Lester Frank Sumrall (February 15, 1913 – April 28, 1996) was an American Pentecostal pastor, evangelist, teacher, and missionary.

He flew to Manila, Philippines, upon learning about the possession of Clarita Villanueva, whom he claims to have delivered from two demonic entities in 1953.

[2] Sumrall wrote many works during his lifetime ranging from topics such as evangelism, miraculous healing, demons and exorcism, angels and more.

Some of his works were of a more polemic nature such as warning about the supposed dangers and detrimental effects of movies and Roman Catholicism.

He also wrote some autobiographical works: Adventuring with Christ,[citation needed] The Life Story of Lester Sumrall: The Man, the Ministry, the Vision (as told to Tim Dudley), Through Blood and Fire in Latin America, and My Three Sons.
