The old man always sat in front of the five-and-dime, begging nickels, dimes & quarters from those who passed his way. The folks who saw him weren't sure how he got there most mornings because he didn't seem to have a soul who cared.
Saturday was the day the boy got to come downtown with a few friends and watch a black & white movie at the movie house on Main Street in Jackson, TN
The old man was ridiculed by most of the kids because he was so pitiful. "Hey Boy" the old man yelled on that first Saturday encounter. It scared the boy half to death. Because he knew the old man was talking to him.
Ivan Raley passed through small towns in Tennessee, South Carolina and the mission fields of Venezuela, Mexico, Belize and Africa on his journey to the ends of the earth. Ivan says he is forever on his way to the ends of the earth and his stories simply reflect that journey.
The story of how the old man picked Ivan out of a crowd is just one of hundreds that have unfolded on his journey; but perhaps none is more powerful, especially the way he tells it.
When you are able to communicate a story as powerfully as "the boy" can, people like me wonder how in the world he does it. The preacher boy is now Dr. Ivan N. Raley. On his way to the ends of the earth there have been several stints of overseas missionary duty to some of the poorest people on the face of the earth, and for the last 65 years he has been able to do the job he loves best: pastor a church. The stories are warmly & wonderfully woven into the sermons he shares. 1
Read more about the old man and what he wanted from the boy; and many more stories from Dr. Raley on his journey to the ends of the earth.
1 excerpt taken from Bob Hurley article in the Greenville Sun, October, 1997.
It was a Friday morning in August 1953 when I knelt at the front on the sawdust floor at the open chapel at Camp Linden. I said to God in front of my friend and mentor, Jim Allen, "I will do whatever you want me to do, go through any door, and be whatever you want me to be." Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would spend my life in His service; serve as Vice President of the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home for 12 years; and as an old man, continue to pastor & preach (as I have for the last 65 years) and love each moment of the journey.
After completing my education in the public schools of Jackson and Union University, I entered the United States Navy and spent my first two years in school at San Diego. While serving in the Navy I also served as Associate Pastor of the Balboa Park Baptist Church.
Only God could open the doors that would lead me to be a guest of the congressional speaker at the National Day of Prayer in the Cannon Office Building in our nation's capital. And to be a guest Chaplain at the United States House of Representatives; as well as opening the session with prayer and spend time with two different Speakers of The House.
After completing my service in the Navy a church in Tennessee called me as their pastor and I returned to the Volunteer state, the place I have called home for the remainder of my life. I was privileged to pastor five churches in Tennessee with at least one in each grand division.
I was also called to serve in disaster relief programs in the United States; in Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala and Belize.
In 1994 I spent five months with the Southern Baptist Mission Board in Belize; and in the summer of '94 I was assigned to the countries of Rwanda and The Congo during the Civil war in Rwanda.
It was in 1994 that Carole and I joined our blended families. We were called to Brentwood where I served as Vice President of the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home.
Following the disaster of 9/11 in 2001, I was called to serve as a relief Chaplin for the Fire Dept. of New York City an experience which marked me forever.
My first book, "Just a Moment" had totaled what I thought was the sum of "an old life". Yet God continues to bless and care for me. My wife and our blended family have added joy and length to my years.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.
Isaiah 61:1

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
