Craig Smee

Craig was born into a Jehovah’s Witness family in Cape Town, South Africa in 1974. He was brought up during the apartheid years in South Africa and was blessed to finally serve his country as it emerged into a new democracy.

With an interesting and varied past that did not always include a personal relationship with Jesus, Craig has a passion for the downtrodden and loves to see Jesus step into situations and radically change lives for the better.

Craig describes his wife Leanne as “his biggest influence and someone who has the most amazing, genuine relationship with God.” Leanne serves with Craig in ministry and has, for the last number of years, home schooled their 3 children, Kevin, Bianca and Kyle – all of whom are Christ followers.

In the last 20 years Craig has been used to plant and pastor multiple churches, led at an executive level across Africa and Europe in the telecommunications and banking industries, became a sought after expert in social and digital marketing and communications and became a known international speaker and preacher. Craig serves as a pastor in the United States, heads an international non-profit organization that builds and assists local churches in South Africa and consults with churches globally on strategy and the use of digital communication and social media to connect church and spread the gospel.
