The Smith’s
Partner with us!
We would be honored if you would partner with us as we are desiring to follow The Lord in this season of our life as a family!
Hi everyone!! If you don’t know us, my name is Hunter Smith, and in the photo above is my wife Keana, and our 4 week old baby boy, Levi. We are two kids from California who love Jesus! In the last year we have gotten married, had a baby and moved to Texas to pursue Jesus at Upperroom School of ministry! We are wanting to put together this letter to bring you into our lives and ask for your partnership with us in this season of our lives!
UPPERROOM School of Ministry & Life in Dallas
Who we are, and what we’re doing…
Here is a little about us! I (Hunter) am 23 years old from southern California, and so is my wife Keana who is 22. In our late teens we both were lost trying to find purpose and satisfaction for our soul, and we, like many others, tried all that we could and it came up empty. We both encountered the presence of God for the first time in our Pastor's living room, and were changed ever since. Jesus developed a deep hunger and a passion for His presence within our hearts, marking us and placing a burden for His people to encounter Him in the way we did. Over the years we got plugged into our local church, Keana led in the children's ministry, and I was brought on staff! The more we served and worked, we started to feel a shift, the Holy Spirit started to show us that the weight of what we were doing with our hands started to outweigh the maturity of our hearts.
So on December 30th of 2024, my wife and I attended Upperroom's End of year conference, with the intention of seeking The Lord and asking Him for vision and direction for our lives. When we went to this conference, God opened both of our eyes on how much we needed to learn and grow in our relationship with Him, we needed to be Fathered.
So we prayed with our friends and leaders and decided to take a step back from ministry and to go to USM in Dallas TX. Over the next several months we would see God provide for us in supernatural ways through our friends and family. My wife and I got married and then not too long after we got pregnant with our first baby! We were nervous, excited, and sad to leave our families, but hopeful and expectant for how Jesus wanted to meet us in Dallas.
Where we are now and what we are believing for the future…
Present day :) We are overjoyed with our new baby boy! Levi Holder Smith was born on January 2nd at 10:53am, he was 6lbs and 3oz of pure cuteness! We just started our second semester of School, and can't believe how fast it is going! Each month since we've been here, we've seen God provide through the kindness of people each month as we've been trusting God with our finances. Time and time again he takes care of every need! We have been blown away by the generosity of His people, and the faithfulness of our King. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for His Kindness, and everyone's sacrificial yes.
In this current season we have been in greater need with our finances with our baby and keana being at home. I am doing jobs that have been getting us by but it's been scarce finding options flexible enough with school and with Keana and Levi at home.. We prayed and talked with our Pastors about our situation, we shared our hearts with them that we feel the pressure of needing to provide and take care of the needs, we felt we were doing all we could but it just wasn't working. We were anxious and finding it hard to have faith as time went on. Our Pastors mentioned this verse to us out of James 4:2 “...Yet you do not have because you do not ask…” So that's what we are going to do! Ask!
Here is what we are asking: From now until the end of the school in May, we are believing to raise 11,000$! Yes, It may seem crazy, but we believe that our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and that He can provide exceedingly abundant, MORE than we can ASK thinking or imagine, according to HIS power! Amen! This would give us enough to carry us through until we are out of school, for living, food, diapers, wipes, ect.
So we want to invite you to partner with us financially and in prayer. And if you can't give financially we believe that when a son or daughter of God prays, heaven moves. Peter says to the lame man at gate beautiful, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk”. We receive whatever you are able to bring, whether its finances, prayers, or diapers, God will multiply it!!!
We are so grateful for you taking the time to read this and for honoring us with your prayers, we are grateful and thankful for each of you who have sown into us physically and spiritually. We know that nothing we have, we have not been given. We are here by grace alone. We love you, even if we don't know you yet, we love you and if we don't on this side of eternity we will meet you in the next!
