Zollie Smith, New U.S. Missions Executive Director

Reverend Zollie L. Smith, Jr. was elected to serve as the U.S. Missions executive director at the 52nd General Council. He is presently serving as the Executive Secretary of the New Jersey District Council of the Assemblies of God.

“Assemblies of God get ready, get ready, get ready,” an impassioned Smith said moments after the election results were announced. “We together are going to invade America and we are going to go into the cities and the highways and byways and take back what the devil has taken away.”

Smith, 58, praised the Assemblies of God for permitting and promoting diversity. “We today can testify that God moves through His leaders to bring about His end results,” he said, with his wife Phyllis accompanying him.

Smith will fulfill the unexpired term of Alton Garrison, who was elected the Assistant Superintendent, beginning in October.
