I'm delighted to share that the article about my dear mother, Rev Dr Io Smith MBE, has now been published in Keep The Faith Magazine.

The feature highlights her extraordinary legacy and shares the vision behind the Rev Dr Io Smith MBE Foundation, the Legacy Awards, and our Celebration Service on 19th September 2026.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. I would be so grateful if you could read the article, share it with others, and help us celebrate a life that continues to inspire generations.

With love and blessings,

Rev Dr Sheila

"They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations."
Isaiah 61:4

Our 2026 mission to Mombasa, Kenya, was a remarkable time of ministry, partnership, and transformation. While the mission included teaching, preaching, community outreach, pastoral ministry, and support for vulnerable communities, its greatest achievement was witnessing the continuing impact of a vision that is changing lives every day.

Transforming Lives Through Education

"Education is one of the greatest gifts we can give a child. It opens doors, restores hope, and creates opportunities that can change the course of a life forever."

The Rev Dr Sheila Sponsorship Programme was established with one clear purpose: to ensure that children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds have the opportunity to receive an education and fulfil their God-given potential.

Dr Sheila Belgrave was awarded the ‘Wise Woman Award’ in the leadership category on Saturday 9th March 2024.

Sheila was recognised for her work in ministry, the community and in education to name a few of her achievements.

My mother was a fearless fighter a tireless preacher, an imparter of the truth, a comforter of the wounded, a feeder of the hungry a champion of the marginalised and outcast of society and a mother to the motherless.
