Dr. Stephen Samuel has a passion for preaching the gospel. His teachings compel audiences to leave behind a nominal faith and pursue a life of encountering Jesus. As an author, pastor, and public speaker, with decades of travel into unreached nations, Stephen’s global perspective provides a unique approach to unfolding the Scriptures and communicating Biblical truths. Along with his wife, Jenilee, and their four boys, they have witnessed God’s direction as they’ve cultivated effective avenues of discipleship and ministry.

Stephen completed his undergraduate work in economics at Lamar University and then his master’s in Divinity and doctorate in theology at the Midwest Theological University. He also holds his ordination with the Assemblies of God and serves as the director of the Orange School of Ministry. As the founders of Free Life Missions, he and his wife also partner with ministries on the frontlines of engaging unreached people groups.
