Introducing Justin and Jeimmy Smith

Becky and I are very excited to introduce Justin and Jeimmy Smith to you.  We have had the privilege of serving for two weeks with the Smiths about a year ago.  Very quickly after we met them, they shared their interest in missions.  We were very excited when they shared their desire to pursue full time ministry with us in the Dominican Republic.  Please join us and keep the Smiths in your prayers.  They are in the process of building their support base. 


Justin, Jeimmy, Anthony (4), and Gabriella (3) Smith


Justin grew up in Aurora, IL.  He attended Moody Bible Institute where he received my B.A. in Evangelism Discipleship from the Department of World Mission. After graduating from Moody he met his wife, Jeimmy, on a missions trip to Colombia. Since Jeimmy is Columbian, they had a long distance relationship.  They were married in 2009 and now have two beautiful children, ages two and four.  Both Justin and Jeimmy are currently serving at their home church, Village Baptist Church. Justin serves as a deacon, teacher, fill-in preacher, community group leader, and in outreach ministries. Jeimmy serves as a translator, women's outreach leader, worship coordinator, and in compassion ministry. 


The Smiths have served in their home church for many years but have always felt God leading them into foreign missions and full-time ministry. In 2013, they took a three month missions trip to Colombia and served at a foundation called Colombia Chiquita. In 2014, they went on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic and served with us (the Mackeys). After serving with us for two weeks we invited them to partner with us in sharing the gospel, making disciples, and planting churches. The Smiths spent time seeking the Lord’s will and through much counsel, accepted this invitation to serve in the Dominican Republic. We are excited to see what God is going to do!


Remember the Smiths and pray:  
1.) For 100% support to come in
2.) A smooth transition from country to country
3.) Courage, patience, and grace through this time of support raising

"Jesus Is The Savior, And One True God!"
