The Lord called my wife, René, and me to a full-time ministry; and for a number of  years my family and I have been living by faith, going and doing as the Spirit of God leads. In 2007, the Lord led us to move to the Springfield, MO area to pastor a congregation there. Lord willing, we will continue the mission work in conjunction with the other responsibilities of the local congregation.

Following the leadings of the Lord, I have made visits to Africa almost every year since 1996. Due to physical problems, I haven't been able to travel to Africa for the past 3 three years. Although I have not stayed for more than two months at the longest, I have seen that the fields are still white and ready to harvest. I was burdened to create this web site so that other people could be informed about some of the current Church of God missionary efforts in Africa of which I have first-hand knowledge and experience.

The missionary efforts described and depicted in this web site were made  in the interest of the Church of God for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God.  There are many beliefs and theologies in the world today; but there is only one way, one truth, and one life. This is found in Jesus Christ and, in turn, in His one and only body--the Church of God. God desires that all the saved be united in the fellowship of His spirit and cast off the yoke of Babel bondage. God's people are to be a separate people from the world and from religious confusion -- living holy, blameless lives. Jesus is coming back for one, pure church.  (click here for Church of God Doctrines)

If you are moved by the Spirit by what you read on this site and are interested in knowing further about the doctrines that we teach and practice, feel free to contact me. As the Sprit of the Lord leads, I would be willing to come and hold a meeting in your congregation -- regardless of history and denomination.

Please pray that God would bless every effort in the furtherance of His kingdom. May this web site be a blessing to each viewer in Jesus name.

In His Service  --Brother Michael Smith
