Jada Sumter
Prophetess Jada M. Sumter is the proud mother of three wonderful children Jorden, Jazmyne, and Derek. she is a graduate from the University of Phoenix with a degree in Business Management with a concentration of Healthcare Management. She is just as passionate about her natural work as she is about her Spiritual work.
Although Prophetess Sumter has served in ministry for numerous years, she was like many who continually ran from the call until one day she found herself at her lowest possible point and she knew she could not run any longer. So she accepted the call into ministry. September 25, 2015 is a day she will never forget. This was the day that she gave her Initial Sermon, “God Gave the Vision to the Visionary” with a subtopic, “It’s a Process.”
Prophetess Sumter’s two favorite scriptures are Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it” and Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Her favorite quotes include: A Good Leader Doesn’t Lead by Pessimism and Cynicism. A Good Leader Leads by Optimism, Enthusiasm and Energy.
She currently serves a member of several organizations and boards.
If you were to ask Prophetess Sumter "Who are you called to ser?" She would boldly respond,
"God has called me to the radical women in the church. The ones with tattoos and piercings! "I am one of the new breeds, the one who will minister in stilettos, Timberlands, a Snap-backs or Chuck Taylors."
