21 Powerful Quotes From George Müller

Thirty-five years ago I was encouraged to read Christian Biographies by one of my early mentors. George Müller of Bristol: His Life of Prayer and Faith by AT Pierson was one of the first. George Müller was a reckless youth who stumbled into a bible study of college students and saw them reading their bibles on their knees which deeply moved him and opened his heart to the gospel. He was a pastor of 66 years in the same church. He founded in 1834 at the age of 28 "The Scripture Knowledge Institute for Home and Abroad". The five branches of this his mission was to develop 1) Schools for children and adults to teach Bible knowledge, 2) Bible distribution, 3) missionary support, 4) tract and book distribution, and 5) “to board, clothe and Scripturally educate destitute children who have lost both parents by death." He worked with D.L. Moody, preached for C.H. Spurgeon, he supported and encouraged J. Hudson Taylor in his missionary work in China. Through his simple faith, his boldness in prayer and great generosity he aided the weakest of society, he spread teaching of God's word and advanced the missionary cause of Jesus. George Müller was used by Jesus to inspire millions and inspires me to this day. Enjoy just a few of his powerful thoughts on prayer, bible study and the mission of Jesus.
