REFRESHING STREAMS EVENTS
Posted on January 5, 2026 Leave a Comment
In today’s world, with numerous competing voices, it is imperative that we learn to hear God’s voice not only for us but to speak words of truth and encouragement for others. We are all wired to hear from God and learn the many ways He speaks to us. With this in mind, Refreshing Streams is planning two events this month of January. There will be more like it, plus other ministry events, both ONLINE and IN-PERSON this year. Stay tuned. If you are not on our email list and would like to be, email us at donna@refreshingstreams.com and ask to be added to the list.
ONLINE
Saturday, January 24, from 1-3 p.m., EASTERN TIME, Refreshing Streams will host an ONLINE event. Zoom information below. You must register through Zoom to attend this online session. That link is:

We will present a short teaching on the prophetic gift that everyone can prophesy, and then we’ll practice. We did this in person in November and December with a few people, and it turned out great! We will be planning more of these for this year, as well as other things, too.
IN-PERSON
The same event will be held in person, the day before, on Friday, January 23, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Smith House in Akron. Please let us know by emailing us if you plan to attend this IN-PERSON event.
Please contact us with any questions. Our email is donna@refreshingstreams.com.
The Days of Noah – Part 2 – Enoch
Posted on June 18, 2025 Leave a Comment
One of my favorite Bible characters is Enoch, the sixth from Adam, who lived only 365 years on earth. Did you know that he is quoted in the Bible? He is the only extrabiblical source mentioned in the Word of God. Jude quotes Enoch, and Peter refers to him.
What is it about Enoch that makes him so special? We’ll take a look, and I hope you’ll come to love Enoch as much as I do.

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.[1]”

What Gospel Are You Preaching-Part 1
Posted on March 13, 2025 Leave a Comment
When Facebook began to explode about 15 years ago, everyone was sharing their day with each other. “Oh wow! I haven’t seen you in years!” “How are you doing?” “I’m so glad to be able to keep in touch with you!” Remember those days?
Posts were often mundane, but we were sharing our lives with others. Keeping in touch was the primary goal that those four college graduates had in mind.
“I’m doing the laundry now.” “I’m going to the grocery store.”

Do I Deserve to be Here – Part 3
Posted on September 25, 2024 3 Comments
Parts 1 & 2 were written before I knew my whole story. I knew most of it, but not all when I wrote those two posts in 2019. Late in 2019, I recorded a video testimony to my church about my comprehensive deliverance from negative spiritual forces. New information came to me in early 2021, which I have not made public on this blog before.

For much of my life, rejection had me in a stranglehold. Even though I knew Christ, I did not get healed and delivered for over thirty years. As God completes this part of my healing journey, I will share how learning my origins has shown me God’s sovereignty and unadulterated love. If you need healing, there will be prayer. Even though many who were conceived as I was (think of the worst way possible, and you are probably right) are aborted because no one wants that stigma. I will share about that in the meeting. It’s not a stigma for me – it’s a banner to show how it does not affect me because of Whose I am. My “deformities” are slight in comparison to others. They were dealt with when I was a baby and a child, and they don’t hold me back.
This event is sponsored by Ezekiel Tree Ministries, founded by my wonderful GATS seminary friend, Beth Irwin, who has a wonderful testimony as well.
Stay tuned for other events sponsored by Refreshing Streams, the healing and equipping ministry of Donna & Kirby Smith. We will have both ONLINE and IN-PERSON events in October 2024.
