to pick up the torn pages from the floor, one was from Malachi ,as I read it caused me to weep because it fully applied to us .Weeks later a real estate agent whom I just met invited me to CCGS business man's fellowship, that's where I met Pst. Dale and Raul Ries who became my first pastors and teachers. I served there for 20 yrs. In the somebody loves you crusades. "The gospel is the power of God unto salvation" 🙏
Heard your testimony for the first time on the radio today (Praise FM) through Focus on the Family. I know the lord meant me to hear it as I was delayed at church, and if it wasn't for that, I may have never heard your testimony. Thank you brother Raul! Praise be to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
thank you for sharing raul, you have always been my go to for sermons and teachings when i was going through all my depression. God really used you in many dark times in my life. i attend a calvary we started in my town. i served as an elder for a while even, God is amazing.
Powerful story! I have heard Pastors story many times but today brought chills down my spine… Thank you pastor for your service, sharing your testimony and your love for the lost ❤️🙏❤️
You are not trash Raul...I went thru what you did Raul but I turned inward and lost my confidence......Unresolved PAIN, turns to ANGER......I have your video on my Facebook page and a little of my own testimony.....You are a "HUMBLE LION" Raul.....my favorite kind of people...Jesus is the "ALPHA" Humble Lion.....best pride to be in !! Raul , please know that your testimony is greater than you think.....you have no idea how many men like me that you have helped by being completely open...ARRIBA !
I just want to say thank you for your service and sacrifice Hallelujah God is good Through all of your trials God has kept you and I just want to say salute glory be to the one true Risen King
God continue to bless you brother Raul. You have impacted so many people you do not know how many. When I lived in Southern California I would sometimes hear you on the radio and your messages would be fresh with conviction and stood out from other similar broadcasts. May the Lord use you more than ever and bless your family as well.
Hi, Ptr. Raul, i am johnny Sy from the Philippines. I hope you still can remember me. I am blessed listening and watching your life testimony. I believed you have shared your testimony to me when you were here in the 80’s. I thank God for knowing you and for your ministry.
Pastor Ries, you have a beautiful testimony: there are many hurting young people that turn to violence as a way of acting out, in Southern California my daughter works at the juvenile detention facilities, they allow churches to come in and hold church services for the kids
Every time I hear you the message you are preaching convicts me and makes me uncomfortable because I know in my heart it is true and that it shows me how much more I should be doing with the gift God has given me. Thank you for your ministry and reminding me how much I still need to grow in my faith.
Hi Pastor and Brother Ries. Thank you for sharing your life and testimony and thank you for Serving our Country in the Nam also. I use to listen to you on the road as an Interstate Tractor Trailer driver hauling Air Freight all over our Country to Airports. I was also into Martial Arts and Drafted in 1970. My thing was back~Then, refa and stuff. But once I excepted and received Forgiveness,Salvation, and a New~Life from Yeshua Jesus, God''s Son and Only Savior...my life has Never been the same ever~again, Praise His Holy and Mighty name Forever my brother,amen! Lov' ya' brother and continue the Great Work that you are doing in Ministry and with the Police also Buddy, yes, I Know...All~through Jesus the Christ of God Amen.Bye,Michael.
So delighted that I finally added your you tube channel & enjoyed the full passion week! I have for the past 3 years loved spending my lunch break listening to you in the radio. You captivate and awaken my spiritual being. Your testimony had me in tears, God is so good, thank you for sharing.❤️ Bless you and Sharon in your ministry.
Maybe I should throw myself upon the mercy of the church. I’ve got stories that would make your toes curl. I took me 20 years to claw my way outta hell.
Dear Pastor Raul, the testimony of the absolute transformation of your life is an inspiration to many. I thank God for your life, Sir! Thank you for sharing your testimony with the world so that the lost might be saved by the Grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and savior! God bless you, Pastor Raul Ries!

This is so great! I read Pastor Raul’s book years ago, then donated it to my library. I would love to read it again. I remember the incredible transformation, where he went from planning to kill his wife to an instant conversion to Jesus Christ. 40 years and still going strong!
Hey Mr rabbit, God loves and forgives. Talk to him don't be shy to look above the sky's and ask deeply with your true heart to him. Patience and true deep faith are the answers you'll notice around you
Mrz Rabbit don't give up. God loves you and so many that he gave his only son to the world and they tortured him. Well gives you an idea that no matter what the situation is in your life, Jesus Christ is by your side with our heavily father God above protecting you in a way u ou can't imagine

