The Rajus

Serving with Engage International 

About the Rajus

Sam and Amy Raju spent five years in India where Sam worked as an itinerant speaker with an international apologetics ministry, and Amy served in a local church mentoring young women, teaching Sunday school, and helping with worship. They have now moved from India to Charlottesville, VA where Sam began Engage International, a ministry that focuses on evangelism undergirded by apologetics, discipleship, and equipping Christians to engage culture.
Each year their team speaks at universities, schools, and churches across North America and around the world, and reaches hundreds of thousands through online platforms. Their podcast, “Faith Informed,” is designed to equip Christians to winsomely commend, defend, and contend for the faith, and help believers to think Christianly about everything, be better rooted, more equipped, and ever-growing in the knowledge of God.

Ministry Update & Prayer Requests

How has the lord been at work in your ministry this past year?

  • Tremendously encouraged by the growth and trajectory of Engage.

  • Incredible openings around the world to the point where we can’t accept all of them, especially internationally.

How can we pray for you?

  • Looking for a part-time media director and director of development (shoot us an email if interested- [email protected])
  • Sam’s strength and stamina as he seeks to lead both his family and the ministry well.
  • Major praise: June marks 10 years of Sam being cancer free!

how do you hope to see god work in the coming year?

  • We are actively working towards onboarding another speaker by the end of next year and have identified a great candidate who wants to be based in a closed East Asian country.
  • Partnering with more churches to host the Engage Conference
  • As we continue to grow the team and further our reach and impact we pray for more monthly donors
