ABOUT

About Pastors

Dr. S. Victor David was called and anointed by the Lord Jesus Christ to build the Kingdom of God. It pleased the Lord to use him as an evangelist, missionary, pastor, and teacher of the Word of God.

Born on June 9, 1966, in Vijayawada, India, his life took a divine turn in his teenage years when the Lord revealed Himself through a heavenly vision. The Holy Spirit confirmed his calling as a prophet to the nations, aligning with Jeremiah 1:5 —
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you… I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Deeply convicted of sin and drawn by God’s grace, he surrendered his life wholeheartedly to Christ. Determined to follow God’s will, he left everything behind to join a Bible college in Rajasthan, where he completed three years of theological training. During his studies, he fearlessly ministered in streets, slums, prisons, and hospitals—sharing the Gospel with the broken, the sick, and the forgotten.

In 1990, united with his beloved wife and co-founder Mrs. S. Santhi, he stepped into full-time ministry. With simple means and a burning passion for the lost, the couple traveled far and wide—sometimes by bicycle, motorcycle, or public buses—carrying the love of Jesus to cities, villages, and unreached communities.

His compassion extended beyond the pulpit. In 1997, he founded a school that offered free education for hundreds of underprivileged children—a mission that continued until 2013. His life reflects sacrificial love, steadfast obedience, and faith that moves mountains. Through more than three decades of ministry, God has used him to transform lives, raise leaders, and build the Kingdom of God—not only through preaching but through love in action.

Senior Pastor – Dr. S. Victor David

Lead Pastor – Pastor S. Samuel Victor

Pastor S. Samuel Victor, the lead pastor of Immanuel Ministerial Association in Vijayawada, is a man called to continue the legacy of faith entrusted to his family. Born in 1992 in Vijayawada, he grew up watching the ministry of his parents and witnessing countless lives changed by the Gospel. Those experiences ignited a passion deep inside him to serve Jesus.

Though he pursued his studies and completed Engineering in 2013, his heart remained anchored in the calling of God. After finishing his degree, he fully surrendered to the ministry—choosing eternal impact over worldly ambition. With boldness and youthful fire, he began preaching, praying for the sick, counseling the broken, and reaching young people with the transforming message of Christ.

He is joyfully married to Mrs. Pranathi, a devoted partner in life and ministry. God has blessed them with two precious sons —
Jason Victor and Dawson Victor — who are being raised to serve the Lord.

Pastor Samuel carries a strong burden for the next generation—to see revival rise again in India and to bring souls out of darkness into the marvelous light of Jesus. His heart is filled with compassion for the hurting. His messages are rooted in Scripture, rich in truth, and powerful in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

He believes church is not just a place to attend — but a family to belong to…
Not just a platform for ministry — but a mission field to be transformed…
Not just words spoken — but love demonstrated.

With a vision to reach Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, and beyond, Pastor Samuel continues to serve passionately and prayerfully, carrying the legacy of his parents while stepping boldly into the new things God has prepared.
