Dr. Lester Sumrall (1913–1996), world-renowned pastor
and evangelist, ministered for over fifty-five years in more than
110 countries, including Soviet Siberia, Russia, Tibet, and China.
He established Feed the Hungry in 1987. In addition, he wrote over
130 books. His evangelistic association, LeSEA, headquartered in
South Bend, Indiana, is still actively spreading God’s Word. Dr.
Sumrall’s goal was to win one million souls for the kingdom of God,
and LeSEA continues to carry out this vision. The ministry includes
such outreaches as the World Harvest Bible College, a teaching tape
ministry, and numerous publications. Sumrall also founded LeSEA
Broadcasting, which owns and operates Christian television
stations, a local radio station, and an international shortwave
radio station, all with the special purpose of bringing millions of
souls to heaven.
