On this your twelfth anniversary my dearly beloved brother,I am still finding it hard to accept the reality you are not with us physically but in spirit. Our hearts still ache with sadness and the tears keep flowing but are comforted by the God of comfort who comforts us in all our troubles so we can comfort others. Your legacy of faith and goodness live on. You will always be remembered Dave. Still hear you singing “His voice makes a difference”. Rest in peace !!

If Pastor Smith were alive, he would say that we are living in exciting times as he watches the happenings in the world today, especially in the Middle East. This of course would be in anticipation of the imminent return of the King of kings, Jesus the Messiah. May His soul rest in peace knowing that he was a faithful watchman who will be vindicated on that great day.

As the days elapse and the coming of our great King and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ draws closer, Pastor Smith is being vindicated as the prophecies he declared through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit unfold. May his soul continue to rest in peace and I cannot wait to hear his shout of victory on that great day of the Lord. May you all find peace in the hope of seeing Him again in the presence of Jesus.

Pastor Leighton Smith, mighty warrior and soldier for Jesus Christ was born for God's purpose, and he fulfilled it all. He instilled some great Christian principles in my life that kept me on this journey with Christ. As per walking straight in God's truth, practicing a strong prayer life, and making it right with others. On this special day, September 3rd, although it is not a pleasure to know he had left us in 2012. It is a happy and joyful feeling to know that he is with the LORD.

My dearly beloved brother Dave, am so glad I am a part of this birthday celebration, September 3, 2023.  As I pen this tribute, am sharing my time between another event -homegoing service- in Jamaica- and its a bitter-sweet time for me. Yes it's your birthday and I know for sure that you would be on "cloud nine" basking in the pomp and splendor, opening gifts till the end of the month among other exciting activities planned. You looked forward to this time of year as well as your friends, relatives and FEM brethren. They looked forward to rolling out the red carpet. Dave, you are absent from us but present with the Lord. You hold a special place in my heart and am so glad to have had you as a big brother. Love you nuff nuff!!!!! Sister -Dawn

Indeed I thank God that  your legacy stills lives on. Many have turned their back on the foundation, Sad. I remain committed to do my best to keep Countdown Ministerie alive  not by  words only, but actions. You would be disappointed that many have literally turned their backs on the hard work you built thru  sweat and tears but because the ministry in all locations was built on christ the solid rock, and the gates of hell will not cannot , stand against it. Rest my brother you did well. See you in the morning,  Cant get to lay a flower on your tomb, but i will lay one in the tribute. REST  RACE WELL RAN., IT STILL REMAINS WELL

It gives me great pleasure to honor the fond memories I have of you. Today marks your eleventh anniversary of your passing and still am at a loss for words.

Doing the best I can to honor your legacy. Dave you will always be remembered. RIP!!

It's is 10 years since LS left us for his mansion in heaven. I know he would not want me to put my life on pause to just keep lamenting over him but to live my life with the help of God to fulfill my purpose here on earth. I will always cherish his memories and his name will always be called at FEM Wall Street because that is the ministry God had used him established and many lives has been impacted through his life, his teaching, preaching and demonstration of the word of God. He has certainly left his foot print everywhere he went..I know he does not missed living down here but is enjoying is beautiful home with is Saviour.. He will forever missed..

I had never met Pastor Smith but I bought a copy of his book "Say No to that Mark". Today I came across a video in which Fox News highlighted that a Finnish MP tweeted a verse from Romans 1 that speaks about homosexuality and is facing 2 year jail time for her belief. The video made me retrieve my copy of Pastor Smith's book for another read. God bless his soul and for his courage in doing what God ordained him to do. May His soul rest in peace and I hope someday to see him in the presence of Jesus. To all of you who loved him, may God comfort you. Blessings and thanks for sharing Pastor Smith with the world.

