Australian National Run

After never having a serious accident in my life. Yesterday that came to an end. I have a broken collar bone and I'm sitting in hospital 15 min from the Run sight. The picture is taken on the side of the road with the nice Ambulance man and in Hospital. Thanks for the Prayers.

Northern NSW at Zac's Place

Vintage Smithy tells it like it is . . .

A diverse audience of around 150 people gathered in the packed bar - bikers, musicians, artists, believers, seekers and cynics among them . . . . for a few moments the pool table, pinball machine and the bar fell silent . . . . John Smith reflects on two stories and opens up the 'old book' in a way that only he does, in a bar.




This recording was made back in 2002 in the public bar of a city centre pub in Swansea, South Wales, at a gathering hosted by Zac's Place.

More reflections from John are available on this podcast

Reflection from a life on the road ...

God's Squad International President, John Smith, reflects on Mark's Gospel Chapter 6 and the importance of a radically transformed life out on the road.
This excerpt was recorded in UK, August 2010, in a gathering of God's Squad members and guests from eight nations. When most people of his age are thinking of slowing down, John continues to stir the pot and encourage the church to action.
