Biblical Mission Statement
My Father, the late Dr. Lester Sumrall, was a man of courageous faith a man who would not bow his knee to anybody or anything. My prayer is that we all can walk in that same kind of faith today.
In 1987, my father had a visitation from the Lord. All night long, the Lord spoke to him about our collective responsibility, as the Body of Christ, to do more than just say, "Be blessed, be warm, be clothed, and be fed." We must not turn our heads the other way and stop our ears so that we won't hear the cries of the destitute of this generation.
It is the responsibility of the Body of Christ in the first-world countries to give ourselves to our hurting brothers and sisters in the third-world nations.
I have been part of that vision since the day it was birthed in my father's spirit, and I am just as determined to see that vision continue in my own life. The Lord has moved on my heart to form a ministry called "Feeding The Nations." This generation of believers needs to stand up and make a difference. We cannot be derelict in our duty. Our world is hurting in body, soul, and spirit. More than ever, the time is now.
