Host pastor
Dr. Samuels holds dear to her heart the words of the Apostle Paul as he wrote “Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. She sees herself only as a “prisoner” of the Living God and her daily lifestyle is expressed in these words, “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them as dung that I may win Christ.” Her greatest joy is pleasing God, her husband, children and church family.
Rev. Dr. Melony Samuels is the Pastor of Full Gospel Tabernacle of Faith Church, located at 1212 East New York Ave, Brooklyn NY, 11212. She is the wife of a loving husband, Bishop Alton Samuels, a mother, grandmother and a servant to those that God has entrusted in her care. She considers herself an ambassador in bonds of the Lord Jesus Christ and it is only through His grace and mercy that she has the victory. God called her from a life of sin and has now fashioned her to complete his will over the past 20 years. Since her call to ministry, she has preached locally and internationally at seminars and conferences dealing with various faucets of Christian living. God has given her the ministry of healing and deliverance and for this she gives Him all the glory.
She was the president of Full Gospel Tabernacle Bible College and Seminary where God gave her the opportunity to work with many believers. Although God has successfully kept her busy through ministry, He still allows her to minister to the needs of vulnerable New Yorkers struggling with food and economic insecurity. Rev. Dr. Melony Samuels is the CEO and Founder of The Campaign Against Hunger, one of the largest and most robust anti-hunger non-profits that was borne out of compassion to assist needy families with food and critical social services. She was instrumental in starting the first client-choice food pantry in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn – an operation that has since blossomed to serve over 14,000 families weekly. The organization impacts over 1.7 million New Yorkers annually.
With all that God has allowed her to accomplished, she sees herself has a mere vessel. She declares, ” It is in Him that she lives, moves and have her being.” She gives thanks to the directions of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit for her ability to continue ministering.
To God be the glory!
