Amanda Berry Smith: Evangelist to the World - Black Church (Matthew 28:18-20)
Source: Biographical illustration77 words
Amanda Berry Smith was born into slavery, became a washerwoman, and then—against every social expectation—became an international evangelist. She preached in India, Africa, and across America. White church leaders often refused her a platform; she went where doors opened. "Go and make disciples of ALL nations"—she took that personally. God's Commission overrules human hierarchies. Smith said, "God uses the weak to confound the mighty." The Great Commission belongs to everyone Christ calls, regardless of what society says.
