Oswald J. Smith (1889–1986) — Missionsprediger · Evangelikal · Kanada
Oswald J. Smith (1889–1986) war ein kanadischer evangelikaler Pastor, Liederdichter und Gründer der unabhängigen Großgemeinde The Peoples Church in Toronto. Er widmete sein Wirken vor allem der weltweiten Evangelisation und schuf einflussreiche Modelle zur Finanzierung von Missionaren, stieß jedoch mit seinem stark erwecklichen Predigtstil bei traditionellen Kirchen auch auf Vorbehalte. Bibellesern begegnet Smith heute vor allem durch pointierte Zitate, die zu persönlicher Hingabe, Gebet und der praktischen Unterstützung der weltweiten Mission aufrufen.
