ZACHARY SMITH

In the past year, you all have proved that you are great prayer warriors! I would like to introduce you to Zachary Smith.Zac grew up in Ecuador with his missionary parents, Jim and Sharon Smith. This past year, at age 32, Zac was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, which has metastasized to his liver and spleen. He is married and the father of 3 young children. He is in need of prayer.

I do not know Zac personally, but have a connection because of being fellow missionaries with his parents and having his grandfather, Carl Boonstra, as our missions director for a time. I told Zac, we have friends all over the world that prayed for Gary and would pray for him!

The church Zac attends recently did some videos with their youth department, and asked Zac to do one. The message that Zac shares is not just for young people, but for all of us. You can also go to his website www.zacsmith.com Please take the time to watch and remember to pray for him! Thanks!

  1. I will be praying for Zach and his family. The video was very touching and a strong reminder of our limited time on earth.