How can we forget you, you left us with so much knowledge for a life time, and all that you have taught us is happening right now. Back in the nineteens you said “ you think it’s hard now, wait until the Twenties step in”. So said so done. It is here now. The one world Government is also on its way, plus the chip is right behind , all your words, I miss you so very much, Teacher, Pastor, and my dear friend. Love forever. I wonder “How is Miss Buela donkey doing ? Only the old timers know what l am talking about. So long,,,,

If LS was here, it would be another year of celebration, 63 years. Of course, this cannot compare to his heavenly celebration around the throne of God. His teaching is coming to past right before our eyes. He was a true man of God, a pastor and friend to many, a husband and a brother. Mission accomplished indeed!! He is greatly missed and will forever be in my heart

There is not a day that goes by that I have not thought of you brother. I have already sent you my tribute via social media. I miss you so much because I know things would be different in all respects. You were the calming presence. I am still hearing that song you were humming when I last visited you in the facility. “HIs voice makes a difference “.
Forever remembered forever missed !

There's still a Goshen in NY. LOVE YOU BRO. THE LEGACY YOU WORKED SO HARD TO SECURE STILL REMAINS STRONG. THE ENEMY WILL NOT SEE IT DIE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN AMEN

I pray I told him how much I love him
Rght now, it'd, be too late 'cause he's gone away, oh so far away

But I know he's right there with God in Heaven
And one day eventually we'll be together

A man after God's heart...forever loved...forever missed

As i reflect on how the world has changed drastically, I cant help but remember how you accurately prophesized all that is happening  all around us. You would not believe how the church have become divided along political, social, economical , and of course the plandemic. Believers aren't able to run with the foot men. What is going to happen when the horse men come? Lord Help us. You lived and taught us well. We will be held responsible for what we did with what we heard. Be assured that there a few who have not bowed to the wiles of the devil. Praise God

From Sis. Janice McEwen - Trinidad

To a dear pastor- I will always love you. I will never forget you. You are always in my thoughts and my life and whatever I try to do I will remember what you taught me. I remember the story when you lost your briefcase at the airport and you asked the Lord to send the person who found it back to you. Lo and behold shortly after I saw a man coming towards you with your briefcase. Those words resonate with me to this day and I always call upon the Lord when I am missing anything and it always shows up! I never knew how to pray until I came to FEM; I never knew about faith until you taught me and I receive that message and became prosperous in all my endeavors. I want to thank you wholeheartedly. I love you Pastor and am happy to be a part of your family.

LS, I just cannot believe that it is nine years already since you left us but whether I believe it or not it is nine years. I paused to reflect on things you would say or do and just smile. I now it is well with you but we have to be fighting to stay in this race. We are living and experiencing the difficult time you taught us about. Yes, you encouraged us to be steadfast and to keep our eyes on the Lord and by God's grace that is what we are doing. Your name is called ever so often especially by the FEMITES, in prayers and conversation, oh we appreciate and cherish the foundation you have laid, now it is up to us to continue building on it. LS you are missed and forever remembered. God knows best. REST IN PEACE!!

Another year of celebration! It seems as though it were yesterday you left us- not a day passes that you are not thought of Dave. I heard one of your favorite songs yesterday "His voice makes a difference" and I just broke down. So many vivid memories of you bro.  Today I mustered the courage to post tributes to all whom you have blessed while you were with us and am encouraged by the positive feedback knowing that you have impacted so many lives. Today is a special one for us especially since it was on this date that mom's memorial service was held in New York (3 years ago). Is this a coincidence or divine appointment? I think its the latter bro. Your legacy is being kept alive- thank God for His willing vessels at FEM especially.
Forever missed forever remembered Dave! Rest in peace.

Pastor Smith and Marjorie Smith go hand in hand. They help make come alive the passages in Scripture. Things I had not known Pastor Smith and Marjorie Smith showed with love, faith, healing, prophesy, deliverence, and renewal of mind and spirit. On this day we celebrate the birthday of Pastor Smith, who is forevermore alive and with the Lord.
My dream of Pastor Smith a few weeks ago, was that, in Heaven, his church was glorious and prosperous.
The Lords prayer: Our father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thine name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever, Amen.
Truly, Pastor Smith is a true man of God. Thank you Sister Marjorie and Faith Evangelistic Ministries for your work and faith.

