Sharing the Hope of Jesus...
Through Preaching
In Mark 16:15, Jesus said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation (NIV).
For over four decades, Craig and LaDonna Smith have taken this commission seriously and have faithfully preached the good news of the gospel. The Smiths have a deep passion to communicate biblical truths in multi-cultural settings. Their passion to bring Christ’s message to indigenous people has led them across North America and beyond.
Since 2009, Craig’s preaching ministry has been deepened by his journey into deep pain and suffering in his life-altering auto accident that almost claimed his life. His journey through death’s door - only to be revived and recover to the point where he can preach God’s Word again, has truly deepened the impact of God’s Word to his audiences.
The story of the Smiths journey into their school of suffering has been recorded in both audio and DVD formats, as well as in their book, Miracle at Mile Marker 313. Be sure to visit the TRM store and order your own personal copies of these timely and helpful reflections on the issue of God and suffering.
Through Music
Ephesians 5:19 says, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord (NIV)
Craig and LaDonna Smith have been making music from their hearts to the Lord since they started TRM. Music has always been an integral part of their ministry. It goes back several generations when Craig’s grandparents, his father, Ray, and sister, Barb, formed the original Smith Family Quartet. They ministered in churches and at conferences, and among their Ojibwe people at wild rice, hunting, and fishing camps, sharing the gospel message in word and song.
Craig and LaDonna understand not only the influence of music, but the importance of their music be centered clearly within biblical truth. Their season of suffering has also seasoned their music and worship in song.
The Smiths have gone deeper into truth and substance with their music in the same way they have done so with their preaching and teaching materials. It comes out clearly in the songs they sing and in the worship they lead in their TRM ministry events.
He placed me in a little cage
Away from gardens fair;
But I must sing the sweetest song
Because He placed me there.
Not beat my wings against the cage
If it is my Maker’s will;
But lift my voice towards heaven’s gate
And sing the louder still...
