Rev. Samuila Ali, Retiree, Nigeria

Rev. Samuila Ali, Retiree, Nigeria The Reverend Samuila Ali spent 30 years as a pastor. For many years, he ministered to multiple congregations at the same time—serving 35 different congregations over his career in the Church. He also supported other pastors through his role as a district superintendent for three years. When his eyesight failed, he stepped down. He later was blessed to receive donated medical care from a United Methodist hospital, the Zing Rural Health Center; the cataract surgery restored his vision. Today, Rev. Ali and his family survive on occasional token payments since a pension is not available from his conference.

The Central Conference Pension Initiative was started to provide a retirement with dignity to retired pastors, such as Rev. Ali, and their surviving spouses. To find out more about the initiative, explore www.ccpi-umc.org or write to ccpi@gbophb.org. Donations can be made online or by calling 847-866-4230.
