George M Ller Of Bristol

The classic biography of George M�ller tells the story of one of the England's greatest evangelists, famed and admired for his establishment of orphanages in his hometown of Bristol. George M�ller was successful in caring for well over 10,000 orphans, yet it was only after long and difficult campaigns and effort that such hard-won victories against social and economic injustice were won. Beginning his efforts in the 1820s, and continuing as the United Kingdom's population ballooned in the midst of industrialization, M�ller encountered many obstacles on his path. A passionate believer in both God and social justice, M�ller found opposition to his ideas among the wealthy. Firm in the belief that the poor should receive a good standard of education, he was ridiculed and dismissed as a foolish idealist. Yet M�ller proved the naysayers wrong: decades of effort resulted in the Ashley Downs orphanage which housed thousands of impoverished children, while he assisted in the establishment of 117 schools - in all, these ensured education for 120,000 children during M�ller's lifetime. In his later years, M�ller embarked on a seventeen year mission around the world, where he evangelized on topics concerning both God and his accomplishments in assisting the poor. Speaking far and wide to congregations in India, South Africa, Canada, the United States and continental Europe, he became a prominent figure seen to exemplify Christian kindness and good deeds. As well as his work in society, M�ller was a profoundly religious person who would spend much of his life in prayer. He prayed spontaneously and would request God's assistance in all manner of things; the repair of a orphan house's boiler, the health of a sick child, and good weather and fortune during his long voyages on ship being just a few of his pleas to the Lord. Joining God at the age of ninety-two in 1898, George M�ller's work changed countless lives, and he continues to inspire Christians to this day.

One prayer can change everything. Martin Luther. Sojourner Truth. Helen Keller. St. Patrick. We read their stories, and of other people like them, in history books, and hear about the amazing things they did to change the world. But one part of the story is often left out: Each one of them wouldn’t have accomplished what they did without prayer. In this book from bestselling author Tricia Goyer, the stories of twenty-five notable people are presented along with the major prayer that changed their lives, and changed history. Following each historical example is a biblical story that ties to that person’s life and actions, as well as ways you can use the power of prayer in your life as well. Because God isn’t done changing the world yet, and he would love to use you to make history. Includes images of each historical figure.
