Don Smith, DOM for Winston Association, announces retirement

WINSTON ASSOCIATION

Don Smith says every year brings gratitude for what God has done and is continuing to do. That’s the way he feels when he looks back over his 44 years in ministry.

And when he thinks back over the past five years as director of missions for Winston Baptist Association, he thanks God for that opportunity. He recently announced that he plans to retire Dec. 31.

“The friendships made will always be cherished,” he said. “Pam and I have always felt welcomed by each church in the association.”

Before coming to Winston Association, Smith served for 13 years as an associational missionary at Sequoia Baptist Association in Visalia, California. Before that, he served as pastor of two churches in Washington state.

After he retires, Smith plans to live in Grant and continue supply preaching and interim ministry “as long as God opens the doors.” (Winston)
