...even so them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him...we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep...For the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thess 4: 13-18
Soon to be together, for ever, Hallelujah. Diane

I purchased some old audio cassettes of Barry's preaching on 10 July 2001.
I listened to them that night and was astounded to hear about the attack on the USA the very next morning. This was a very strange coincidence. I still have those tapes and will always treasure the experience of listening to them again and again. Barry made Christianity sound so simple and easy. What an encouragement he really was in a time of great spiritual heaviness. He was an inspiration to me and I am sure to countless others.
May his family especially feel his closeness now even more than they did before he passed on to his reward. I ask this in the name of our eternal Saviour, Jesus Christ, Our Divine Lord. Amen.

My sympathy goes to all Barry's family and friends and especially May who must be missing him dreadfully.
I suppose like most people my reaction when I found out Barry had died was shock and sadness. I heard Barry speak at Elim in Northampton, England about 2 years ago and feel that I have lost a trusted mentor. I am so glad he made the videos and wrote the books so we have not lost all the knowledge he gained during his lifetime.
Heaven is the place for a special man like Barry and I'm looking forward to catching up with him when I get there.
Love Angie

Dear May and family,
Wendy and I are ministering in the USA, and have only just heard of Barry's passing. Please accept our deepest condolences at this time.
I was very fond of Barry and the few times we caught up with each other in Australia always made for great discussion and debate. I always thought that he would see the end, however I know that he was tired and ready to go home to be with the Lord.
We will lift you all up in prayer and we know the Lord our God is strengthening you in this time.
God bless
your servant in Christ
Gary

Dear May and family
My love and prayers are with you all, I did not know of Barry's death in June.
I was only speaking about the Lord's Comming and Barry's lectures last night with my stepson, we intend watching his video series, from the late 80s, together. These videos ahve been loaned to many young people by my daughter who also attended Barry's lectures.
Barry's teaching was extrordinary and I bless the Lord for having such a fine man of integrity to teach us about the Lord's Comming.
Furthermore, my daughter and I are tachers in a Christian School and Barry's teaching is still bearing fruit as we have the opportunity to share what he taught us with the students.
I am sad he has gone to be with the Lord, I hope you continue his work.
Be compforted that he has done a magnificent work for the Lord during his lifetime, thouching many, many lives.
Love Louise Levy

THANK YOU Barry.
In may 2002 I was a fully fledged Freemason and heavily involved in Freemasonary. My wife became a born again Christian and presented me with one of Barry's Videos, I agreed to watch it scoffing at the contents on the cover. What a shock I had at his claims, after viewing I rushed out and obtained a set of his Videos, and within a week had renounced my involvement in Masonary. I became a born again Christian myself and spoke to the Pastor of my church expressing my desire to see Barry live. I was amased to find that he was coming to Bristol England and attended his lecture, I felt very honoured to meet and speak with him and fulfilled my desire. I was shocked to learn a few days later that barry had passed away on this visit and thank the Lord I was lucky enough to meet him I will always hold a special place in my heart for Barry as it was him who helped me see the light. I look forward to meeting you again Barry
Best regards

I enjoyed those times with the children singing all the songs he has tought them, they are so very special.
Thankyou for sharing him with us I remembered the first time I met him personally down in Invercargill at the apostolic church after the service he came down and I knew he was talking to me I can hear him calling excuse me are you a Samoan he took me to the back of the church where you all were and introduced me to you all, and that was a beginning of a long friendships you were only 7 or 8 years old you mentioned few times at the service God has been good to the Smith's family and the Smith's family has been good to us by sharing this great man with us.
Please give May our regards and hopefully we will see her one of these days.

Dear Smith Family
Stan and I only heard about Barry's passing on Sunday.
We had the opportunity to see him twice. We saw him in Ashford, Kent,UK. We travelled quite some way to see him. My Stan, on seeing Barry, went to greet him and you would have thought that Barry had known Stan for all his life. The love of Jesus shone from him. Thanks.
We all saw him when he came to our town, Clacton on Sea, Essex UK. His preaching had a style of its own, Barry only ever wanted (so it seemed to us) to make Jesus known to so many. He spoke (of course you know this) of end times, we can see those words he spoke becoming reality. I look forward to meeting him again when we meet up in heaven, where our beloved Father, Son and Holy Spirit live and misery will be finished.
God Bless you Dear Smith Family.
With love in Jesus name
Joan and Stan Hannah

Over the last two days I'd been re-reading "PostScript" to see if I should be checking off anything (yeah, I had to) and over dinner I said to my Father "Why don't you ever tell me anything about Barry Smith any more?"
Then came the answer.
My face fell, I was a little taken aback and then - without really thinking - I said "He didn't die, he went to be with Jesus".
I remember hearing Mr Smith saying "I'll meet you in the sky" or something like that, and I know we will!
As I'm Roman Catholic I know we shared different faiths but, I sincerely believe, we were part of the same Body of Christ.
God Bless you, Mr Smith, and your extended family in Christ - those of us still here on Earth and those of us who are united with you in Heaven.
Praise Jesus!

