MEET MARY SMIT My name is Mary Smit, and I am a Professional Makeup Artist, Costume Designer, Production Designer, Actress, Mother of five beautiful children, and GiGi to one awesome little girl. But most of all, I am a Missionary. I always felt strongly about mission work. Desiring first that my family would come to know Jesus personally, I also had a strong desire to share Jesus with others. I felt called in my early twenties to be a Missionary, but my husband did not feel called. This left me confused. I questioned God about how all of that worked. Did I hear Him incorrectly? What was I missing? I struggled with this for years, often going on short-term mission trips or participating in local outreach. We ended up moving back to my home state of Alabama in 2012, and I was about to leave for a couple of months for work. I told my pastor about it, and He said, “Godspeed Missionary!” I said, “Wait, what did you say?” He said, “Well, that is what you are, isn’t it? Sharing the gospel through film?” I was stunned. He had no idea of my calling or my struggle to figure it out. Here I had been trying to reason out something that God already had planned for me. I WAS fulfilling my calling! Since that moment, projects have become richer to me, and God has graciously allowed me to see fruit 78
from my efforts. I am called to be a Missionary. But guess what? So are you! (Matt 28:19-20) We are called to share the gospel. One of the simplest ways to share the gospel is through Voice of Truth magazine. What a blessing it is to tell women I encounter in my workplace, grocery store, favorite coffee shop, etc., who are struggling and longing for sisterhood about this wonderful magazine. It is so easy to share! If the magazine has blessed you in any way (and I am sure it has), I encourage you to do the same. I also encourage you to invite your friends (and those to whom you witness) to become part of Women World Leaders by joining the Facebook Group and visiting www. womenworldleaders.com. Technology has made it so easy to share the gospel around the world. Praise God for giving the vision, resources, and opportunity for each of us to be the hands and feet of Christ! Praise Him! Blessings to you all!
