Ray Sturdivant is the president and founder of Mining the Truth, established in 2009 is an ordained pastor, teacher, prayer minister and certified trainer with Prophetic Company. He trains and equips others in prophetic healing, prophecy and end times understanding. He has been following Jesus since 1983 with the last 12 years being the most intense and productive of his life. It is during that time that he had an encounter with Holy Spirit that radically changed the trajectory of his life. Freedom prayer is a direct result of this fruitful time. Thousands of people living lives of spiritual freedom, deeply connected to Jesus has been the result. Ray serves as board member of Christ’s Reward and serves and equips at Upper Room Dallas.

Chrysty Sturdivant spent over 40 years as an Occupational Therapist in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Her role as a neonatal therapist taught her how to connect the smallest of humans with their mothers and fathers. In the NICU, she caught the compassion of Jesus for the little children and witnessed many miracles as she prayed for the most vulnerable of babies. Her Jesus inspired compassion for children and their families has translated into an amazing anointing in leading children 12 years old and younger into spiritual freedom through intimate connection with Jesus. After all it is Jesus who tells us to bring the little children to Him so that He can bless them and heal them. Chrysty believes it is the call of all parents to partner with Jesus in leading their families. Chrysty is married to Ray Sturdivant and they have three children and eight grandchildren.
