July 2022 – Partner Update
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
Hello partners,
This partner message is going out a little late because Cindy Kimbrell unexpectedly passed through the veil to be with Christ which is far better. On July 12, she did not come into work which was very unusual. If she was going to be late or absent, she would always call me. Cheryl went to her house and called Randy to join her there. After they failed to have her answer the door, Cheryl called the wellness police, and they came and made entry into the house. She had collapsed on the floor of the shower holding a towel looking very peaceful. She died of a brain aneurism. She is greatly missed and will be missed by many of you who spoke to her often on the phone when you called the ministry, met her at bible schools and retreats at the product table.
I will be having a knee replacement surgery in August having which will be followed by weeks of therapy. I do not know how long it will take before I am back and able to walk. Any schedule that involves travel is unsure at this time. The tentative dates for travel are on the accompanying audio message – by my next message to you, I will be able to be more specific.
Having said that, we will be having the Bible School Module 5 in September (23-24th) and October (7-8th) and the retreat the first weekend of December. If you plan on coming, please secure your place immediately – both events are rapidly filling up. The Bible school Module is dealing with the finished work of Christ. We conduct the Bible school modules in Bandera and stream them live by Zoom, which has enabled us offer them to nearly 200 students covering the world. We are also building an online course as we record each new session, so students can always go back review the content. Modules 1-4 are already available online. If you are interested in the Bible School you may contact Judy for more information – text or call her at (830) 328-3770 – or visit the MSBI information page on our website for more on the Bible school modules.
The annual retreat the first weekend of December is at a new location in San Antonio, Texas this year and our subject will be the life of rest that we have in Christ. Many speak of it but few live it and we look forward to spending the weekend discovering this truth along with fellowship together. Full details can be found below, or on our website at www.unconditionallovefellowship.com/2022retreat/. Cheryl and I look forward to meeting all of you – old friends and new – hearing your story and praying with you. This year’s retreat will include a special celebration for my 70th year in ministry. You don’t want to miss it!

Because of a change in the hotel there has been a delay in your ability to book your room for the December retreat. That has now been dealt with and you can go ahead and call the hotel (210-340-6060) to secure your room.
We are enjoying a great number of people joining our Sunday morning service and teaching every week via Zoom. We welcome all to join us! If you’d like to participate in our Sunday services online, email malcolmsmith.org@gmail.com and let us know you want to receive the Zoom link each week in your email.
We welcome the partners who have joined in the last months having met us on Zoom. You have become part of a family of faithful believers who have seen and come to know who they are in Christ Jesus and want to extend this message through the world. Cheryl and I thank all of you for your faithful giving, especially in these difficult days.
We are looking forward to seeing you somewhere in the next months!
Love In Christ,
Malcolm and Cheryl
