The founder and president of Provident Ministries, Feeding The Nations, Sumrall Ministries International, and pastor of Christ Chapel, Stephen Sumrall, went home to be with the Lord on January 6, 2026.

He loved God deeply and cared for people wholeheartedly. His life’s mission was to make Jesus known and to help as many people as possible.

The shop will also remain open, and additional messages and ministry resources from Pastor Steve’s years of service will be added in the future.
Though Pastor Steve is now with the Lord, the mission he faithfully pursued continues. Through these teachings, resources, and ministries, lives will continue to be strengthened, encouraged, and pointed to Jesus Christ.
