Ministry
Bishop Smith began preaching at the age of 7 years old. His mother preserved this gifted passionate assignment of God until the age of 13, allowing him to only preach at home. At age 13, Smith preached publicly in a school play, which initiated uproar in the area. Following the event, in wisdom, his mother turned down offers and invitations for him to go forth in ministry. Pastor Smith confessed to being called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, by hearing the audible voice of God, at the age of 17 years old. He began teaching Sunday school on the pre-school level at age 19. He preached his initial public sermon in 2006, after three years of Ministerial training. Minister Smith was licensed to preach the gospel in 2007.
