ENDORSEMENTS
Pastor Matt Heins
State President - ACC Victoria.
Senior Pastor Faith Church.
"I am pleased to endorse Ps Mike Smith - a man with several decades of fruitful pastoral and evangelism experience. For much of the past 30 years, he pastored a strong ACC church in Melbourne's South-East, and in addition served our movement in a variety of regional leadership capacities. He is a passionate preacher, and is known to be someone who practices what he preaches when it comes to his personal witness and leading people to the Lord. Having transitioned the church leadership, and moved into an itinerant ministry called 'Every Believer Can', I am confident that his teaching resources and ministry will be a blessing to your church."
Pastor John Wedrat
Senior Pastor of Generations Church Cairns
"Mike Smith has a very authentic and fruitful record as a personal Evangelist. His teaching is filled with stories of both unique and inspiring outcomes of sharing Jesus in many and varied relationships and connections. We were greatly encouraged and refreshed in our aspirations to share Jesus effectively in our community."
Pastor Peter Holmes
Senior Pastor of Burdekin Community Church Ayr
“Mike Smith is an experienced Pastor who has ministered for us a number of times in the last year. He is passionate about seeing the local church equipped to fulfil its mission of making disciples. He has produced a great short course called Every Believer Can. We ran it in our Church and it gave people some great tools along with the confidence to share Jesus with others."
Pastor Graham Shand
Executive Member - ACC Victoria.
Senior Pastor Aspire Church.
"We have so appreciated having Ps Mike Smith come to introduce the Every Believer Can program to Aspire Church. His initial presentation in our Sunday morning services was brilliant and believable! The accompanying resources - videos and participant manuals have assisted those attending home / Life Groups to turn theory into practice. They have grown in confidence, and coupled with practical assignments are now much more active in sharing their faith. The combination of Ps Mike’s inspiration and the accompanying resources make this an excellent program for mobilising the local church in reaching the lost.”
Dr. Angelo Cettolin
Vice Principal Eastern College Australia.
“This course is a real blessing to our church and has increased people’s confidence to share their faith in a relatable, relevant yet biblically sound way. Ps Mike Smith’s enthusiasm as an evangelistic speaker and contemporary communicator is infectious! We can thoroughly recommend this ministry for local churches that are serious about empowering people to reach others with good news about Jesus Christ.”
Reverend Wayne Walters
Vicar of Christ Church Dingley.
“Mike Smith is an enthusiastic and inspirational witness to the reality of Christian faith. His own testimony is powerful and his lifestyle of engaging and effective witness to Christ backs up the message and model he presents in the ‘Every Believer Can’ teaching series. Having known Mike for 13 years as a fellow pastor and seen the fruit of his life and message, I warmly endorse his ministry and vision to equip the whole Body of Christ to fulfil the Great Commission.”
Pastor Dan Parker
VIC/TAS Chairman - CRC Churches.
Senior Pastor Kingston City Church.
"I endorse Ps Mike Smith’s evangelistic ministry and his ‘Every Believer Can’ course. We had Mike come and minster at our church and launch EBC and it was an outstanding service. We had many people respond to the call and six genuine first-time decisions on that morning. We then put the EBC course through our Link Groups to train our people in personal evangelism. It is a great tool to inspire evangelism and people the basic skills to share the Gospel. I encourage any church leader to have Mike come and stir and motivate your people to reach out and make the main thing—the main thing!”
Pastor/Evangelist Don McDonell
Senior Pastor Inspire Church.
“Mike is a highly inspirational speaker and his Every Believer Can Training Course has helped to empower a witnessing culture in many churches. I highly recommend Pastor Mike’s Every Believer Can evangelistic ministry.”
Pastor Matt Coleing
ACC Regional Leader - Far Northern Region (QLD)
Senior Pastor of Alive Community Church
“Mike Smith recently shared with us at our regional ACCFNQ meeting. His focus on Evangelism and his EBC program was refreshing and well recieved. The churches in our region who have engaged Mike have seen great results. I highly recommend."
Pastor Adem Xhafer
Senior Pastor of Royals Church Cairns
"I was first exposed to Mike Smith's ministry late last year at an ACC Far North Queensland Regional meeting. I myself am an evangelist who has effectively preached very large crusades around the world, but was struggling to equip my own church. When I heard Mike's message, I believe I heard the Holy Spirit say, "This is what is missing" in the church. I immediately planned for Mike's teaching in our church in early 2023. It has been such a blessing to download his teaching to our two campuses."
Pastor Rob Santostefano
Vice President - ACC South Australia.
Senior Pastor One Heart Church.
“It is with total confidence I endorse Ps Mike Smith. I have had Mike minister at One Heart Church and would recommend him as a passionate and effective evangelist. Along with his many years of practical pastoral experience he brings a clear message of hope. Mikes ministry has reinvigorated the church to reach the lost. I have also used many of Mikes study booklets and would recommend his book and study guide as a valuable resource for evangelism.”
Pastor Ian Kruithoff
Church Growth Director - ACC Victoria.
“I have known Michael Smith as a successful Church Planter, Senior Minister, and ACC Regional Leader for many years. Now that he has transitioned his Church to a younger generation he has turned his considerable energy and focus to his passion for reaching unsaved people. To this end he has developed a strategy and excellent associated training material to help local Churches mobilise their people to witness to their friends and associates. I commend him to you as someone who can be an effective resource to you as he is to many Churches already.”
