ABOUT THIS EPISODE
God used George Schmidt in Baviaanskloof, South Africa, to begin a work that still existed 48 years after his departure. Yet this man had health difficulties, a black mark on his Protestant score card, a rough personality, a few theological quirks, and frustrating circumstances beyond his control. How was it that God used him? Find out in this week’s episode of Pocketing God’s Promises.
