Expositing the Word with Samuel Farag

Expositing the Word Ministries was created in response to 2 Timothy 4:2, which states, "preach the word." The focus of this ministry is to bring the Word of God to the forgotten churches of America. Samuel and Mercy Farag joined Village Missions in 2021, after they felt God leading them to serve among the forgotten churches in Rural North America and bring the Gospel message to those in their own Jerusalem. Sam and Mercy have two daughters and enjoy spending time with family and friends, baking, reading, and getting outdoors. Sam served as Youth Pastor at his home church in Richardson, Texas, and Mercy cares for their daughters and served in the Children’s Ministry.We invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with the Farags and Village Missions to help rural churches thrive through your encouragement, prayer, and financial partnership.
