Ray Schellinger is a Global Servant with International Ministries of the American Baptist Churches, serving now as the Global Consultant for Refugees, Immigrants and Displaced people. In that role he coordinates with partner organizations and IM colleagues around the world to provide shelter, trauma care, legal support and other resources for some of our world's most marginalized people. Along with his wife, Rev. Dr. Adalia Gutierrez Lee, they had worked from 2001 to 2015 with Deborah's House, a ministry for victims of Domestic Violence in Tijuana, Mexico, and from 1995 to 2000 with primary health care and community development in Nicaragua.

Ray, a graduate of the University of Maryland (BA, Economics) and Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv), is originally from the Washington, DC area. After many years outside the US, he and Adalia are now adapting to life in Norristown, PA. Their proudest contributions to this world are their two adult children, Michelle and Melissa, who are both, in their own unique ways, investing their whole hearts into bringing healing and restoration to their fellow human beings and to the planet we all share.
