George Muller
We have just finished reading the story of George Muller by Janet and Geoff Benge, part of the Heroes: Then and Now series, published by YWAM. What an inspiring story! This man had an incredible faith and lived it. God blessed his work and provided for thousands of orphans. The key is that George Muller was doing what God had called him to do, he never asked anyone for money and instead he prayed over every need. A testimony, indeed!
And to think he even met Charles Dickens and many other influential people of his time. If I'm ever in England again I want to go and see the buildings that he built for his orphanage-even though the book does point out that it wasn't the buildings, but the faith of George Muller, that was amazing. He wanted to show people that God answers prayer and he did.
