Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
I am beginning with a great thank you and praise to God for all of you who have continued to send your gifts and letters of encouragement through this long winter of the pandemic when there has been little communication from us to you. Your continued giving without a monthly prod to do so thrills me – you give by the Spirit’s urging and not by my stoking your emotional fires!
As most of you know I was married to Cheryl back in February, and these last months have been consumed with moving the contents of her house to Bandera and then selling her house in Houston. That will soon be over as we close in a few days.
These days where we could not meet brought about a new dimension of ministry that I believe is here to stay – meeting by Zoom. We enjoy Bible schools by Zoom that have caused them to increase from 60 or 70 students to nearly 200 covering the world. We will have Module 3 in September 17-18th, and a repeat in October 15-16th, 2021 and all who have taken Modules 1 and 2 should sign up for this one that covers all the covenants of the Old Testament by registering with Judy (830) 328-3770.
We also meet every Sunday and many join us by Zoom – if you’d like to join our Sunday church services in Zoom, just email us at malcolmsmith.org@gmail.com to let us know you’re interested. I also have had the joy of coming into living rooms via Zoom and spending an evening sharing and answering questions… I have had home Bible studies sitting in Bandera ministering in a home 1,000 miles away! I even had a meeting in a church on the East coast without leaving my house.
But times are changing – at least in Texas – and we [Cheryl will be with me] will be speaking in Alvin, Texas on September 26th, both morning and evening services. I will have the exact location and times for you in my message next month.
We are excited that the first weekend of December we will have our annual retreat that we had to cancel last year. PRAYER: The Door to the Father’s Intention – Friday, December 3 – Sunday, December 5, 2021 in Kerrville, Texas. Register online at www.unclov.org/2021retreat or to register by phone, contact Judy at (830) 328-3770 and be sure to have your place.
My message this time deals with one of the most basic problems of life – when we are faced with a situation that reveals our weakness, our “I am not enough, I cannot, I have not…” Paul said that he had learned a secret in which he could embrace the reality that Christ was his life and then embrace his weakness as the arena in which the strength of God would be perfectly manifested not only in a spiritual dimension but in our actual experience and feelings! Listen at least once– there is a tremendous spiritual truth here!
Again I celebrate you as you have given so consistently through these last months – your gifts enable us to penetrate the darkness with the light of the unconditional love of God.
You are blessed in Christ Jesus,
Malcolm and Cheryl

Unconditional Love Fellowship Winter Retreat
December 3-5, 2021 in Kerrville, Texas
The December 2021 retreat was a great success and a wonderful time of fellowship with all of those who were able to attend. We look forward to planning more gatherings in 2022!
It has been over a year since our last retreat together. We want to invite you to Kerrville, Texas this winter to come fellowship with Malcolm Smith and enjoy a weekend of rich teaching of the Word of God. Come take part in this weekend of music, fellowship and deepening your understanding of prayer. We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you this December!
Malcolm Smith
Founder of Unconditional Love Fellowship
“This retreat is a main event we look forward to year after year. To us it is similar to a family reunion of sorts. Many attend our zoom Sunday services as their church so we cherish the time with like minded believers. Friendships are formed and nurtured throughout our time together. Many who attend say they won’t and don’t miss it year after year. It is a time of bonding like we don’t experience at other events. We look forward to our time together in December, in Kerrville, Texas! May God richly bless you.” -Malcolm Smith

We have started THREE new YouTube channels which will feature all of the teachings and sermons shared with us during our Sunday services from Andrew Coloney, Marshall Reeves and Clint Walker. Many of you know Andrew already, he has worked with Malcolm for years as associate pastor at Unconditional Love Fellowship. Marshall has also followed Malcolm for years and has recently joined Unconditional Love Fellowship as Malcolm’s associate pastor as well. Clint has studied and worked with Malcolm for many years. They have studied the word of God under Malcolm for years, and often speak at our Sunday church services in Bandera, Texas and many of you wanted to be able to watch them again and again, so… Make sure to drop by their YouTube channels, watch some great messages and subscribe to show them your support! You can follow the links below, or if you visit Malcolm’s YouTube channel page, you’ll find them all listed un the ‘Featured Channels’ section there.

