About

Malcolm Smith was born in London, England just as Europe was plunged into World War two. He came to faith in Jesus Christ in his early teens and experienced a fullness of the Spirit almost immediately that was to change and redirect his life forever. He began to preach at age fourteen and has over the last decades preached throughout the world.

Malcolm Smith is not an evangelist but as he often describes himself, is an evangelist to the evangelized, teaching believers who they are in Christ, the beloved of God and His dwelling place through the Spirit.

From the beginning he had a passion to know how the earliest church understood the Gospel as they changed the face of civilization with their message. He soon realized that the focal point of the Gospel was the covenant love of God cascading into creation through Jesus Christ. But more than doctrine, his passion was to discover the way in which the message of God’s covenant love worked out in our every day lives and the work place.

How do we love one another as He has loved us?

He was pastor of a church in New York City where all that he was beginning to understand was put to the test of the broken lives that fill the streets of that city. It was during that time that he found himself traveling through the U.S. as a teacher and leader of the emerging renewal of the Spirit throughout all denominations in the 60′s and 70′s. These travels extended to almost every continent.

He now resides in Bandera, Texas with his wife Cheryl where they hold Sunday church service, and conduct retreats and a non-residential Bible School. In recent years, he has published numerous books and expanded his online ministry, making services and events available online through YouTube and Zoom.

Cheryl Young Smith is founder and President of Mannequin Ministries, (a 501C3 non-profit organization) which provides ministry to bruised and broken women. She is a licensed and ordained minister. Cheryl served as the Women’s Staff Chaplain of Harris County Jail in Houston for ten years. Her experiences as a Jail Chaplain have given her insight and wisdom concerning the human condition, as well as allowing her to learn and develop counseling and facilitation skills. 

Cheryl received Jesus as her Lord and Savior on March 17, 1983 and was filled with the Holy Spirit. Shortly after her conversion, she began work in prison ministry. Her heart’s desire is to reach out to women in jails and prisons who have been abused and brokenhearted, to see them set free from their past by receiving God’s gift of salvation. She believes these women have lived in denial of God’s love and healing grace. She echoes the voice of Hosea in Chapter 2:14-15a: “Israel, I, the Lord will lure you into the desert and speak gently to you. I will return you to your vineyards, and then Trouble Valley will become Hopeful Valley. You will say ‘Yes’ to me as you did in your youth.”

Cheryl modeled professionally for fifteen years, but her professional success could not ease the intense sadness she felt from her experiences of shame, rejection, and abuse. She knows that healing and restoration can only come through the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Her testimonial poem, “The Mannequin” speaks of her experience of being touched by the healing grace of God and changed by the power of His love!

American Bible Society called on her expertise to review its Scripture Portion, “The Lord Hears Your Cries”, a spiritual survival guide for those who suffer domestic violence.

In 2021, she became the wife of Bishop Malcolm Smith and now resides in Bandera, Texas. She retains the name ‘Chaplain Archer’ on Facebook for the thousands of restored prisoners and formerly abused women who have known her and her ministry for over 25 years.
