ABOUT
SHMUEL SALWAY
Born in Tel Aviv to Jewish-Indian parents, Shmuel came to faith at a young age and has been active in youth ministry ever since. After serving as a combat medic in the IDF and studying at Tel Aviv University, he followed God’s call into full-time ministry—first as Youth Pastor at Adonai Roi Congregation, and now through his leadership at Lech L’cha.
Together with his wife Suzie, Shmuel has helped lead national youth initiatives like Katzir camps and Neged Hazerem, building up young leaders across the country. Today, they live with their four children in Yad Hashmona, a Messianic village in the Judean Hills, where they continue to invest in Israel’s future through discipleship, mentorship, and service.
