My name is Stella Smuts. I was raised on a farm outside a country town in South Africa. My parents were born-again and raised their children in the church. As a teenager, I had an experience with the Presence of the Lord and accepted Him into my life. From there I grew in relationship with Him. Born out of this relationship is the deep seated desire to serve the Lord and His people. Through the years, I have been involved in many aspects of church life and service.
The Call
Way back in 1976, a prophetess told me the following:
The Lord is going to take you to places you never dreamed possible. That which you are doing for Him now will grow into ministries you could not have imagined. Serve Him with all your heart and might.
At the time, I was in school and active in ministries such as SCA, YFC, Sunday School teaching, worship leading etc. After I left school, I always got involved wherever I could be of service.
Servicing my Heavenly Father and His people has always been a priority in my life.
Table Mountain
The cable car was filled with many people speaking foreign languages. On the return trip, there were only 2 ladies speaking English, who were from the UK. I felt like a stranger in my own country!!
Spending time with my children and grandchildren is a honour and privilege. So many families are scattered throughout the earth. The little ones are growing well and are happy and healthy. The Lord is opening many doors for my family and we are so blessed that He is faithful towards us.
