Dale has been a supporter and encourager for the ministry of Evangelism in the Prophetic Spirit since its beginning.  His friendship and leadership in developing Kimball’s pension plan have been invaluable. Kimball’s first evangelism event was a Pasadena District gathering at Dale’s church. Dale Smith, at the age of 95, still serves on the ministry’s Board of Directors.
 
The Rev. Dr. Lew Fry and Mrs. Alma Roberts, who are former recipients of the Bishop’s Award are also members of the Board of Directors.  They, too, have given their creative gifts and strong leadership throughout our 44 years of doing this ministry of evangelism.
 
As an annual tradition, our Bishops have honored distinguished clergy and laypersons who have devoted their lives to extraordinary service for The California-Pacific Annual Conference. Kimball and Dale’s biographies will be posted online at calpacumc.org/ac2023/.
