Samuel Nmeholam or fondly called Pastor Sam, is a dynamic, insightful and practical teacher of the word of God, his anointed and Spirited messages has transformed countless number of lives particularly students, from different nations and races, as he witnesses the Saving and the Healing word working mightily in the lives of young people. He believes that Redemption is the Restoration of the Kingdom, in Christ man is redeemed to reign in the earth and in life and so he is often quoted as “Redeemed To Reign”R2R.
Growing up in an African town, fatherless and without hope, the Lord met him at the age of 11, saved him and healed him of a severe speech impediment and a chronic disease for he was as good as dead, his childhood was ravaged with sickness, for he had tubes all over his body, he ate through tubes and often time oxygenated until the Lord healed him, what a mighty God we serve. At 21 he was commissioned into ministry by Dr. Mike Oye(who also commissioned W.F Kumuyi), the same year he left for a two year missionary engagement to the west of Nigeria, precisely Lagos, it was in this great city that the Lord in a vision of the night said to him, “Son take my Saving Word and Healing Word to students and people in more than 120 nations with the covenant, Spirit and Unction of the 120” startled and dazed at the vision he had seen, he laid hold of his Bible and when he opened it, it divinely opened to Psalm 67:2, “that thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations” it was the Lord confirming the vision, the entire room lighted up, it was a very small room, frankly a store in the apartment, he laid on the mat(an African mattress made from palm frond ) it was enduing and enlightening, but he had a question, “Lord I’m not a student and I have lost every hope to go back to school, so how can I reach students” the Lord replied “you will go to school” naïve and inexperienced but curious to understand what the Lord had said to him, the Lord said the Saving word is the revelation of the kingdom, and the Healing word is the reclaiming of the destiny of nations, cities and lives and that it is the Blessing Mandate, it was that same night that International City Crusades for Christ(ICCC) was born. Today Sam Nmeholam reaches students from different parts of the earth and also pastors an International, multicultural student church(Reigners Chapel) in Kharkiv Ukraine where he is also studying Computer networks, To God alone be all the glory.
