Welcome To Ishmaels Website

Are you able to give to help support Ish's ministry?

Having served the Lord by faithfully ministering to all ages for nearly 40 years, Ish has become a household name that can be trusted. Over these many years his life has not slowed down and today he is busier than ever. However, he does have ongoing financial needs and his prayer is that some of those who have really benefitted from his ministry and support his work may be in the position to help out in this area so he can continue to share his ministry with even more of the younger generation.

Gifts would be gratefully received to assist the costs to enable Ish to travel and minister to children and families in churches, area's and countries that have little or no money.

The new exciting role
Ish has just been ordained and taken on the new role as Missioner / Evangelist Deacon at Chichester Cathedral. This is a none salaried role. He will still continue to be financially supported by his primary ministry of travelling and ministering to families and children at home and abroad and by the generosity of Christians who support what he does.

Why ordination ?
There are two main reasons why he believes that it is in God's plan to train for ordination and then become part of the Cathedral clergy. The first is that even with a busy travelling ministry, he believes it is very important to be active in his local church, albeit a Cathedral and by being part of the clergy it will open up some wonderful evangelistic opportunities inside the Cathedral.. The second reason is that being in an ordained position, he believes that God will open up even more wonderful new evangelistic opportunties as he is sent out from the Cathedral on his travels.

Gifts would be gratefully received for his continued personal support and living expenses.

Ish receives no regular income. His life and ministry have always mainly been financially supported by the sales of resources and the generous giving from those who appreciate his ministry.

If you feel you would like to give a gift, (cheque payable Revd Ian Smale) however large or small to further enhance the work in any of the areas mentioned above, please send your donations directly to Ish at:
