Origin of New Life Fellowship:
In 1983, when the Lord called Pastor V M Samuel (Pastor Sam) to reach out to one of the most unreached states in India – Karnataka, Pastor Sam and his wife, Sis. Somey were uncertain since they were inexperienced in the pastoral ministry and lacked financial resources. Yet, they yielded to God’s call and came to Mangalore, Karnataka in 1983. The Lord laid a burden in their hearts to reach out primarily to the Kannadigas & Konkanis, along with other linguistic communities. Gradually, the Lord expanded their vision and ministry and together they have been able to establish more than 125 churches across South India. Most of our churches are now financially self- sufficient and growing in the vision to reach out to the lost. In many places, the New Life Fellowship (NLF) church has been the first believers’ church.