To the Smith Family
I have only just found out that Ps Barry has passed on to be with our Lord. I was firstly saddened by the news and upset.Of course I know he is in a much better place, and I am gladdened by the fact we will meet him one day in our heavenly home. But, oh what a loss!
I have been so blessed by Ps Barry's ministry and since becoming a Christian 13 years ago I have gained so much more insight and revelation into end time events.
I had just now logged onto your site to see if he had written anything recently about the present world events.
I would like to express to you all, my sadness at such loss of a wonderful spirited Godly man, who was not fearful of man and told it as it is. Hell is a real place, so what! if some need to be scared into the Kingdom. We all need the Truth.
May God keep you all safe and comfort you at this time with the beautiful knowledge and vision of Ps Barry healed and happy in the presence of the Lord.
In Christ Jesus

I will try and make this short and sweet but I do have so much to tell you. My parents knew Barry from years ago but I was introduced to him through his books and then having the pleasure to meet him in the flesh on 5 occasions over the last few years including my Uncle Va'a Saipani's funeral, subsequent unveiling, Daniel and Gail Saipani's wedding and then attending his meetings at the Taita Baptist church earlier in the year. I felt like I already knew him before meeting but the few times I had the opportunity to speak with him, he touched my heart in a way I can't describe. The most touching experience for me is when I managed to get my husband along to two of his meetings this year which was was a difficult feat considering a lot of what Barry spoke of in his books was highly controversial in our marriage. It got to a point where Barry's name was banned from our household because it provoked so many arugments. What started out as well intentioned discussions ended up into full blown arguments. The main reason for this is because my husband comes from a family of freemason's and does not accept the teachings of the bible let along what Barry had to say. I have found this difficult because of my faith in Jesus Christ. At the end of the service Barry spoke of a young women in the congragation who had brought her non Christian husband a long and we just both could feel he was speaking to us and my husband was squirming in his chair. His words of encouragment went deep. I spoke of this experience to a friend at the meeting and the following night she relayed my experience to him and he knew me and told her to send his special love to me and remembered our family from years ago. This meant more than words could say and it moved me beyond words. I sensed deep in my heart that he was encouraging me in my faith and I sensed that he did not have long because he had mentioned that he did not have a good heart. He had also on another occasion spoken to my brother and told him to pass on his love to me after my brother had told him about the arguments in our household. Typically Barry had a great sense of humour and said "tell him to sue me!!!!!!!" He had such a huge heart for people and although I though I would be an insignificant one of the many people he had met, he made me feel that I counted and loved by God. There were similarities in that I was half Samoan and his love for the Samoan people did touch me and his undying commitment to the work of Christ in the face of adversity. I am so happy he lived to see the events of September 11 and that he was able to bring more people to Christ. It is such a sad loss that he is gone and unable to bring more people to Christ. He is a huge loss to this world. When I heard of his death I was shocked and it went deeper than other people who are close to me have died. I thought, what a loss!!!!!!!! But the most immediate overwhelming joy came over me that he was with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. That alone brought tears of joy. I am very sad and sorry I could not have been at his funeral due to the price of a airfair at short notice but I am happy that he was farewelled in his home town and with his family. My husband admitted to feeling quite shocked and sad to hear of Barry's death and when we watched the video that May so kindly sent me (saw her at My uncle Moa's funeral in Masterton)he was moved and told me he wished he was still alive so he could get to know him. I don't think I have cried that much in a long time as when I watched Barry's funeral. It was beautiful in every way and really captured the man he is. I will miss him and feel deep sorrow that he is gone but also the legacy he has left behind makes me strong and I really encourage and pray for you Andrew and May who continue his work here on earth. He was and is an amazing man, such a blessing to this earth and my life.

Dear Smith Family
It was with sadness that I received the news of Barry's passing. His ministry has been the biggest inspirtation to me in my short life in the Lord so far. Accepting the Lord's offer of His life in 1995, I came across Barry's videos and ave been hooked on end time prophiecies ever since. His jovial way of putting across the gospel in the midst of predicting doom and gloom was so special.
I pray for the peace of you all during your bereavement and after. may God strengthen you to go on despite this event and other sad ones in the past.
God bless you all.
In Christ we trust

I have just learned of the passing of Pastor Barry Smith. Like millions around the world I am deeply saddened. It was at one of Barry Smith's meetings in Norwich, England, that I became a believer. Years later I had him on my radio show in Cape Town, South Africa.
He was - and will always be - an inspiration. His love of the Lord, his wisdom and his irrepressible jocularity changed people's lives.
Dear, dear May - I know you and the family will take comfort in the sure knowledge that the Lord has called His Pastor Barry home.
Those who were enriched and privileged to meet him will agree that he could say, as did
Job 23:11 My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning
aside.

May I say how much I loved Barry Smith and every time I was one of his meeting in the U.K. I came away enriched and I have many of the videos made of his ministry. My whole family is saddened but thankfully we all know we shall be able to speak at length when we meet him again. All our love in Christ Jesus to you at this time and we shall all be remembering you for the comfort of the Lord to be with you all.
With very fond memories of Barry's very sound doctrine which was so joyous for me personally.

To the Smith family. Barry was an inspiration to me and a great help in my spiritual walk. Although he spoke mainly about prophecy, it was his life and joy which shone across. I learned many things from him and so i'm sure his legacy will continue. Thankyou for sharing him with thousands of believers all around the world. I pray the Lord will be very close to you at this time.
God bless you.
