Guest Pastors

Tim Smith currently works as a full-time Evangelist and is known as an inspirational speaker. He was an example of living Jesus' everywhere you go-publicly and privately. Also, he loves to share, reach, preach and teach about the word of truth in the Bible with an obedient disciple at anywhere and anytime where he plants and leads the Bible studies in three cities in Texas. He is always ready to preach God's Word without fear or zeal. He is a dynamic man of action who gave his whole life to evangelizing; spreading the Gospel of Christ. His love for the Lord and his strong desire for all to know Him is very clearly realized. It begins with a spiritual gift, which leads to lives transformed by following, obeying and listening to His instructions in the Bible. Tim sees only one thing... people who need Jesus. He has been happily married to Tonya since 1992 and they have three wonderful children. They live in Texas.
