“Win a Million“ song inspired and dedicated to Dr. Lester Sumrall (1913-1996). Few evangelists have seen as much of the world as Lester Sumrall witnessed -- and witnessed to. Lester Sumrall was one of the most colorful preachers of the 20th century. Beginning as a fiery young preacher during the depression and ending with the foundation of a global ministry in 1987 aimed at wiping out hunger in Third World countries: his life story inspires as well as it teaches. Lester Sumrall was a man who threw himself at the feet of Jesus Christ, possessing a zealousness and long-term commitment that still amazes even those who knew him. Lester Sumrall traveled the world ministering in 110 countries, including Soviet Siberia, Russia, Tibet, and China. During his life he penned over 130 books. His evangelistic association (LeSEA -- Lester Sumrall Evangelistic Ministries headquartered in South Bend, Indiana), is still actively spreading God's Word. LeSEA ministries include such outreaches as the World Harvest Bible College, a teaching tape ministry, and numerous publications. Lester Sumrall also founded LeSEA Broadcasting, which owns and operates 13 Christian television stations, three FM radio stations, five international shortwave radio stations, and two Satellite channels covering the entire continents of Africa, Asia & Europe. LeSEA Broadcasting reaches 90 percent of the world's population with the special purpose of bringing those millions of souls to heaven. Lester Sumrall's goal was to win 1 million souls for the Kingdom of God every day, and he was often quoted in his later years with this statement:- “I won't be satisfied unless I win a million souls for Jesus everyday“ -- Dr. Lester Sumrall -------------------------- Lyrics -------------------------- Win a Million Song by Jeanna Tomlinson Lying on my death bed as a young and angry lad, And there seemed no hope for me, from the sickness that I had. All at once before my eyes, a decision to be made, On my one side was your Holy Word, on the other was my grave. Chorus Win a million, that’s my vision from The Lord, And my heart is filled with purpose, I have found what I was born for. There’s a world outside that’s dying, as I come to you and pray, I won’t be satisfied Lord Jesus, will I win a million every day. One night while I was praying, a picture came to me, There were people everywhere, as far as the eye could see. They were falling off the edge of life into eternal flame, And as they approached their destiny, they were calling out my name. If I could live my life again, I would live it just the same, I have run the race I have kept the faith, through the power in Your Name. Through every trial I’ve overcome, every battle I have won, Just to see the smile on your lovely face, and to hear you say well done.
