Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
Forgive me for not communicating with you last month but we have been through a time of great pressure and much opportunity for His grace.
Cindy who most of you know as the one who ran our office, answered the phone and filled your orders left us suddenly in the first week of January. We have a very small staff and this put pressure on everyone to fill the void. A few days after Cindy leaving in one day everyone on staff had a major sickness in their immediate family that demanded that they are with their loved one; the nature of the sickness would put them out of commission for a prolonged period of time. Nancy and I were in the first stages of moving back to Bandera and were not prepared for the running of the entire office to fall on Nancy’s shoulders. We have not finished the move and presently live between two houses. Nancy runs the office (which includes all of the book keeping) and makes all the CD’s and fills your orders while I fill in running errands and helping with the making of orders where I can. We can report that the medical emergencies are progressing well as we have all prayed our way through their surgeries. John joins us now in the office in the last days. We discovered the 50% of our machines in the office needed replacing which has further held us up and been an added expense. So please forgive us for any orders being late or communication not being as they should have been! Pray for continued grace to handle the situation and when you call the office please leave a message on the phone rather than hanging up – we will get your message and get back to you.
In this we have learned at a very deep level the absolute truth of this message of God’s present strong love. Some defined this as an attack of the enemy – which indeed it is but we have realized that spiritual warfare is not in screaming at the devil but living in the abundance of the grace that the Spirit gives in the moment to the utter frustration and defeat of the enemies plan. I can report that the office at this time hears more laughter of joy and is awash with His peace than I have known in years. Remember this as you listen to the webinars that I am presently teaching on “Radical Grace”.
In the midst of this the grace of the Lord has been abundant upholding and empowering us to walk in peace and His joy. Thank you for your continued giving and for those who undoubtedly led by the Spirit gave special gifts.
If you are a new partner receiving your first communication from me you must wonder what you have come into! Let me assure you that you have become part of a family of believers that look upon giving not merely as a charitable contribution. Every dollar that you send is the love of God clothed in finances and wrapped in prayer – the gift of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent forth to world. You and I, along with every other partner do more together than either of us could do alone in our wildest dreams. In your monthly giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world. And while we send our gifts we live the message in all the ups and downs of life.
We graduated five students who have been coming to Bandera and studying with me for the last seven Modules. It was a great weekend as we send these folks to be and to share the message of love.
Thank you especially at this time for your faithful giving – you are the miracle that we pray for!

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
This partner message wraps up the year and brings us up to date. The next partner message will be in January 2015. It has been a year of blessing and many challenges and opportunities of faith. We give thanks for his leading us through every minute of it. For some of you it has been a year of revelation in which you have come to know the Lord as you have never known him before. Celebrate his work in you and enter 2015 to grow in grace and the full knowledge of the Lord.
We have just returned from the December retreat that we have been talking and praying about for so long. It was a very blessed weekend with a great sense of the presence of the Lord and revelation of who we are in the love of God. Thank you for your prayers for us through the weekend. It was a joy to meet some of you for the first time and to reconnect with others who found us after 30 years! The message on CD will be available in the weeks to come.
We welcome our new partners from the webinar and also from the retreat. You have become part of a company of people who give not merely as a charitable contribution; every dollar that you send is the love of God clothed in finances and wrapped in prayer – the gift of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent forth to world. You and I, along with every other partner do more together than either of us could do alone in our wildest dreams. In your monthly giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world.
Listen for the voice of the Spirit in your giving and pray for the work of this ministry. We are facing financial challenges of faith that are greater than anything we have seen in the past 60 years. Join us in prayer and if the Spirit urges you to send a special gift be swift to obey!
“The Prayer Vol. 3” is now available – order online or call the office at 1-800-457-0947. TX residents call 830-460-4000. Our office hours are Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm CST.

