Evelina Smane is an ordained minister of the Gospel by Christ for all Nations and the founder and visionary behind Voice International, a mission-driven organization dedicated to empowering individuals and transforming lives. She is also the founder of the Baptism of Love Mission School, which provides hands-on mission training and discipleship in Tanzania, and the founder of The Father’s House, a home for vulnerable children, where they receive love, stability, and the opportunity to grow in faith. The Father’s House is committed to providing not only a safe and nurturing environment but also access to quality education, equipping children with the knowledge and skills they need for a brighter future.
Evelina first founded her organization in Latvia at the age of 18, organizing outreaches and leading teams to children’s homes, elderly care facilities, and hospitals to share the Gospel and serve those in need.
In 2014, she expanded her mission to Tanzania, dedicating her life to reaching the unreached. Over the past 11 years, she has been actively serving as a missionary-evangelist in Tanzania, building churches, establishing schools, distributing Bibles to the Maasai communities, drilling water wells in remote areas, bringing aid – including food and clothing, and bringing the Good News as the foundation of this mission – because at its core, this organization is built on the Gospel.
Currently, The Father’s House cares for 12 children , but the need is far greater. There are many more children who require a safe place to grow, heal, and be nurtured. That is why Evelina and her team are working toward expanding into Father’s Villages – a broader initiative to create homes and communities that can accommodate more children and provide them with stability, education, and discipleship.
She is also developing a ministry center focused on providing jobs, breaking cycles of poverty, and creating sustainable solutions. The children who graduate from The Father’s House will have the opportunity to work at the ministry center, equipping them to build a future for themselves and bring change to their own communities.
This mission stands on the truth of Proverbs 31:8-9: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
Evelina’s leadership is guided by a deep passion for people and a heart for serving others. Her mission continues to grow, reaching new places and inspiring others to step into their calling, bringing the hope of Jesus where it is needed most.
