TELL HIM WITH YOUR HEART is my meager attempt to share some of our incredible, miraculous moments along life's journey. It is a living testimony that all things do really work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. My special wife appears on the cover. She is a full-blooded American Indian from the Iroquois tribe. Both her father and grandfather were chiefs, and her great uncle posed for the famed American Buffalo Nickel and appeared in over 60 movies. As you partake in our journey, be inspired by the many miracles and stories that unfold with the turn of each page. Some may find it hard to believe some of the stories you will encounter within each delicate chapter, but the fact is that this is only a small glimpse of our miraculous journey and there are many more volumes that could be written. I am convinced that there is a time, season, and purpose for all things that the Creator of all things may be glorified. As you ride the morning winds of our unbelievable journey, my heart will be holding hands with you. Be blessed and inspired. Raymond Fike
My qualifications are subject to the fact that everything that I have ever done that has any merit to it at all is not me, but Christ who dwells within me. At the age of 12, I started writing music and poetry. I have written over 200 songs. I have written several books on poetry and was blessed to work with many grammy and dove award winning artists throughout the world. My wife and I spent some quality time with the late Ricky Nelson and he asked me to consider writing for him. My experience in management is vast as I was an instructor in the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as, an Air Traffic Controller in the Boston, Chicago, and New York area. I was assistant Vice President for a resort development company in Hawaii. I was Sales manager for a concrete company, Sales manager for a water well drilling company, Sales manager for a commercial sign company, Sales manager for a New England radio station, licensed in radio broadcasting. In radio, I also worked in the capacity of commercial writer, public relations director, concert promoter, full-time radio DJ, fundraiser specialist, and music director. I managed my own concert promotion company and worked as a consultant with several others. I was truly blessed as a concert promoter to work with such artists as Twila Paris, Sandi Patty, Scott Wesley Brown, Bob Thompson, Maranatha singers like Kelly Willard, Paul & Rita Baloche, and Michelle Pillar, Wayne Watson, Kathy Trocolli, Kim Boyce, Ian & Annie, Phil Driscol, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Dallas Holm, Mike Adkins, and many others.I worked as concert promoter and public relations director for several churches. My wife and I were both ordained and licensed as ministers in the early 1990's. I have more than 125 management course certificates in property management. My wife and I have worked together in management at a Children's home, managed several condominiums together, and ministered in many churches. I now enjoy the love of my life (my wife), writing, arranging, and producing music, speaking and sharing the love and miracle power of Jesus. We pray that you will seek to touch the hem of His garment and bring glory to His name.
