Lester Sumrall

Lester Sumrall (1913–1996) war ein US-amerikanischer Evangelist, Pastor und Pionier der Pfingstbewegung, der von Indiana aus weltweite Missionsreisen unternahm. Bekannt wurde er als Gründer des Mediennetzwerks LeSEA und des Hilfswerks Feed The Hungry sowie durch zahlreiche Schriften über Geistesgaben, Wunderheilungen und geistliche Kampfführung. Bibellesern begegnet er als Vertreter eines kompromisslosen Glaubens an übernatürliches Handeln Gottes und gelebte Nächstenliebe, dessen Berichte über Dämonenaustreibungen jedoch auch Kritik an theologischem Sensationalismus hervorriefen.
