Healing Hearts
Christian Foundation
Lawrence Truett Smith joined the United States Navy during WWII when he was 15 years old. He served in the Navy making several war patrols aboard the submarine USS Silversides. After his discharge from the Navy he returned to his hometown and completed high school. He then enrolled at Texas A&M University and graduated with a degree in Agricultural Education.
Truett valued education as evidenced through his actions and words. All four of his children knew they would be provided for until they achieved their college degrees. He and his wife Mary Beth sacrificed in order for their children to attend college. Truett and Mary Beth taught their children unconditional love through their actions and faith in Jesus Christ.
