Pastor Fred Smolchuck Jr was my pastor for a few years in Tulsa, Oklahoma and helped guide me into an appreciation for the Word of God.

I am now a missionary and have lived in Doha, Qatar and do missionary work in the Philippines, including having started an orphanage over there.

My condolences and prayers go out to the family as I remember many times Fred Jr would mention his heritage in his sermons in the early 70s.

We are blessed to have had a relationship with Pastor Fred, Jr & Jetta Smolchuck and family for 37 years, beginning at Central AOG, Tulsa, OK and including their pastorate @ First AOG, Saginaw, MI.

Though we never met Reverend Fred, Sr & Stella Smolchuck, we certainly have known them thru their children and grandchildren! Thru them, the Smolchuck family has made a wonderful impact on our family!

We are forever grateful to God for this family!

The accomplishments of God’s work in
the lifetime of this Christian giant is one that stands far above those I have ever known. It all started with a carring woman that brought the word of the Lord to the Smolchucks many years ago. It is a blessing how that seed has grown and developed into a wonderful family of believers. I could only pray that in our lifetime many more will become Christian giants because of the love and caring that Fred Sr. has shown to so many during his lifetime. He is now rewarded into God’s mighty Kindgom of Heaven.

I have been so blessed to read all that this man of God has accomplished in his lifetime! Being a part of Fred Jr., (and Randal’s) years of training and instruction in righteousness is a tribute to Fred Sr.~his generations in the ministry influencing, teaching and discipling us believers for God’s kingdom!

I had the privilege of having this wonderful man of God and his wife in my home for
dinner 18 years ago in Petoskey, Michigan. I felt as if I was entertaining angels.
When they spoke such rich wisdom and fun came from their mouths. I am honored to have
known him. Susi Sherman Bassett, Palm Desert, CA

Hi Randal: My Grandmother was a very spiritual person and her brother was a Baptist preacher in Colorada. I was always so proud of them for teaching God’s word. You continue the legacy. We are so proud of you. TJ and Cheryl
