A relationship with the Lord is life altering and ever changing. I am eternally grateful for the forgiveness and mercy the Lord has shown me for over four decades and look forward to many more years walking with the Lord.

I am honored and excited to be on the board of AFCI-USA to help guide and direct this great organization into whatever future the Lord has in store for it.

Chairman of the Board, Independent Board Member since 2014

Dewell Smith

Dewell is the ninth child and third son born to Frank and Ida Smith on June 24, 1948 in Menifee Arkansas. He was raised and nurtured by his parents to be a respectful, responsible, and diligent citizen of the world. He grew under the influence of his family to love music, sports, and the outdoors. Though his family, under the leadership of his father and mother, were dutiful church going people, he himself did not surrender to Christ until he was convicted of his sin and the need of The Savior by the Spirit of God at the age of 39. This arresting conversion has been shaping him since then to be useful for the Kingdom of God.

Independent Board Member since 2023

Mark Smith

Mark and his wife Neuzi are looking to serve the Lord according to His calling and are continuing to seek to serve Him as he leads in the years ahead. This calling includes serving on the AFCI Board and working with EMI on various projects where Mark may be able to serve. They also look to living part-time in Brazil, Neuzi’s country of origin, enjoying family and seeking opportunities that may arise in ministry there.
