Stefan Radelich, president of LeSEA Global Feed the Hungry, moved with his family to South Bend, Indiana in 1995 to serve the ministry of Dr. Lester Sumrall.

In 2015, Stefan became the President of Feed the Hungry and continued the vision of Pete Sumrall, former President, to reach over 100,000 children with a daily, hot, nutritional meals. At the end of 2018, with Feed the Hungry celebrating 30 years of ministry, over one quarter million children were being fed.

“This ministry began in 1987 with a call to answer the prayer of those who cry, ‘Lord give us this day our daily bread.’ And we will continue to answer that call until Jesus returns! This is what the generous and committed partners of Feed The Hungry are doing… they are sharing their bread with the hungry. They are saving lives. They are making it possible for the ‘least of these’, to taste and see that the Lord is good.”

Stefan and his wife, Alta, have 4 adult children. Stefan and Alta reside in Three Rivers, Michigan along with their dog Buck. Stefan enjoys cooking (he graduated from Cornell University in 1986 with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management) and hunting. When not traveling the world to visit with mission partners and pastors serving alongside Feed the Hungry, he can be found spending time with this family.
