Dr. Terika Smith

Dr. Terika Smith is the President, Founder of Terika Smith Ministries and President/ Pastor of Flowing Rivers International Church located in Lawrence, MA. She is the author of Except the Lord: When God Became the Builder and Write the Vision, Make it Plain Books.

A lifelong educator at heart, she served for over 20 years in the field of education holding positions ranging from classroom teacher, where she taught Spanish, track and field coach,

athletic director, high school principal, college professor and State of MA consultant among others. Following her love of the Lord, she left secular education to serve full time as Pastor of the Lawrence Evangelical Church. From there, she served the local community of Lawrence in ministry. During her tenure as pastor and prior to the founding of the church she currently pastors, Dr. Smith funded the institute, Send Me Minister in Training which is now partnered with IBAD in Brazil making it an international institute preparing men and women of all ages in the Word of God.

Her personal hat reveals her as mother and grandmother. In 2010, her life was changed for the better, as she writes about in her book, Except the Lord: When God Became the Builder. Her daughter, Karen entered her life as a teenager; Karen is now an adult, married to a wonderful husband, Rich. Together they have three children and are building a life to impact the world.

It is no secret to those who know her that there is no stopping Dr. Smith. Her passion for people and her passion to minister the Word of God has placed her in environments that are hungry for fresh manna. When Dr. Smith steps into a pulpit or a classroom, her constant prayer to God is for fresh manna for the people she stands before. One of her constant gratitude to God is that she may repeat a text but never a message. Her philosophy here is that, “EVERYONE needs a word relevant to them, timely to meet THEIR needs.”

She has ministered in parts of the US, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil, Zambia, Africa, Guatemala, and Puerto Rico. As the Lord has used her, thousands of lives have been transformed as she moves in the prophetic word leading to healings and deliverances from spiritual bondages.

Her passion grows more every day knowing that if she can bring to others what God brought to her it can also change the lives of many around the world.

Dr. Smith’s passion for people can also be seen in her humanitarian work. Her history records her services in Mexico where she helped countless orphans who resided in an orphanage as well as infants with cleft palates. In Africa her along with her ministry supported the schooling of children in Mombasa, Kenya and most recently, Zambia, Africa.

In moments of disaster, her and her team have risen to provide relief to countless families in her local community, Puerto Rico, Guatemala and Brazil.