I got saved watching Raul on TV in the early 90's on his Manna for Today show.. Then a few weeks later a guy at work, out of the blue, gave me a Greg Laurie "new believer" trac. LOL, I had never even heard of Calvary Chapel at the time..
This man led me to Jesus in 1977! I have never been the same!!! God is so awesome, He gives new life to anyone who would call out to Him for salvation. My years have had alot of trials, and i do not live any longer in the town he pastors. But i learned the power of prayer, and Bible study from Raul and Sharon Ries, and I have had that foundation keep me focused even during the trials. I will forever be grateful for Pastor Raul and Sharons dedication and complete abandonment to live for Jesus, and even today with UA-cam available anyone can learn the Word of God through his teachings. Calvary Chapel Golden Springs is easily found online with a huge and complete library of the teachings in the Word from Genesis to Revelation! Check it out! Study Gods Word! Ask Jesus to save you...He is waiting for you! I am praying for you!
I am so overjoyed that his wife is with Jesus and someday Raul will see her again. It wouldn't be possible if the Holy Spirit didn't knock on the door of his heart. Praise God !
I have heard Raul's testimony hundreds of times. He was my pastor from 1975-80. He ordained me and sent me to Kansas to start a church. At a recent reunion, people that had been at my church in the 80's & 90's came and told me their lives had been impacted. I saw this today and say thank you Raul & Sharon for building a good foundation in Sue and I, it has kept us in Christ!
Awesome
Beautiful testimony! I am saved, but I said the prayer with Pastor Raul again, and with tears for the love I felt in my heart. Thank you Pastor Raul for sharing your testimony. I listened to you for years on my way to work. You impacted my life immensely❤

Semper Fi! I can relate to a lot of your story and testimony. Born into a broken home, my dad was a violent, alcoholic, womanizer, and bar room brawler. He used to take me to the bars also as a child and I would play video games while he drank, gambled, and had sex with the women there in the bathrooms...Nothing a child should see. I vowed to NEVER become like him but many years later, I was just like him...Ran with the gangs, got saved, starting taking martial arts (Tang Soo Do, Shotokan, and Kempo) joined the Marines by a miracle (drug, gang, criminal waivers) and then continued the cycle of my father...By the grace of God, I'm going to be graduating with my Bachelor's in Ministry next week and applying for my Masters in Divinity at APU or Life Pacific... God gets ALL the glory... OOHRAH! (I even did a short film with the Veteran's Make Movies program at LACMA: vimeo.com/194563966

Amazing! Thank you Lord for your Grace and Mercy.
Hearing your testimony, let's me know it's all worth it.
Brother we were cut from the same cloth.
I love you,
Thank you
Aaron
I love his testimony!
Every time I hear you the message you are preaching convicts me and makes me uncomfortable because I know in my heart it is true and that it shows me how much more I should be doing with the gift God has given me. Thank you for your ministry and reminding me how much I still need to grow in my faith.

This is so great! I read Pastor Raul’s book years ago, then donated it to my library. I would love to read it again. I remember the incredible transformation, where he went from planning to kill his wife to an instant conversion to Jesus Christ. 40 years and still going strong!
Thank you I used to listen to your Bible studies in the 90's nice to meet you
Thanks for listening
Amazing..
Thank you..
Beautiful man. God is merciful.
Wow. God Bless you Sir

Your speaking Gods truth , and your humility lead me so close to Jesus!
Awesome testimony praise the lord...I need help
Hey Mr rabbit, God loves and forgives. Talk to him don't be shy to look above the sky's and ask deeply with your true heart to him. Patience and true deep faith are the answers you'll notice around you
Mrz Rabbit don't give up. God loves you and so many that he gave his only son to the world and they tortured him. Well gives you an idea that no matter what the situation is in your life, Jesus Christ is by your side with our heavily father God above protecting you in a way u ou can't imagine
thank you I wont
God bless you pastor ..

I was saved in the summer of 1985. I read "Mere Christianity", and it literally scared the hell out of me.
I got saved watching Raul on TV in the early 90's on his Manna for Today show.. Then a few weeks later a guy at work, out of the blue, gave me a Greg Laurie "new believer" trac. LOL, I had never even heard of Calvary Chapel at the time..
God bless you! JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
I just saw his movie on tv man that was beautiful.
Praise and glory to God!
That was awesome 🙏🏼✌🏼
What a testimony of God's grace in this man's life!
I love this guy. Grieved by the way the sinner's prayer at the end was handled though.
This man led me to Jesus in 1977! I have never been the same!!! God is so awesome, He gives new life to anyone who would call out to Him for salvation. My years have had alot of trials, and i do not live any longer in the town he pastors. But i learned the power of prayer, and Bible study from Raul and Sharon Ries, and I have had that foundation keep me focused even during the trials. I will forever be grateful for Pastor Raul and Sharons dedication and complete abandonment to live for Jesus, and even today with UA-cam available anyone can learn the Word of God through his teachings. Calvary Chapel Golden Springs is easily found online with a huge and complete library of the teachings in the Word from Genesis to Revelation! Check it out! Study Gods Word! Ask Jesus to save you...He is waiting for you! I am praying for you!
I am so overjoyed that his wife is with Jesus and someday Raul will see her again. It wouldn't be possible if the Holy Spirit didn't knock on the door of his heart. Praise God !
I would listen to him on the radio as a young believer. I saw where his wife passed away earlier this month. Condolences.
When exactly did his wife passed away? I didn't know. 😢
