A Special Thank You to Rev. Samm

Dear Rev. Duane Samm,

Words can hardly express how deeply grateful my family and I are for you. Thank you for the love, guidance, prayers, encouragement, and genuine care you have poured into our lives.

Your ministry has touched our family in ways that will remain with us for years to come. Through your preaching, your prayers, your wisdom, and simply the way you live out your calling, you have helped strengthen our faith and draw us closer to God.

We want you to know that we love and appreciate you dearly. You are not just a minister to our family—you have become a very special part of our lives and our journey of faith.

Thank you for being you, Rev. Samm. Thank you for allowing God to use you so beautifully. May the Lord continue to strengthen, bless, and enlarge your ministry as you continue to touch lives for His Kingdom.

With all our love and heartfelt appreciation,

Rev. Samm.....your consistent example of compassion and care shows that a willingness to love, and forgive and treating our enemy with kindness will avoid a lot of the challenges we usually face.....thank you for being a living example of the Pastoral care God expects us to show and inspiring us to Love our Brothers and Sisters unconditionally as Jesus did!

I also met Rev. Samm after I had spent nine months out of Trinidad during the Covid period. After reading my book, "HOW DO YOU LOVE, The Ultimate Commandment", Rev. Samm now calls me the Love Man. Rev, I accept my title with honour. All the best.

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’ John 13:34 and 35

John Gaskin Tunapuna

Rev! Thank you for the regular check ins on me and my family, the impromptu counselling sessions at the office. 😅 Thank you for your words of encouragement and wisdom when I didn't even realise I needed it. Your light and laughter will be missed. May God give you the strength needed for the next leg of your journey in His kingdom. 🙏🏿

FOR HE WAS A GOOD MAN AND FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST AND OF FAITH AND MUCH PEOPLE WAS ADDED UNTO THE LORD Act 11: 24

Sally Dyett Chaguanas

(Romans 15:1-6)
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.(The NIV Worship Bible)

Lord Jesus, Suffering Servant, teach us to model ourselves after You. Fill out hearts with joy and thanksgiving as we share Rev Samm life and live with one another. By the power of Your Holy Spirit help us to protect and build up those who are weak. Bring all Your people together in unity, Lord - weak and strong, rich and poor, young and old - so that with one heart and one mind we might glorify our Father in heaven and bring praise to Your wonderful name Amen.

Sandra John Tranquillity

Every journey of our life is in God hands he direct and protect our steps through it all. Rev Sam your steps will continue to be directed and protected. The God has a greater plan your life. Be bless stay strong in the lord and continue to bear fruit as your work in the vine yard.

Stay join to me as I will stay joined to you just as a branch cannot product fruits unless it stay join to the vain you cannot product fruite until you stay join to me. John 15: 4

Dawn Joseph Hanover

Rev, thank you! For the check ins, the calls, your presence and your care. I truly missed your voice at services. May God continue to heal and cover you as you journey on.

Though distance came before farewell
And time has kept us far apart,
Your presence and your leadership
Remain remembered in my heart.
The only Superintendent
With whom I’ve had the chance to serve,
I’m grateful for the years we shared
And all the memories I preserve.
As you depart for paths anew,
May God go with you all the way
Granting strength, peace and favour,
And blessings with each coming day.

As you prepare to transition into a next chapter of your ministry, I want to express deepest gratitude to you on behalf of my family. You have given exceptional pastoral care to us especially my sister Joyce. Your ministry of music brought a unique joy to our services. Your singing comforted us during difficult times uplifted us in celebration and truly elevated our worship experience. Your love, friendship and shepherding over the years are truly appreciated. We pray God's continued blessings, joy and peace for you and family.
