Pastor Benjamin Smith I´ll never forget the day I was born again March 11,1979. Thank you for that word on that day! I´ve had trials but I´m holding on to God! I´m looking at all your messages as I write! I´ve been up all night watching your messages on YouTube! I missed so much during a long hiatus, but thank God for technology! I´ll never forget you for sound teaching! I saw a miracle at the altar 1989 you preached "The Continued Life"! The lady was told she would never walk. Something with her spine. You prayed with her and the lady jump all over with joy in the Spirit! I´m a miracle and God kept me in this season! I just want to be a daughter in the Kingdom! I desire to continue telling the Gospel! Thank you for your obedience to God! Rest well sir!

Pastor Smith was the kind of man you would want to live forever on earth. I was saddened to hear of his passing and will miss him. I will always treasure the close times with him in Blue Mountain where we could talk with him and joke with him. He will truly be missed!

In the days to come your heaviness will fade away but the loving memories will linger on. Find joy in knowing that any day we will see him again.
To be under his pastorate was a blessing. I thank the Lord for lending Pastor Smith to us.

Our heartfelt condolences are extended to you. Pastor Smith was truly a man of God and we will miss him dearly. He ALWAYS lifted up the name of Jesus! His exemplary lifestyle of holiness has left a tremendous impact on our lives. The foundation that he laid in us cannot be destroyed for it is founded on a Rock and that Rock is Jesus. Pastor Smith will never be forgotten and we love him dearly. Now, may the "peace" of God which surpasses ALL understanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Humbly submitted,

I grew up with Pastor on 17th street, and it is because of his teaching and adherence to strict Biblical teaching that I am now very grounded in the Word and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He was Dad, and was very hard on us. But that very strength of purpose and determination has driven me closer to God in every way. He will never be forgotten as long as I carry the Word of God that dad taught me.
Dear Family, you remain in my prayers.

To The Smith Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this time. I thank God for Pastor's life and how he stressed livng a "holy" life. His ministry was unique. He taught us how to search the scriptures for ourselves and how to study the scriptures. Pastor has now been promoted from labor to rest. He will surely be missed but his legacy will most definitely continue.
Please stay encouraged and may God continue to strengthen you.
Yours in Christ,