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
In the days in which we live it is imperative that we know who we truly are in Christ. In my message this month I have shown the enormous power that is released in our life when we know the nature of the life within us – the same life that came out of the tomb on resurrection morning! The statements of Scripture regarding not only who Jesus is but also who we are in him are not imaginary, not untried ideas and concepts but the absolute truth and reality. It is the final truth that we are in the world but not of it – we are living in and living from Christ through the Spirit. I trust that this message will transform the way you live your daily life.
We continue to focus on the retreat the first weekend of December. The message of the gospel is that the almighty love of God can be released into our homes and workplaces, into our relationships through the Spirit. We are the channels through which his love flows into our world. This is the practical part of the retreat as we learn how that takes place.
I am convinced that the greatest power in the universe is the love of God manifest and defined in the Lord Jesus. When that love is released into our lives through the Spirit we live the life that we were created to live – truly free and at rest from which we work his works in the circle of our world and beyond. We must learn how to partake and participate in that love; how we release that love into our daily lives and into the lives of those around us. In such release our lives are never ordinary and boring but astonishing!
We are fast approaching November 22nd the cut-off date for registering in the hotel with the special price for the retreat.
If you have not made your reservation for the “Love – The Spirit’s Power” retreat, the first weekend of December do it immediately as space is limited. Register Online or call the office today and make your booking – you will not regret it.
Your gifts are not simply a charitable contribution. Every dollar that you send is the giving of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent forth to the world. You and I, along with every other partner do more together than either of us could do alone in our wildest dreams. In your giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world.
Thank you for your continued faithfulness in giving. I am asking special prayer concerning the finances of the ministry. We are facing challenges in that area greater than in the past 60 years. Join us in prayer and if the Spirit urges you to send a special gift be swift to obey!
We love you and pray for you every day.
The blessing of the Lord be with you all –
Malcolm and Nancy.

Dear partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love and transforming lives throughout the world.
Our focus in these days is on the winter retreat that is fast approaching. I am convinced that the greatest power in the universe is the love of God manifest and defined in the Lord Jesus. When that love is released into our lives through the Spirit we live the life that we were created to live – truly free and at rest from which we work his works in the circle of our world and beyond. Religion has taught us that life is a grim battling against sin and hopefully going to heaven when we die; the Gospel is that Christ has overcome sin and the world of darkness and has brought the beginnings of heaven into our lives now.
Our retreat in December is not only revealing this incredible news of God’s unique love but how we partake and participate in that love; how we release that love into our daily lives and into the lives of those around us. In such release our lives are never ordinary and boring but alive with the love that is the life of God. Living in this love as a fish lives in the sea is the way of wholeness and effective living.
The winter retreat could be the most significant event in this ministry of the last decades! You must be there and experience the fellowship of likeminded believers and the Presence of the Spirit among those of one mind and one accord.
If you have not made your reservation for the “Love – the Spirit’s Power” retreat, the first weekend of December do it immediately as space is limited. (Register Online Here)
Register online or call the office today and make your booking – you will not regret it.
My message to you this month highlights that central fact of the Gospel that Jesus came to bring us to the Father, to live in the family of love. You are the sons and daughters of the God who is love and his love is poured out in your hearts. This is your identity! We are trapped all too often in the misconceptions passed to us from our ancestors, the ignorance of the world system and the lies of the enemy that we are sinful failures in life. In your union with Christ you live in the truth that sets you free – the truth that you are the beloved of Abba and the center through whom his love flows into your little universe.
This is what this ministry is all about. You and I together are changing lives by the joy filled news of the love of God that you and I together send to the world in the power of the Spirit.
Your gifts are not simply a charitable contribution. Every dollar that you send is the giving of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent forth to the world. You and I, along with every other partner do more together than either of us could do alone in our wildest dreams. In your giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world.
We are receiving reports even as I write from those whose lives are literally transformed by the last retreat we had and we continue to receive testimony from the USA and around the world of the life change that is taking place as persons gather around their computer or podcast and listen to the webinars.
Thank you again for your gifts, the giving of your very selves to the expansion of this message of his love throughout the world. We love you and pray for you every day.
The blessing of the Lord be with you all –
Malcolm and Nancy.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED THE RETREAT, WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE!
This December our retreat is “Love – The Spirit’s Power”. What is the love of God? Certainly not the impersonal and vague word that is talked of in the new age media! God-love is the almighty power of God let loose in our lives. How do we connect with that love? How do we love those who would do us harm? What does this love look like in our daily lives? Are there boundaries to this love? We will be addressing these questions and much more in the retreat; it promises to be the most practical retreat we have had for a long time teaching you step by step how to live in this all-powerful love every day.

