THE TEAM
Tierra Ray
President
Whoever thought a soul would be won at the checkout register of Sam’s Club?
Tierra Ray never imagined that soul would be hers. In 2012 while attending an evangelism training school, she made the decision to give her life fully to Christ. Though the journey hasn’t been “perfect”, she has been on fire for the Lord ever since, and has a strong passion to be a co-laborer with Christ for the rest of her life. As Jesus’s Ministry was to teach, heal, and preach the gospel, in 2013, Tierra attended a medical missionary training school, TEKOA Missions to further her study of the gospel, and natural healing remedies, while strengthening her relationship with Christ. Tierra loves the Lord with all her heart and she strives to learn how she can best please Him, while finishing the work that He has called her to do. In answering this call, Tierra has partnered with organizations to create community outreach events in both, Lake and Marion County, Florida.
​
With a background in Early Childhood Education, as well as currently being a Registered Behavior Technician, Tierra has a passion for the young people. Through her experience, she has learned, in order to effectively reach the emotional, economical, and spiritual struggles that the youth may face, the parents/families must also be reached, as education truly begins at home.
​
Tierra believes in raising awareness to what may be challenging topics, but a reality while also connecting the community to local resources. Hence, the birth of Bow in the Cloud Community Services.
​
She feels humble and blessed for the opportunity to work alongside such amazing people to serve her community.
