Sunday Evening June 14th we had Dr. Tim and Maryl Smith in to minister here in Castle Rock at Cowlitz Valley Christian Center. We were so impressed with the way Tim worked with our worship team and how he brought out a little "extra" from each one of them. We had an AWESOME night of worship and also Dr. Tim helped the Church understand why we do what we do in worship and why worship is such an important part of both our personal lives and our Church's life.  We are looking forward to having Dr. Tim and Maryl come back to our Church and work with our worship team on a Saturday and help them in the "Prophetic" aspect of leading worship and then on that Sunday watch it all take shape.

Pastor Rick Greene, Cowlitz Valley Christian Center, Castle Rock, WA 

Tim and Maryl came to minister to us, and I found myself wishing they could be here for a week instead of a day.  They were able to help impart so much passion and refresh our church's vision for true worship!  Their experience in following the Spirit was evident from the beginning of the first seminar to the close of the last service, and I appreciated their wisdom in not only speaking into the areas we had seen need, but also effectively ministering into the insight the Spirit provided.  I was encouraged by their desire and impressed by their ability to mentor and provide tools for God's children to sincerely express their love and awe for our mighty Creator and Savior.  Thanks for your willingness to be used by the Lord!

Dr. Tim Smith and his wife Maryl have a special anointing to minister the very “heart of worship.”  During their visit, we experienced inspirational & prophetic praise. He led with anointing and a spirit of breakthrough. His gifting on various instruments, paired with his desire to usher in the Holy Spirit, was a tremendous blessing during our services. He shared a moving message about the power and beauty of worship. Our members were provoked by his prophetic anointing and we will continue to water the seeds that he and Maryl were faithful to plant.

He gives the Lord glory through his worship and his words.

We hosted a Tim Smith Worship Seminar on Saturday October 18, 2008. It was fabulous! It was a wonderful time of learning and refreshing: our choir and worship team were inspired and drawn closer to Jesus. Tim’s incredibly anointed worship leading, songwriting, prophetic flow, and teaching will bless your church. Tim’s depth of experience as a seasoned worship pastor and his rich academic background qualify him to speak to the issues that are critical to developing a worship ministry. He does it all with a heart of humility and grace. I highly endorse Tim and Maryl Smith and Worship Without Borders."

Dan Gardner, Worship Pastor, Zion Christian Church, Troy, MI

Wow! Was this a God ordained week or what! Tim and Maryl's worship seminar here was an incredible blessing - packed to the gills with practical as well as spiritual sessions. What a life changing time for our worship team, leaders, and church! Latins are into music!! It was so great to have people with years of experience to help our young musicians rise to another level.

Their many years of leading worship, their unique gift of seeing potential in, and developing people into worship teams is a treasure that I am sure other nations need just as much as here in Mexico. They were great at relating to individuals thru out the weekend. The language barrier seemed to deter very little. The love they showed and maturity that was exemplified as well as musical knowledge and anointing drew our people to them. They all want them to come back and teach us more as soon as possible.

We will be leaning on Tim even while he is in other places thru email consultation. We are planting churches now and are going for hundreds more. Not only do we need to prepare future pastors but also worship people for these new works. Many of our outreaches have experienced dearth and great frustration when it comes to even a basic worship team. Some don't even have one good musician! What a need! Harvest is coming in, our kinds of churches need strong Praise and Worship. We need to get the worship model functioning quickly. Jesus deserves it. I wish we could get the Smiths to live here for several months, or clone them, uh, with a little more Latin look!

The time has never been riper - God is doing amazing things across the world. Tim and Maryl have answered the call to "GO" May scores of churches and individuals catch the vision to get behind Tim and Maryl financially so that they can GO, being sent by you, to hungry nations such as ours!"

Pastors Phil and Judy Jaquith, Senior Pastor, Fuente para el Mundo, Puebla, Mexico

Dear Pastor, I want to recommend to you Dr Tim Smith and his ministry of worship.  Tim has been helping us almost monthly here at The City Church in Seattle, leading worship at all of our campuses and helping us train our worship teams.

He also has a passion for international ministry and we have helped send him and his wife and teams to other nations with wonderful success and blessing.

