About Steve Sumrall
Pastor Steve is the second son of Dr. Lester and Louise Sumrall. The Sumrall’s were a missionary family who traveled the world together sharing the good news of the gospel to a lost and hurting world. At a very young age, Steve had a heart for missions. His calling to share the message of Jesus through humanitarian aid led him to found Feeding The Nations. Together with partners all over the world, FTN has been able to provide relief and aid to over 75 nations and thousands of people across the globe. Steve was also the founder and President of Provident Ministries, and Sumrall Ministries International as well as the beloved Pastor of Christ Chapel in South Bend, Indiana.

Through his leadership and unwavering commitment to sharing the love of Jesus Christ, millions of pounds of humanitarian aid were distributed to people facing crisis and hardship. By God’s grace, these resources were placed directly into the hands of those who needed them most through trusted, experienced, and capable ministry partners.
Steve and his wife, Diane, shared a God-given vision to bring hope, practical help, and the love of Jesus Christ to people around the world. That vision continues today. The mission remains unchanged: to serve with compassion, minister the Gospel, and bring life-changing help to those in need.
