REV. SAMUEL KADER is the author of the book

Currently he pastors New Life Community Gospel Church in New Port Richey, Florida and is founder and president of S.K. Ministry INC. He began actively pastoring in 1980, as the founding pastor of Reconciliation Metropolitan Community Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Since that time he has pastored 4 other churches, including the Community Gospel Church in Ohio which he founded in 1986 and pastored for 30 years. Pastor Kader continues to actively pastor in the LGBT (+) affirming movement. For several years Pastor Kader’s sermons reached out to the greater Dayton metropolitan area through a televised program called Eunique Perspectives of Hope which are now on YouTube (The Hope Tapes).

Pastor Kader has written several articles for both the gay press, and the gay Christian press, has appeared as a featured guest speaker at many regional and national conferences, and has traveled internationally. He held revivals for numerous churches and has spoken on many college campuses. He is uniquely qualified to report on the many ways and avenues in which the Holy Spirit moved upon the LGBTQ community from the beginning; he knew many of the earliest movers and shakers and observed the work God did through them.

Samuel currently resides in Florida with Jerry, his spouse of over 19 years, their 4 dogs Duke, Dory, Dolly and Dodi.