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
It has been so long since our last communication with you and I want to begin this letter by thanking you for continuing your support for the ministry each month even though there was no news from us in the usual fashion. Back in the spring, when all this COVID news started coming in, we had to cancel my travels and have our staff shift its focus to online alternatives. Since then we have outfitted our chapel at the ranch with cameras and sound equipment and started meeting in Zoom, streaming our church services and Bible school online. The response has been good and the church congregation has grown more each week.
I also want to assure you that I am in great health. I have had two ‘repair procedures’ during this year but they were out-patient and I am feeling great! I celebrated my 82nd birthday in October, but I feel much younger!
Many of you have been keeping in touch with us via Zoom. For those not familiar with it, Zoom is an online meeting software that allows us to have immediate video contact and conference with each other. I have sent out messages over Zoom from my kitchen table that were put onto YouTube for all to see. As mentioned earlier, we have equipped the chapel with video recording equipment and have been broadcasting our Sunday services live online. Many of you have been joining us each week for fellowship, teaching and communion service. Randy, our ranch manager, operates the camera and recording equipment in Bandera while John in San Antonio relays that to Zoom and posts it on YouTube as well. Whatever the future holds I think that Zoom communication is here to stay!
If you have missed this news and would like to join us every Sunday online, email us at malcolmsmith.org@gmail.com and we will make sure you get an invitation each week in your email with instructions on how to join the church meetings in Zoom. (There’s even an option to dial in and listen by telephone – without a computer.)
A few more announcements: Andrew Coloney, my associate pastor at Unconditional Love Fellowship, has a new YouTube channel with some of his recent teachings which will surely bless you. Also our staff has been working to make more of my teaching series (which were previously only available on CD) available as downloads. We are adding more downloads each week on our online store at www.malcolmsmith.org.
During the first weeks of the ‘shutdown’ due to COVID back in March, I had a year of bookings cancelled – including a much-anticipated tour of the U.K. in October. That has meant communicating with individuals, home groups, and even church congregations by Zoom. This September we had the largest Bible school module we have ever had. There were about thirty students here at the ranch and nearly 200 more participating online through Zoom from all over the world including: Australia, South America, central Africa and Europe. It was a marvelous time – the Spirit freely working in and with all this technology.
I am aware that some of you do not have a computer or if you do have no idea how to access these programs that give instant communication. I thank you for your prayers and support even when you did not know what was going on – we have prayed for you, your health and lives blessed by the Spirit. We will be sending you a CD of our Sunday morning service and also making it available to all our partners on our website.
In this message I deal with the absolute and unshakeable confidence that we have in the faithfulness of God toward us. I base that on the word that begins Psalm 23:6 – “Surely”. We live in a world in chaos deeply anchored to the covenant faithful love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit – I AM. I am sure this will bless you all.
If this is a success – taking a Sunday service via all the technology to come to you by CD – then we will be doing this each month of 2021.
We will be having another Bible school (module 2) in January that will be repeated in February and March. To attend Module 2 you must have completed Module 1. To enroll and have your place reserved in-person at the ranch in Bandera or to join by Zoom, contact Judy at (830) 328-3770. (Please use only this number for Bible school information and registration. Do not call the usual number at the office. Thank you.)
I have been able to travel to a church in Houston during the year for meetings and will be doing so next year and will let you know when I have dates for those meetings.
All of us here are praying His richest blessing in these challenging days – and may the joy of the Lord fill your holiday season.
Again thank you with all my heart for your love gifts that have flowed through these months of being cut off from one another. It clearly showed that you are committed to giving to the message going out to the world even as I am in speaking it.
We will communicate again in January 2021.

