I have known Billy Smith for over twenty years and consider him to be one of the finest men of God in America. For many years he served effectively as pastor and his churches always ranked near the top in baptisms and growth.
It was my privilege to help him in many revivals and without fail, we always had a wonderful harvest. He has the touch of God! But not only is he an effective evangelistic preacher, he is also a gifted Bible teacher. He ministers to the church and builds up the saints of God. He will bless and encourage your people.
Billy is theologically sound and conservative, academically prepared, morally clean, and blessed with a winsome personality.
I deeply love and respect Billy Smith and am happy to commend him to my friends and fellow preachers. He will bless and challenge your church and will leave you better than when he came. I hope you will use him.

Billy Smith is one of those unusual servants of God who presents convicting truth in a most gracious and loving manner. When you hear him preach, you are touched by not only what he says, but how he says it. I continue to use Billy Smith because he is relevant, caring, and genuine. In a day when people hunger for authenticity, Billy Smith is a living model of genuine Christianity.

I believe that God has His hand on the ministry of Billy Smith. He is a gifted evangelist who preaches God’s word with clarity and conviction. The revival which Billy led in our church was not just another series of meetings. We had greater response and more decisions for Christ than any other revival. His Bible-centered messages will bless and challenge your people. I highly recommend him to my fellow pastors.

I am honored to commend Billy Smith to you. He is a bold and blazing voice for a much needed call to repentance and revival. God has anointed his life with His power in presenting the truth of God. You will be blessed by his ministry.

When Dr. W. A. “Billy” Smith preached during revival services, it was by far the best revival in eight years. There were professions of faith, additions by letter, families brought together, etc. Billy’s preaching was doctrinally and Biblically sound, powerfully delivered and practically encouraging. Our attendance was superb and our congregation responded with the largest “love offering” in history. Our Sunday School participation is above a year ago and we are more than $13,000 above current budget requirements. I commend Dr. Smith without reservation.

Billy Smith is one of my favorite people. He walks with grace and truth honoring the Lord who embodied those virtues. Billy Smith is one of my favorite pastors. Though no longer pastoring a local church, Billy is a pastor to pastors. He is one of my favorite preachers. He is all Baptist, standing foursquare on the doctrines that distinguish us. He is all Bible. His sermons are neck deep in the Word of God. He is all backbone, fearlessly trumpeting the truth with conviction.

My purpose for writing this letter is to encourage you to prayerfully consider having Brother Billy Smith in your church to lead your people in a revival effort. As you may know, Billy Smith pastored some of the most progressive churches in our convention and then, in 1994, he entered the field of evangelism. You can rest assured that I would not recommend him to you if I did not have full confidence in the Lord’s work through him.
I think that the Lord would bless your people in a wonderful manner if you invited Billy Smith to preach a revival for you. You would find that not only is he one of the very best preachers in the field of evangelism today, but he is also an encourager to the Pastors and to their churches. Your people will appreciate him immensely and they will be enriched in their spiritual walk and commitment through his ministry. Pastors often need encouragement in their work and, having been a pastor, Brother Billy Smith is well qualified to help the pastor in a unique way as he preaches to the people each night.
Our church really experienced a revival through this man’s leadership and I am confident that you would find that your church should be challenged and energized spiritually through the ministry of Billy Smith. I heartily recommend him to you as an evangelist.

I have known Dr. Billy Smith since we were neighboring pastors in the Mississippi delta in the late 1960’s. He has always been characterized by what I consider the three great qualifications of an effective preacher: a strong commitment to Christ, a personal integrity, and a zeal for souls. The fact that he is a gracious and positive and easy to listen to is just icing on the cake. He’s also a great story-teller. You will recall that our Lord loved to tell a good story.
Billy Smith is a “big preacher” in a hundred ways. But in his humble manner, it’s obvious that either he doesn’t know it or doesn’t believe it. (That’s good. Let’s not tell him!) I rejoice to call him my brother and friend, and to recommend his ministry to my brethren.
