Marie
Smith is a wife, mother of two grown children,
grandmother, teacher, missionary, co-founder of
Feed
My Lambs Ministries, and founder/ Director
of Women of the Light, an
outreach to all women. Her vision is to
reach the women of all nations with the message
of the Father’s love. She presently resides
in Rotonda, Florida.
Marie
and her husband, Randy, have moved and lived all
over the country and ministered in different areas
and nations over their thirty six years of marriage.
In June of 2002
they had a Macedonian type of calling to West
Virginia. One month after settling into their
new hometown of Elkins, Marie had a sweet experience
with the Lord. She knew then He was asking her
to gather women to worship the Lord and
to pray as He led. At the first meeting,
held in her small townhouse living room, she met
with three other women. They, welcomed the Presence
of the Holy Spirit, and watched the Lord
begin to unfold to her one of the reasons for
the call to West Virginia.
Within the first
year of the ministry, there was a need for a larger
facility to accommodate the number of women who
were hungry for the Presence of God.
A miraculous provision of a local community room
suddenly supplied ample room for monthly
worship and prayer meetings and for the start
of Biblical training and equipping courses,
and Pastoral Care training for personal prayer
ministry.
Marie has encountered
the Father Heart of God in such
a way that she is compelled to create an atmosphere
for others to experience His great love. She honors
His presence in every meeting. The Holy Spirit's
tangible presence blankets the women as they worship
and soak in the river of His love. In this environment
they are noticibly changed.
No
two meetings are alike. Women of the
Light branch leaders model and lead by example
the art of waiting upon the Lord to come and to
have His Way! Many women have testified to experiencing
intimacy with the Lord in ways they had never
known was possible. The tangible presence of the
Lord comes to heal, deliver and comfort.
It is all about HIM! To God be
the Glory.
