A brief Biography and Ministry Profile of Phillip Samlalsingh

​​

​​

Apostle Rev. Dr. Phillip T. V. Samlalsingh was born on November 20, 1960, in San Fernando, Trinidad, into a respected and successful business family. Raised in comfort, he initially had little interest in spiritual matters, regarding Christianity as a cultural formality. However, in 1977 his life was forever changed when his father passed away suddenly. This event opened Phillip’s eyes to his need for God. At the age of seventeen, during a prayer and Bible study led by Rev. Arnold Gajramsingh, Phillip surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and was gloriously born again.

 

From that moment, Phillip pursued God’s purpose with zeal. He immersed himself in Scripture and prayer, seeking the Lord’s will for his life. Even as a young businessman, he boldly shared his newfound faith with colleagues and leading businessmen across Trinidad. His passion for evangelism often led him to create opportunities to preach the Gospel wherever he could.

 

In 1978, Phillip met Susan, a young believer who would later become his wife and lifelong partner in ministry. In 1979, he was baptized and joined Jesus Deliverance Centre under the mentorship of Rev. Wilson Rampersad, who became his spiritual father. Phillip and Susan were married in 1981, with their union blessed by Rev. Rampersad and Rev. Carlyle Chankersingh.

 

In 1982, Phillip experienced a defining moment in his bedroom when he audibly heard the voice of God saying, “Preach my Gospel.” From then, ministry doors opened, and he began preaching with increasing intensity. He later attended the Morris Cerullo School of Ministry (1985) and soon after launched into itinerant evangelism, producing Gospel tracts, conducting crusades, and preaching across churches in Trinidad.

 

By the mid-1990s, Phillip’s ministry had expanded significantly. After preaching in the Hindu community of Barrackpore, he established a congregation there. In 1997, he and Susan purchased land at Rochard Douglas Road, Barrackpore, where they founded Miracle Church, now the headquarters of the Trinidad & Tobago Christian Outreach Center (International). That same year he was ordained by Apostle Rev. Dr. Arnold Gajramsingh.

 

From this base, Phillip’s ministry took on an international dimension. He preached in the United States, India, Canada, Colombia, and Guyana, attended training under renowned leaders such as Pastor Rod Parsley and Rev. Billy Graham, and served as President of the Barrackpore United Churches Association for three years, organizing community-wide evangelistic crusades.

 

Phillip is also a prolific author. Beginning with his first publication in 2005 (Miracles: Revelations of His Will), he has written more than a dozen books covering Christian living, deliverance, faith, eschatology, and the Holy Spirit. Many of these were revised and expanded in 2025, ensuring that his writings continue to edify new generations. All his books are published internationally and available on Amazon.

 

Alongside preaching and writing, Apostle Samlalsingh supported orphans in India and the Philippines, founded schools of Biblical Studies and Ministerial Leadership in Trinidad, and launched Love in Action ministry in Pakistan. His church also embraced modern outreach, expanding online through livestreams and a global website that has reached over 123 nations.

 

In recognition of his ministry, Apostle Samlalsingh has received honorary doctorates, certificates, and ordinations from several international Christian institutions. Yet his greatest joy remains in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching the Word, ministering deliverance, and equipping believers for service.

 

He has been happily married to Rev. Loretta Susan Samlalsingh since 1981. Together, they co-pastor Miracle Church. They are blessed with three children—Racheal, Reuben, and Richard—two daughters-in-law, Rebecca and Karishma, and five grandchildren: Joshua, Naomi, Israel, Isabella, and Annastasia (Anna-Grace).

 

As of 2025, Apostle Rev. Dr. Phillip T. V. Samlalsingh celebrates 45 years of walking with Christ, 30 years of Miracle Church, and over four decades of fruitful ministry. Known as a passionate evangelist, compassionate pastor, and faithful servant of God, he continues to proclaim liberty to the captives, manifest miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit, and prepare the Body of Christ for the coming of the Lord.

 

And the best is still to come…
