Awaken the Church. Reach the Lost. Equip the Believer
Calling a Generation to Live Fully Surrendered to Christ
My name is Sam Petrov, as I am typing this I am 22 years old! I’ve grown up in the church my whole life, seeing my dad being a preacher all the days of my life I desired to be just like my father to be a preacher and also a missionary to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Since 2021 I’ve been traveling and preaching the Gospel with just the one or front of thousands. God has called me to be an evangelist to share and also equip the saints to preach the Gospel. I’ve been to Tanzania, South Africa, Uganda, Mozambique, Mexico and also Honduras preaching the Gospel. My life had never been the same after a prayer service happened in 2021. God has shown Himself faithful to me on every missionary trip I’ve been on providing all of my needs.
1. Preaching & Teaching in the Churches of America:
Since the beginning of 2025, God has opened incredible doors for me to preach at churches across America—including South Carolina, Florida, Washington State, and California. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching at several Bible schools, equipping the next generation to walk in the freedom and identity they were created for.
Whether in churches or classrooms, my heart remains the same: to preach the simple, life-transforming message of the gospel—that Jesus isn’t after religion, but a real relationship with His people.
2. Reaching High-schools:
There was a time in high school when I drifted away from God. But everything changed when I gave my life to Jesus at the age of 17. Since then, God has stirred my heart with a deep burden to return to high schools—not just to share the gospel that saves, but to reach the youth who know about God, yet have never truly encountered Him.
Across many high schools in Washington State, we’ve been seeing powerful moves of God: students giving their lives to Jesus, young people battling suicidal thoughts finding freedom, teens addicted to nicotine being set free. Revival is breaking out in our high schools, and we believe this is just the beginning.
3. Block Parties:
Recently, God has been showing me a fresh and practical way to reach the neighborhoods of America—through block parties and neighborhood cookouts. At our very first outreach, over 250 people showed up. We had the opportunity to share the gospel, and the response was incredible.
We witnessed parents surrender their lives to Jesus, and children running to the altar with hands raised, praying the prayer of salvation and giving their hearts to Him. It was a beautiful glimpse of what God wants to do across our communities.
My heart is stirred like never before—to keep sowing, keep reaching, and keep reaping this mighty harvest that God has prepared.
4. Equipping Churches to Preach the Gospel:
The Lord has shown me that by myself, I can only reach a small number of people. But with the Church—the whole Body of Christ—we can reach so many more. As individual evangelists, we will never be able to reach the entire world with the Gospel. **We need the Church!** This is why I don’t just preach the Gospel; the Lord has stirred my heart to equip the Body of Christ to preach the Gospel effectively and to see the need for it. Not just to preach, but to equip the Church to preach the Gospel that brings salvation.
5. Social Media:
The Lord has revealed to me the importance of reaching people through social media. Many individuals are oppressed by the devil, suffering from depression, fear, and anxiety. They may have heard about Christianity but have not encountered Jesus as the healer and chain-breaker. These individuals are unlikely to enter a church and hear about Jesus, but they might hear about Him while scrolling through social media.
The vision isn’t just to reach those who are oppressed and filled with darkness but also those who know of Jesus but aren’t fully surrendered to Him. The goal is to bring them to understand the love of God and the importance of living a fully devoted life to Jesus.
