Jasper James Ray was born in Montana. In 1920, he was the manager of a dry goods store in New Plymouth, Idaho, but by 1930, he is listed in the census as a Secretary of Home Missions. The Oregon Exchange (Newspaper Directory), Volumes 5-6 lists Ray as an owner, with Thomas Nelson, of the Junction City weekly Times in December 1922. (Nelson was Ray's father-in-law.) In 1934, living in Junction City, Oregon, he is listed as a missionary in the Eugene City Directory. In 1936, he became the new missionary for the American Sunday School Union in the Lane Field (Lane County and vicinity). He apparently was already with the ASSU before then, and he remained with them at least into the early 1960s. He preached and did Sunday School work in many different denominations – Baptist, Bible Churches, Christian & Missionary Alliance.

J. J. Ray published God Wrote Only One Bible in 1955.
