The Beginning of Schools Work
The George Müller Foundation appointed Schools Workers to promote the Christian Gospel in schools in and around Bristol.
George Mueller shares the inspiring beginnings of the Schools Work initiative in 1987, where two dedicated workers were appointed to promote the Christian Gospel in Bristol schools. Their efforts included establishing Christian Union Groups, leading morning Assemblies, and teaching Religious Education, which received a warm response from local educators. This outreach not only fostered spiritual growth among students but also resulted in several conversions, showcasing the impact of faith in education. Mueller expresses great expectations for the future of this initiative as part of The George Müller Foundation's mission.
Text
In 1987 two Schools Workers were appointed, one on a full time basis and another on a part time basis. It was their responsibility to promote the Christian Gospel in schools in and around the City of Bristol. They endeavoured to set up Christian Union Groups and to encourage those that already existed. They also took morning Assemblies and were invited to take Religious Education lessons within the school curriculum. They were greatly encouraged at the response from the teaching staff of local schools and had the privilege of leading several pupils to the Lord as a result of their efforts. Great things were expected of this new outreach of the work of The George Müller Foundation.
