In 1987 Dr Lester Sumrall had a midnight encounter with Jesus Christ who challenged him with these words:
“I am very concerned that my church… my children, are dying of hunger before I return and I want you to do something about it.”
In response to the challenge, a 73 year old Dr Sumrall dedicated his remaining days (1913-1996) to a simple threefold vision of feeding the hungry, building the church and reaching the lost.