During one of our recent clean-up projects on the ranch, we discovered this beautiful cross that had been discarded. No one is sure where it came from or how it got here, but Andrew and Cindy knew just what to do with it. They cleaned and restored the wood and spent a hot summer day erecting the newly-polished cross along the main entrance to the ranch. Thanks to Cindy and Andrew for helping to make the property more beautiful!

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love throughout the world.
We live in dark and desperate times! At the center of the Gospel and our experience of God in Christ is radical hope. This hope is totally unlike what the world calls hope; this hope is founded in God’s character and purpose. It is hope that is defined by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and communicated to us through the Spirit. Without this hope we are alone with anxiety, despair and apathy – the energy of life has been sucked out of us.
It is time for us who are believers to remember who we are and declare the hope that belongs to us in Christ. Listen to my message to you this month and let hope arise within you.
The webinar continues to take this message of the love and grace of God to a multitude of countries throughout the world every Tuesday night and listened to through You Tube quite literally every minute of every day.
In your giving you are part of the voice that carries God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world. Join us and pray for those who are listening to this message in places where we could never go.

For those of you making plans for the year, our Winter retreat is scheduled for December 5th-7th. The retreat that we held in the beginning of June was such a success and the accommodations so good that we will be using the same hotel – the Drury Inn – we do not have a title yet but you can register with Cindy to be sure of your place. All of our Retreats fill up very quickly so please make your plans as soon as possible.
The months of May and June have been a financial challenge to our faith. As we enter the summer months with the many activities and vacations we find that some partners forget their offering. Please do not forget this year! If the Spirit speaks to you to send extra be obedient to send what He tells you!
Our expectancy is of the Lord who supplies our needs through those like you who obey the Spirit’s promptings. We give praise to Him and thanks to you for the supply.
The blessing of the Lord be with you all –
Malcolm and Nancy.

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love throughout the world.
God’s love is personal and focused on you! You are not one of the masses but known intimately by the Father; you are one with Christ and enjoy the same love of the Father that Jesus does. What an incredible salvation! In this love the Father has for you He listens to your every word delighting in you and answering you. I develop this in my message this month and I believe it will be a new insight into the love He has toward you.
I apologize for not sending out a message last month – I was confused and it was at the end of April that Nancy reminded me that I had not sent it out. This message covers both April and May.
We are busy getting ready for the summer retreat. We have filled every seat and have a waiting list. It promises to be one of the best retreats in many years. As I have been telling you the weekend covers the subject of God’s vision for your life, His thoughts toward you, and His purpose for you – we could even say God’s dream for your life. We will be covering how we discover and connect with those thoughts and flesh them out into life.
The teaching hours of the retreat will be released in the next weeks and I am confident that they will be life changing.
The webinar continues to take this message of the love and grace of God to a multitude of countries throughout the world every Tuesday night but listened to quite literally every minute of every day.
In your giving you are quite literally part of the voice that carries God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world. Join us and pray for those who are listening to this message in places where we could never go.

The CD’s for the December 2013 retreat, “Victory Over Evil Powers” are ready and you can purchase your copy from Unconditional Love International at www.malcolmsmith.org or you can call the office at 1-800-457-0947. TX residents call 1-830-460-4000. We are here in the office Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm CST. We do close for lunch for 1 hour from noon – 1pm. This series is a 2 volume series and both volumes together including shipping are $67.00. If ordering through the mail please make sure that for ordering products your check must be made payable to Unconditional Love LLC. Your donation check must be a separate check made to Unconditional Love Fellowship.
Both Nancy and I want to especially thank those of you who sent special gifts to cover Nancy’s medical expenses incurred in the breaking of her ankle/leg. She is still in a cast but we are praying she will be completely healed by the retreat. Your gifts for her underscore the love that you have for us and we are blessed by His care for us through you.
We continue to trust Father every day for the finances to meet all the challenges and opportunities of the ministry. Our expectancy is of the Lord who supplies our needs through those like you who obey the Spirit’s promptings. We give praise to Him and thanks to you for the supply. We have experienced daily adventures of faith but through it all we are triumphant and more than conquerors!
The blessing of the Lord be with you all –
Malcolm and Nancy.
