Richard Samuel
“I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.” (John 15:16-17)
Richard Samuel's vision for Christ Community Ministries is two-fold:
First, to reach out with the hope and love of Jesus to the forgotten
and discarded in Indian society, and second, to use business models to
sustain ministry. Richard has compassion for people in India who are
hurting because of the broken relationships inherent in this world. But
healing also comes through relationships – those established in
communities built on the Lord Jesus.
Through Christ Community
Ministries, Richard seeks to build such healing communities where the
Gospel is central and needs are met. Christ Community Ministries seeks
to build economic engines into its ministries to make them self
sustaining whenever possible. Through healing communities touching
every aspect of life, it is Richard’s prayer that the world will know
that the Kingdom of God is at hand.