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
I apologize for the lateness of this communication but I have been overwhelmed with work and unable to sit down and talk to you until now. My message this month is very simple! It is the story of very ordinary people doing a very ordinary job who make mistakes and discover the unlimited kindness and goodness of God in the smallest details of an ordinary life. If you are at the end of your rope and look at a future that is filled with anxiety then I believe this message will help you to see that our impossible situations are the containers of the beauty and glory of His all-possible kindnesses.
The year ahead is filled with opportunities for us to meet around the country – or for you to alert your friends that I will be in their neighborhood. I shall be in Myrtle Beach, S.C. in the next few days and our Module 2 (all students must have completed Module 1) of the Bible school will meet in San Antonio for another two days of letting revelation truth wash over us.
Speaking of the Bible school in response to those who have asked we will be doing Module 1 again in September 11-12. Those who were here for Module 1 back in October told their friends of all that happened who told others until people were calling us asking that we repeat Module 1. If you can be there call our scheduling number 830-328-3770 immediately as time is short and we have to decide on the venue which depends on how many committed persons we have.
The St. Petersburg, Florida retreat – June 12-14 – I will be teaching on “Wake up! You have the mind of Christ!” For some that will sound far out but others will recognize that as a text of Scripture in the New Testament! You do have the mind of Christ and we will discover what that means in June. I do not need to tell you that a retreat is different to a meeting or Bible school. A retreat is a happening, a meeting with God that is life redirecting. The great moments are not so much in the meetings, but in what happens between and around the tables where we eat together; it is in the hallways where you are prayed for, or you step into a new realm of praying for someone else and see what He does. If you are coming we must hear from you soon so we can let the hotel know size of rooms etc.
I go from Florida to Virginia the following weekend where I am expecting a time of great revelation.
To book your place or ask questions for any of these meetings we now have a new department for you to call. The ministry number remains the same and Cindy will continue taking orders but all questions relating to retreats, Bible school or my meetings in churches are handled by Judy at 830-328-3770. Call direct – Cindy cannot transfer you as Judy’s office is in another part of the ranch.
You have blessed us with your offerings of love and I thank you everyone – I open all the mail and it is becoming like meeting old friends! We love you and want you to know that you are a vital part of this ministry – you and I are in this together bringing the love of God to one person at a time.

Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
I am very late in declaring His blessing on your New Year but I do it knowing that His love is not limited to dates and times! I went to Colorado over the holidays and had a glorious time high in the mountains and came back to speak at a conference in Houston. It was an amazing time to watch the Spirit open the eyes of the understanding to see the love of God in a new and fresh way. That meant that January has been a very full month and a late partner message.
I have shared this month in my message to you on the zeal of God’s love. The zeal of His love is a message not often heard – we hear a lot more about the need for our zeal to activated God! Thank God we trust in the God who is zealous for us and follows His love purpose for us relentlessly to the goal – in this life! I believe this message will inspire you but also bring you in a fresh way to rest in His boundless zeal to accomplish His work in each of us.
I will travel more this year giving me the opportunity to meet many of you as old friends or as the many new friends we have connected with over the last months. My schedule is below.
If you have questions re my travel schedule we now have a new department in the ministry headed up by Judy Christian that deals only with events, Bible schools and my travel schedule. If you have any questions that fall into those categories please do not call the office number but the following number will connect directly to Judy: 830-328-3770
Cindy continues to be your contact person for all products – CD’s and books – she cannot any longer help with the meetings and events; you can reach Cindy at the office phone you have always used: 830-460-4000.
Those who have completed Module 1 are eligible for Module 2 which will be May 2 in San Antonio. Please, if you are coming, call the office to register with your deposit as soon as possible to make sure that you have a seat.
We are considering the possibility of beginning a new cycle, beginning with Module 1 because of a number of you who did not make it to this last Module 1; if we do so we will have two cycles going on together. We will make further announcement in the next monthly letter if we decide to do that.
I will also be in Myrtle Beach, S.C. March 20-22 – register online at www.gracelifemb.com
We are having a retreat in St. Petersburg, FL June 12-14; last year was a most unusual and wonderful retreat and we believe this year will be even better in a beautiful hotel on the beach. The subject of this retreat will be “Wake Up!, You have the mind of Christ. You can register online at malcolmsmith.org. I go immediately from there to Virginia. Then for the entire month of October, I will be speaking in various churches in the U.K.
Thank you for your giving over the past year – it is His love to and in you turned into gifts that go on to bless the world! We bless and hold you in His love every day. 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 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 monthly giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world.
