ABOUT

Evelina Smane is a missionary evangelist who has dedicated her life to spreading the Gospel around the world. At the age of 15, she received Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

Evelina was born and raised in Riga, Latvia and currently calls Tanzania, Africa home. She is the founder of the charity organization Voice International, an author and an ordained minister of the Gospel with Christ for all Nations in Orlando, FL.

Evelina has been in full-time ministry since she was 18 years old.

Whether playing with orphans, traveling to encourage churches across Europe and the United States, or sharing the Gospel in Africa, Evelina’s mission remains the same – to see people experience the love of Jesus and surrender their lives fully to Him.

“Mother Teresa became an example for me, a representation of love and dedication to God and people at the age of five,” says Evelina. “My mom played me videotapes about her and her ministry, and I watched them many times at home. From an early age, a desire appeared in my heart to help those in need. I saw how my mother helped grandmothers on the street. And the older I got, the more this desire increased in me - to go where nobody wants to go. To go to the dying and forgotten people, in the most remote corners of the earth, and tell them that they have a hope and future. I understood then and I understand now that I can’t change the whole world, but I can change the world of one person, just like you can!”

When Evelina was 23 years old, she built her first church in Tanzania, in the village of Kazuramimba. In remote villages of Africa, wells with clean water were dug. Hundreds of children received assistance, and at the moment her ministry is taking care of 10 children.

Over the years of her ministry, Evelina has planted and built several churches, led hundreds of evangelism outreaches, children’s programs, was a guest speaker at conferences around the world and always pointed people to Jesus because He alone is worthy of it all.

Evelina studied psychotherapy at the Institute of Humanist and Existential Psychology in Lithuania, graduated from the New Generation International Bible College in Ukraine and the Slavic Missionary Bible School in the USA (Jacksonville, Florida), as well as the Harvest School of Missions in Mozambique (Africa) under the guidance of Heidi and Roland Baker and completed the first evangelism bootcamp led by Evangelist Daniel Kolenda, who is the successor of Reinhard Bonnke.

“He is worthy of laying our entire lives down at His feet,” assures Evelina, and encourages people to fulfill God's mission on this earth.

“Jesus loves each of us, and He is very close to us. The great God needs simple people who will agree to live by Him, who will let Him act through them. Dream great dreams with Jesus! Even if you don't have the resources or finances, don't be afraid to give yourself completely to Jesus, – to give your youth, your time, your talents, your beauty. He will always give you back more.

He is ready to show His strength through your weakness. He wants to reach the unreachable through you. He wants to heal broken hearts through you. Jesus is ready to walk with your feet and speak through your mouth, bringing hope to the most remote corners of the Earth.  One has only to say to Him, “Here I am, send me!”, and you will see miracles and understand how great His love is for you and for the perishing world. Jesus wants to make a history through you— are you ready?”