Second only to the preaching of the Word, the worship ministry of our churches is paramount.  It is the vital link between the Lord's people and His sweet presence.  Tim's anointing in this area is unparalleled and full of grace.

I would not only recommend having him to your church for possible worship ministry but also consider a regular monthly financial support as we are doing, in order to help fund ministry to nations that might not be able to afford having him."

Pastor Wendell Smith, Senior Pastor, City Church, Seattle, WA

We have had Tim and Maryl here to work with our team and without a doubt it was beneficial.  We often think of the need to have spiritual fathers speak into the local church, but have you considered, we need worship fathers to deposit in the worship team as well?  Paul wrote in 1 Cor 4:15 "For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel."  Tim has a father's heart to build the local church.  He will certainly benenfit most any team who desires to go to a higher level."

Pastor Derrill Corbin - Senior Pastor, Life Center, Centralia, WA

We were truly blessed by the ministry of Dr & Mrs. Smith.  The excellence that we experienced was truly awesome!  It was amazing to see how the Lord was able to flow in our midst, and how Dr. & Mrs Tim ushered in that presence!  We will never be the same again after this Worship Conference and cannot wait until we are together again!  The tools we aquired from their teaching is something that we will have for the rest of our lives, and are so excited about implementing them in our times of worship!

Danny & Denise Ramos - Worship Pastor, Hosanna Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, FL

Thank you for coming to Uganda. I was amazed at how much you gave to this country on such a short stay.

Royce Iverson, Missionary in Entebbe, Uganda

This is a brief report about the Worship Conference we just concluded on the 18th of Dec.2007 at our church in Kampala, Uganda. Dr.Tim Smith and his wife Maryl were the main speakers and they did a great job. The presence of God was so rich, Intercession was so powerful and it was so amazing to see different ones break forth and released to sing the song of the Lord after simple instruction.  The teachings were well received and many were hearing these things for the first time! There was a deep work that was done in all of our hearts the three days as the servants of God ministered to us. This ministry is very much needed in our country and we will pray that God in His time will bring them to us again to build on the foundation that was laid these three days. This was the first worship conference in the history of our church. 24 other churches participated. We invited pastors and worship leaders and their teams from around Kampala and 200 came. There was  a Muslim man who was passing by the church as we were concluding the conference, he heard the high praises and the worship which was going on, he came in and  committed his life to Jesus Christ! Praise God. Tim, Maryl and Molly also spoke to our young people in our youth camp. It was amazing to see the young people responding and released in worship, raising their hands and singing their praises to God.   The presence of God was so rich.  Tim preached in both services last Sunday as  well. Tim and his team have truly been a great blessing."

Pastor Wilfred Kaweesa, Senior Pastor, Reaching Unto Nations Church, Kampala, Uganda

Wow – Pastor Tim – thank you so much for the weekend you spent with us!  From the opening session with the Worship Team to the closing service with the Congregation, we saw your heart for both Worshiping the Father and supporting His children, along with your incredible technical skills.  Given where we were in transitioning the leadership of our Worship Ministries, the timing for us could not have been better!!  I think having you come to us and spend time at our church with our Team made a huge impact – much more than if we had sent everyone to a conference outside!  We have seen many results: a new willingness to try different approaches to songs; a growing sense of unity among the Team; some (significant) changes in sound and blending the instruments together; the vocals working on both their blend and their presentation, and even just some new chord progressions to try during times of free-worship.  I can’t thank you enough for sharing your self and your gifts with us.  We look forward to having you and Maryl back again!"

Diane Bobko J, Worship Mnstries Coordinator, Christian Family Center, Camano Island, WA

Tim and Maryl Smith’s willingness to come along side and provide input has been an extremely valuable tool of reference and will help us to achieve more goals than we had ever hoped for. They left us with a 6 page document with scenario possibilities, suggestions and edified the socks off the team. I don't think I've ever been critiqued in such an edifying way; I'm still trying to figure out how they did that. I would highly recommend the Smith's coming to you, so many seminars just leave you in such a short time frame as you return to your real world. This one altered us, we can't go back."

