About
The Smiths, Assemblies of God missionaries since 1991, served at the West Africa Advanced School of Theology (WAAST) from 1994 to 2023. The Smiths enjoy traveling to the WAAST extension centers throughout West and Central Africa to teach three-week block courses and to minister in the local churches.
