Obstacle to Comfort is a 55-minute video on the life of George
Muller of Bristol. The man became a legend in his own generation.
He was the builder of schools, a supporter of missions and a
father to some 10,000 orphans. The amazing issue of his life does
not lie in what he did, but in how he accomplished it. |
|
|
|
He operated by faith. He relied solely on God to meet all his
needs. He refused to accept any donations from unbelievers, and
when he started his Scriptural Knowledge Institution to accomplish
these tasks, between him and his partner they possessed no more
than one shilling, or twelve pence. He refused to inform anybody
regarding his needs, mentioning them only to God, in private, on
his knees. But look at what he accomplished. |
|
|
|
In reviewing the 63 years he spent in a faith
ministry, the results are staggering. The schools collectively had
121,683 students. The orphanage had five mammoth buildings. He
accommodated the needs of 10,000 orphans. It is believed that 2,813 orphans left
the institution as believers, and they in turn led thousands to
Christ. It is believed that of the 2,000 students in the orphanage,
when Mr. Muller closed his diary, 609 of them were believers. |

The
institution also distributed over 281,000 Bibles, nearly 1.5 million
New Testaments and over 111 million tracts. Several hundred
missionaries received financial assistance, totaling nearly ₤260,000. Sixty-three foreign
missionaries were sent out from his church alone. He built 10 other
churches - six of which were self-supporting at the time of his death.
Nearly ₤1,5000,000 was contributed to the Institution as a direct
result of his prayers. His principles survived his death and, by 1939,
the total funds prayed into the Institution was approximately
₤2,370,000.
