Hello, my name is Josiah Smith.

I was born in Ohio, but raised in a small town named Royse City, Texas. I was raised in the church, but didn't steward my relationship with Christ until I was about 16 years old, partially because I didn't know how to steward a relationship with my creator. Since I found Christ, I have always enjoyed spreading the love of Jesus to my peers and to those who haven't heard the name of Jesus. From sharing an encouraging message and testimony on stage at my youth group, to leading a Bible study that grew to almost 30 people, I have always felt called to leadership and am simply trying to figure out which area that might be in.

My heart goes out to lukewarm Christianity, as well as those who have been deceived by not knowing the truth. This is mainly because I was once in a season when I wanted both the world and Christ. However, the Bible is clear to not serve 2 masters.

I am currently working a job at a local restaurant in downtown Rockwall. The Lord has been faithful to provide, and I couldn't be more grateful for what He's done for me so far. I can't do this without the help of the Holy Spirit, so I am first asking for prayer and petition on my behalf that the Lord would use me to reach the lost. So many people who won't enter the kingdom in heaven, and if I can help a small percentage, I would be most joyous.

I personally have never been the best at fundraising. However, a friend once told me, "Fundraising is simply partnering in the great commission with people who are unable to go." To put it plainly, that changed my perspective.

So, I am asking that you would pray for the heart to give, and partner with me as I go out into the nations.

Josiah
