K\u00e5re J. Smith is both an inspiration and a driving force behind many of the rejuvenating initiatives that have been put into effect since the 1990s. And at the age of 74, he uses new, modern tools in his preaching.<\/h3>\n

This interview was first published in BCC\u00b4s annual report for 2018. Read the annual report here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

K\u00e5re J. Smith has had a hectic year in 2018. He lives in the United States and travels all over the world to speak to those who want to hear the message that leads to godliness. At BCC\u2019s international conferences at Brunstad, he speaks the word of God at numerous gatherings throughout the whole year. And his commitment to children and youth is still evident in most of what he does.<\/p>\n

Using new technology to preach the gospel<\/h3>\n

In 2018 alone, Smith contributed to 211 episodes of the podcast \u201cFrom K\u00e5re.\u201d The podcast has about 8,000 daily listeners and is translated to 16 languages. Each episode is around 10 minutes long and contains inspiring conversations about various topics and stories from week to week.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany valuable broadcasts have become possible because in development if technology. We make use of everything that can assist with the advancement of the gospel,\u201d says the elderly man.<\/p>\n

K\u00e5re J. Smith will soon turn 75. He may at times thunder from the podium, but when we meet face-to-face, we see the gentle and warm side, and a relaxed and smiling person. He believes we have only seen the beginning of what digital platforms and tools will mean for the church going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not getting any younger, and constantly traveling here and there is becoming more difficult. But preaching the gospel about Jesus to people still burns as strongly in me. So what I want to achieve in the ministry of the Word in the years to come will most likely require me to use BrunstadTV and other digital tools more and more to reach those who want to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Went in for using TV-broadcasting technology 20 years ago<\/h3>\n

Over the past 10 years, BCC has invested millions in the development of its TV channel and other web platforms. Its vision was to first create a technically competent production environment and quality content for the church\u2019s own members in Norway and elsewhere around the world. When production and content quality have reached sufficient levels, and when the time is right, it will be made available to everyone interested in the Christian message.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted us to start with program production at BrunstadTV so that children could have a positive alternative to much of the bad content that exists on many other channels,\u201d says Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it will be developed further, and slowly but surely we\u2019ll also have several programs that might be of interest to both children and youth both in and outside of BCC.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what he thinks is most interesting to share with those who have not yet heard of BCC, he answers quickly:<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe it\u2019s the literature we have from Johan Oscar Smith, his letters and the articles he has written for the Hidden Treasures periodical will be very interesting to read for many more than those who are members of the congregation today. So, I send the challenge over to those working on this in BCC. We need to develop and improve so that more people can read, hear, and see the preaching that leads to a life of godliness.\u201d<\/p>\n

READ: What actually happened to Johan O. Smith\u00b4s letters?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Love is central<\/h3>\n

\u201cIn our preaching, the message of love is central, and it is a positive force in family life. We see that what the Bible calls sin creates sorrow and pain, and love of many becomes cold both in families and in everyday life. The message Jesus brought helps us show our spouse goodness and warmth, so that love can continue to grow and develop. In addition, we must be kind and accommodating towards children and young people who are growing up. This is true Christianity,\u201d says Smith with emphasis.<\/p>\n

He continues to explain how the Holy Spirit works in us to will and to do what is good. When the Spirit is allowed to lead us, we also show love in difficult times; we are good to everyone, and both to our own and others\u2019 children.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are not in constant renewal in our lives and in the church, we fall into habits and indifference that is not worthy of God\u2019s kingdom”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A driving force in the work for children and youth<\/h3>\n

Another issue that has characterized K\u00e5re J. Smith\u2019s dedication is the commitment to create positive options for children and youth. He has been a driving force for this right since the mid-1990s. Because Smith has prioritized working with children, decades have been spent developing child and youth ministries in most of the local churches around the world. At conferences BCC has organized children\u2019s days with games and activities alongside faith-building meetings. Many members have good childhood memories of this.<\/p>\n

Since 2015, BCC has also held its own youth camps<\/a>, which has rejuvenated the international youth work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are not in constant renewal in our lives and in the church, we fall into habits and indifference that is not worthy of God\u2019s kingdom. I believe that renewal is in the Holy Spirit. It is inventive, and when we have a love for those we serve, we get ideas,\u201d says Smith. He continues,<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me as an older man, I am delighted to see the joy and enthusiasm of the youth and I rejoice in my heart when I see young people being gripped of Jesus\u2019 life. That is why we do all of this. We want individuals to come in contact with Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honesty and righteousness<\/h3>\n

It is without a doubt that K\u00e5re J. Smith has experienced strong criticism in the media for several years. We asked him if this has affected his involvement regarding work in the church.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my whole life I have emphasized being fair and honest, and I have worked hard to earn my own money,\u201d says Smith. \u201cI don\u2019t care much about getting criticism. I have become quite used to it, and I can endure a lot. However, when the media and other sources want to criminalize us, then I can get exasperated or even quite upset,\u201d he says firmly.<\/p>\n

Smith has also been a passionate about fundraising, and has dared to say out loud what many may ignore: \u201cYou can\u2019t save the world if you\u2019re broke!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Christians we cannot wait for the government to solve our finances, which would limit our work anyway. That is why we have taken the initiative ourselves, and members have shown a tremendous commitment over many years. They know what we stand for and they see what the money that BCC collects is used for. We have already been able to do a lot of good through this, especially for children and young people and to provide for them in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
