Hello friends!
All is well in Wisconsin. We got in last night from the first night of the Chicago Faith Conference and it was really great. We can feel the Word at work in our hearts and lives and can feel the shift that God is accomplishing in our region right now! We got 3 hours of preaching last night and it felt like an hour! We are heading back tomorrow morning at 4am so that we can be a part of the ministry workshops there Tuesday and Wednesday.
As always, there is much going on on our end. One of the churches that we are Pastoring is close to revival. The people have changed dramatically in the last year and a half, new folks are coming on a regular basis and the power of God increases every single week. That, by the way, is a genuine statement about what is happening. Every single week the power of God grows and the people are hungering for the Word and for consecration. There are services where the people all just sit quietly in the presence of God after everything is over, not wanting to leave. Many times we have wondered why we are in Southwestern Wisconsin. But revival at times takes time, real time and now we are starting to see exciting fruit. We have families that drive an hour and a half several times a week for services and we know that this region is about to get seriously and irrevocably impacted for the Gospel. Praise God that we have been sent to the hard places because the rewards are that much sweeter!
The people are genuinely hungering for consecration in their lives and families. No room for “Jesus as a hobby” here! And as you know, consecration brings visitation. Could we see a genuine revival in someplace like Wisconsin? With man it is impossible but not with God, for with God ALL things are possible.
If you aren’t getting the weekly CD’s, you really need to get them.
We are heading for Kenya and Uganda in November. We should be getting our tickets this week on the 15th. We have more dates there than days, praise God.
So far it looks like we will land in Kenya on November 15th. After that, we are heading to Uganda for more crusades and Pastors conferences with an Apostle named Moses… Moses must be a popular name in West Africa! God is calling us to go to Africa with a strong word and the Gift of Healing that operates in this ministry. The need there is great and we will be busy from the time we arrive until we depart December 2nd.
So keep us in prayer, will you? Even better, why not ask the Spirit about helping to send us there in your stead. How wonderful would it be to stand before God and get credit for saving souls in area that you have never visited? This is GOOD ground friends, and a powerful work of the Holy spirit is about to explode in AFRICA!
All gifts are tax-deductible and checks can be sent to:

We will be vlogging the trip with several cameras and expect to release a documentary to partners after we return so that you will be able to see first hand the wonderful works of God in Africa!
Also we will be holding another conference October 2-4 at Unbridled Faith Farm. This one is called the “I Am, I Can, I Will, I Do Revival” after a sermon of mine with the same name. So come and camp there for a few days and get spoon-fed the Word of God! The last Camp we held was so powerful and we know that this one, like the previous one, will see the anointing and presence and power of God change every single life and break every single stronghold of the enemy. Meetings will start Friday night and continue on through Sunday. You do not want to miss this!
This is the year of VICTORY THROUGH FAITH!
God bless all of you,
James and Shana Smith and the children, Zoe, Morgan, Tyrone, Che and Molly
