His Grace, Archbishop Sam Amaga was born at Olowa in Kogi State. He obtained his 1st degree in Microbiology and also obtained a Counselor of Theology (C.Th). Dr. Sam Amaga received the call into fulltime ministry at a time he was hitting the limelight in the management of a leading Pharmaceutical company in Nigeria, West Africa, in July 1982.
Working for a Pharmaceutical company in Jos, the came to the office one morning like any other. Standing outside his office, he knew it was time to leave. He hadn’t discussed with his wife yet but she knew he had a call on his life and was afraid to do anything about it. He tendered his resignation and left the company. It was such a struggle for him but thank God it happened.
In response to the call upon his life, the Archbishop relocated his family to Makurdi where he began part time missionary work where he was running his business in Makurdi and preaching the word. The Archbishop and his wife Dr. Love Sam-Amaga have become gifts to the body of our Lord Jesus Christ. They have and are wholly committed to raising for the Lord an army of people Who are strong in Faith; Who are empowered by Wisdom; Who are intimate with the Holy Ghost and; Who are doing Exploits.