Rev. Steve Myall, Worship Director, Columbia Heights Assembly of God, Longview, WA

Wow! What a worship time with the both of you! Thank you for your teaching, sharing the love of Christ and waking up our dried up bones! When I heard the choir sing, I felt like I was back in California at our old church! My spirit and bones woke up! Our bones had been dried up too long! God is good and He is faithful and gives us what we need, exactly when we need it! What a great time! Looking forward to having both of you over this way more often! Thank you for pouring out to us. Thank you for your faithfulness and obedience to our Lord! May He bless you both as you continue to serve Him, the Almighty God!"

Jeff and Lydia Kreft, Bend Christian Fellowship, Bend, OR

There is a beauty in Tim's ministry that can only spring from the heart of a habitual worshipper which is what he has proven time and again to be. His ministry will be a great blessing to you as he has always been to us. Tim has always been able to intermingle the attitude of servanthood with worship and that is something that is greatly needed in the church today."

Guy Rozario, Worship Pastor, Full Gospel Assembly, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

You are popular folks with our group. The musicians team is still speaking so highly of you and so appreciatively. We (Larry & Sharon) will be forever grateful for the impact you have had on our worship team. They, and we, are excited about putting the suggestions into practice. Tracy moved in the song of the Lord very strongly on Sunday morning. It was beautiful!! -- Just a smidgeon of the good fruit your ministry is producing amongst us. You not only imparted to us with words – but also with anointing – to bring about the changes that needed to be made. We are rejoicing.Plus – we sure enjoyed getting to know you wonderful people. What a joy it was to fellowship with you both."

Pastor Larry and Sharon Dublanko, Pastors, Cornerstone Community Church, Aberdeen, WA

Thank you again for your very strong impartation to us this past weekend... it was RICH. People are already using Tim-isms - golden nuggets they got from your teaching! Saturday was especially marvelous as I really believe our people were able to realize that we all have a measure of the prophetic within us and if we just yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit, He is able to use us. Tremendous!"

Pastor Leon Sandberg, Worship Pastor, City Church, Kirkland, WA

It has been my great privilege to have ministered with Tim for many years. Without a doubt, Tim’s heart and passion for the Presence of the Lord is clearly evident. His worship gifting, teaching, leading and experience abounds with wisdom, depth and sensitivity – a much-needed resource for today’s church worship expression. I highly recommend Tim Smith’s ministry to any church that has the opportunity to receive him!!!"

Howard Rachinski, CEO & President, CCLI, Portland, OR

<"Tim is an amazing combination of worship leader, musician, composer, teacher, preacher and friend. His kindness and experience make it easy to follow him as he leads people into the most intimate levels of worship. He does not hype up the congregation but simply is himself; a talented man expressing his great love for God in songs that delight the heart and soul. I can recommend Tim to any group that wants to further their skills and their sensitivity to God in worship."

Mike Herron, Vice President/General Manager Latin America Integrity International Group, Mobile, Alabama

Tim was a worship leader and teacher at the very first worship conference I attended. His blend of musical proficiency with a prophetic edge greatly impacted me as a songwriter and worship leader in the early days of my ministry. Now more than 20 years later I see in Tim an even greater passion to worship God and to train up a new generation of worship musicians."

Marty Nystrom, Songwriter, Worship Leader with Integrity Music

You were a real inspiration to me and helped to instill into me the heart of worship as a young person.  Those times in God's presence I will never forget.  I still remember the first time I ever played piano in church.  I started to play for the prayer time and was so nervous that I was playing way too busy and distracting....you so kindly snuck up to the piano and coached me as I played. It blessed me so much. You could have kicked me off and said - you are not ready.... but instead you worked with me and showed me the way of flowing."

Donna Lasit, Worship Leader, Songwriter, City Bible Church, Portland, Oregon

I admire the way you are always so productive and touching every life around you inspiring them to be the same. I am always grateful for the richness you've added to my life and will be keeping tabs of your adventures!! You have been a fruitful tree planted by the water."

Liz Dugger, Worship Director, Rolling Hills Community Church, Lake Oswego, Oregon

Hi Tim – I received great feedback from everyone who attended your Refresh Seminar from The Promise Church in Dundee. The following Sunday we decided that everyone who attended the seminar would be on the morning worship team. I have to tell you that the morning worship was more than inspired, it was transcendent!! We also decided to implement a special evening service dedicated to worship every third Sunday of the month. There's even talk of singing a few hymns!!"
