Today we’d like to introduce you to Shavon Smith. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Shavon Smith, a native of Norfolk, Virginia, is a mighty woman of God who demonstrates God’s love to others throughout the country. Her love for God and her commitment to serving and helping others is evident through her lifestyle of service. Her walk is evident in her obedience and willingness to trust God in all things. Her full-time mission is to ignite a renewed passion for God in the hearts of men and women everywhere. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from Norfolk State University.
Sought after nationally to minister God’s Word in conferences and retreats, she has also authored eight powerful books. In addition to being an author, she started her musical journey with her single “Supreme God” and produced recordings of Prayers for Intercession Volumes I and II and Life After Divorce DVD to help others deal with traumatic experiences. Shavon walks boldly in her anointing and in her calling and is featured as a cast member on Bishop T.D. Jakes The Gospel – Season 2 – The Best Preacher You Never Heard. Here she shares her journey as a woman in ministry and humbling herself to do the will of the Lord.
In 2012, Shavon founded Shavon Sellers Ministries, now Shavon Smith Ministries, whose vision is to spread the love of God, ignite the passion of God in others throughout the Kingdom, and assist others in carrying out their God-given assignments and fulfill purpose. Being led by the Holy Spirit, in May 2016 she planted The Life Center in Portsmouth, VA where the vision is to be the voice and hands on the earth that will help people find their way back to God and begin a new life through Him. During her tenure as Pastor, it was her desire to revive believers, reach lost souls, and connect people with the Savior. In August 2019, God required Shavon to release her role as Pastor of The Life Center.
A business entrepreneur and trailblazer, Shavon founded the Prize Publishing House in 2019 and Prize Marketing Consultants in 2021. Shavon is the wife of Pastor Cheyenne Smith and together they are the proud parents of three boys and five girls.
A woman of many accomplishments and esteemed value, in 2022, she fully embraced her calling as a prophet of the Lord and is dedicated to making known the Word of God and calling others back to obedience to God. Led by the Lord, she and her family relocated to Dallas, Texas in 2022 and she is now fully committed to traveling to spread the gospel and reaching and empowering others through Shavon Smith Ministries.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The journey has not been a smooth road. I do not believe that the road for anyone who is called to be a disruptor or to do anything different will be smooth. Opposition comes from several angles, and it comes from your own kind such as family and those close to you. Others may not always see what you see. I have dealt with having to uproot everything I have known for years and with others not understanding my decisions. It all came with great sacrifices, losses, and walking away from people I loved for what I am called to do, often being mislabeled because of my stance. Sometimes my standards are deemed as self-centered and perceived in a negative manner because I am passionate about my beliefs and stand on the word of God. They even call me P-Diddy because of my approach sometimes. Having people who will take advantage of your heart has not been easy, but it has been worth it.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Shavon Smith, a native of Norfolk, Virginia, is a #1 Best selling author and serialpreneur who has ignited the hearts of people across the globe through the message of purpose, faith, and love. After her televised appearance on “The Best Preacher You’ve Never Heard, Smith became a high-rising media influencer. As a pastor and mentor, she is committed to a lifestyle of service that promotes permanent change and enhanced authenticity. Her journey as a serialpreneur and trailblazer has allowed her the liberty to launch a marketing organization, publishing house, and non-profit organization for human trafficking victims by preparing them for society. This highly sought-after speaker strives to impact the world by empowering others through real-life demonstration. Her #1 goal is to leave a legacy for her loving husband and eight children that will shift generations indefinitely.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
In the next 5-10 years, I see myself becoming a staple in the community and impacting different genres and age groups to be better holistically. It is my goal to focus more on the youth, establish a youth camp, and go into schools to help troubled kids. My desire is to start a rehabilitation center for troubled youth with parental issues and to provide counseling and behavioral modification. Ultimately, they can graduate from the program and become well-rounded citizens.
I would also like to expand my ministry and businesses nationally. In 5-10 years, I would love to be spreading the word of God internationally as much as in the states and to travel to do missions in other countries. My businesses will also prayerfully have multiple locations and entities.
A shift for me would be to invade secular spaces and become a voice for athletes and entertainers.