Pastor Smith was the first person to tell us about the Mark of the beast. I use to watch him on Saturday Morning in Jamaica. SAY NO TO THE Mark RIP.

I was a toddler when I started watching you, Prophet. I remembered those early Saturdays, sitting with my mom, sucking my thumb and watching your reasonings and analytics. I loved how you would use your marker and break down everything for us on your board and I remembered when you use to show us your book, Say No To That Mark. You're eternally missed by me and my mom. Our Saturdays are broken. There is no more Saturdays. I am now 22 years old, sir and I would like to say thank you. Thank you for opening our eyes to the demons trying to turn us into their wandering, headless sheep. There is no Resting In Peace for Ancestors like you. You aren't resting. You are working beyond the realms opening more eyes to the Pale Horse. You are not Resting In Peace. You are working as our Ancestors beyond this realm, fighting to open our eyes to the Pale Horse.

Hello everyone: friends and family of Pastor Smith. i`m from Jamaica and many years ago i used to watch Pastor Smith`s program and he educated me on all that was going to happened. i once had one of his book titled "Say No To That Mark" which i lend a friend and he never returned it. with all that`s happening now i was searching the internet to find whatever i can about Pastor Smith and his message. he was truly a prophet and man of God because he spoke of all these things.

How time as flown by. Its no coincidence that we celebrated mom's home going on the same day you went home. I guess you both are embracing each other and enjoying been with your Lord and savior. As i listened to your awesome prophetic message about the " End Time" yesterday. i truly had to remind myself that you are not with us anymore.  It felt so energized and real
so I had to draw back the curtains. You are still alive and well in our hearts. Words cannot still express how missed you are, but we take comfort in the hope of the resurrection. O what a sunrise it's going to be. Cant wait. Continue to rest  . We will meet again. on that great getting up morning

- A New beginning
A New Year
...Still, there are tears

All these tributes for this friend of ours
He's blessed always
I know he was ready
God knows he was ready
- so continue in prayer I say

No more sadness and weeping
For he's no longer sleeping
...angels did pray
And so even after today
Our love remains
Sadly, t's for his blessing that he
He had to go away

God's got his back
- peace

Gone but not forgotten
he ministered on the island of Manhattan
Weekly he poured out his heart
People came from so far because they were
Hungry for the prophetic 
His compassionate heart will never depart from the ones who loved him we will forever remember our mentor and a prophetic legend
Rejoicing in heaven

Dave I will try to muster the courage to pen this tribute. I started from last night just reflecting on the memories and found myself submerged in flood of emotions. Still visualizing you in that bed in rehab asking all of us to sing one of your favorite songs that still stands out to this day. i.e., "His voice makes the difference" I can't sing it without getting teary-eyed but I have to tell myself you would not want me to be pining away. It's eight years for you and one year since mom's home-going (is this mere coincidence?) Your name will forever be called - Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. Your book Say No To That Mark is even more relevant today. Anyway, I must put a comma to this narrative not a full stop. Rest on my dearly beloved. I find solace in the words of an anonymous poet...."Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away" We are making sure Sis. Marjorie is being taken care of... Bye bye until we meet again... Sister Dawn (twin)

5 star general indeed. Didn't spend a lot of time with you uncle but I always looked up to you, as an established business leader as well as a man of GOD. You touched many lives and our family has lost one of its main pillars. Sometimes I ask why did GOD have to take you home so soon, however after analyzing the whole cycle of life, I have come to the conclusion that it's not in our hands and instead of asking why I can only say THANK YOU JESUS. You are in a better place , a place where most won't get to see , I hope that we as family and friends can use your life as an example of how GOD can change our situation once we are totally committed to him and put away our petty differences and continue on with your vision .Yes we miss your physical presence but we have no doubt you are conversating with the great apostles in the bible you often taught people about. So for that I SALUTE YOU mi GENERAL. Bless up Your nephew Dameon
