Grace Deborah Samuel has always had a passion and energy for life that is contagious. Working alongside her husband, Pastor Samuel Gift Stephen, Grace serves as co-pastor of Smyrna Assembly, in Singapore. As co-pastor, Grace is an integral part of each service at Smyrna and Pastor Samuel’s meetings across the world. A life-long Singaporean, Grace began her career as a programmer.

She then pursued a Diploma in Education and worked as a teacher with the Ministry Of Education. Now as a supportive wife, Grace is an inspiration and mentor to women everywhere. She is committed to helping women, children and families discover their purpose and reach their highest potential in Christ. Her desire to meet the needs of people led her to oversee the various Ministries at Smyrna Assembly to strengthen and develop the lives of married, single and professional women.  

She soon began traveling to the world's most impoverished villages in countries such as India, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
