Dr. Sam Sasser spent 35 years in ministry and held post graduate degrees from California Graduate School and Fuller Seminary. Dr. Sam Sasser was greatly loved by many thousands of Pacific Islanders. Since 1960 he served as a missionary in the Marshall Islands and Samoa, helped establish 26 churches, and pastored in Honolulu, California, and Texas. He taught in conferences and crusades in 63 nations. Sam’s health had been failing for several years, but he continued to minister in conferences around the world until his death in 1995. He had requested that his heart be buried in the Marshall Islands.

In its 16th Constitutional Session the government of the Marshall Islands wrote a Resolution honoring Dr. Sasser’s life. The two-page document was given to the Sasser family during a formal presentation while they were there.  Among other things, the Resolution stated, “…the Most Reverend Samuel Sasser dedicated his …works among the Marshallese people, especially the young; and … his teachings and guidance and wisdom have touched and greatly enriched the lives of the Marshallese people, and that his devotion to the Marshallese people will be felt for many generations to come….”
