WELCOME​​
To JoAnn DeJoria Smith's​
​little corner of the world.
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. - Eccl. 3:1​
​
I am in a new season in my life and am excited about where it will take me.​
​
James 1:27 ​says "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
​
​My husband Stan went home to be with the Lord May 3, 2012. This is the second time I've been widowed in my life. The first time I was 26 years old and I was devastated as I stood by my husbands bedside as he died. This time I knew the Lord and so did my husband. When he left his earthly body I was with him and joy and peace filled the house. I have been surrounded in a shield of God's amazing grace. Before Stan died he wanted us to both be ordained by Gary Goodell, founder of Third Day Churches.​
​
The focus of Third Day Churches is on the things that I want to spend the rest of my life doing which is to help orphans, widows, the poor and rescuing children who are caught in slave trade. I am also committed to Evangelism using the tools I have, one of which is my testimony.

Check out the site for my book, Mind Lost Mind Found.
I give this book away whenever I think it is appropriate.
