The Prayer Warrior

 

Bishop Smith’s first love of ministry is prayer. From the beginning of his ministerial training and development, he was attracted to the fragrance of prayer. His inquisitive mind and heart for spending time with God birthed a burden and thirst for prayer that has become Bishop’s lifeline. Prayer is by far Bishop’s passion and that fire burns deeply within. He is on a mission to have the body of Christ catch hold to this same flame that drives and consumes his heart.

Coupled with Bishop’s love and passion for prayer is his ability to hear the voice of God. Keenly in tune with the Spirit of God, Bishop is a prophetic voice that speaks with great accuracy, which is grounded in great caution.

With the greatest of humility, Bishop is honored to serve the Kingdom as a voice that declares and reveals the mind of God.
