Expositing the Word with Samuel Farag
Expositing the Word Ministries was created in response to 2 Timothy 4:2, which states, "preach the word." The focus of this ministry is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ one verse at a time.
Pastor Samuel and Mercy Farag joined Village Missions in 2021, after God led them to serve among the forgotten churches in rural North America. They are passionate about bringing the Gospel message to those in need. Pastor Sam and Mercy have two daughters and enjoy spending time with family and friends, baking, reading, and getting outdoors.
Pastor Sam is an ordained and licensed minister who is currently serving as Pastor at Bethel Baptist Church of Gorham, NY. Pastor Sam is also an apologist who ministers to the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox communities and shares with them the truth of God's Word and the contradictions of the man-made teachings in the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox Churches.
We invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with the Farags and Village Missions to help rural churches thrive through your encouragement, prayer, and financial partnership.
