George Henry Lang (1874–1958). Born on November 20, 1874, in Greenwich, England, to a Christian father, G.H. Lang was a Bible teacher, author, and itinerant preacher whose independent thinking shaped his ministry. His mother died shortly after his birth, and at age seven, he professed faith in Jesus Christ, dedicating his life to service. Initially part of the Exclusive Brethren, he later joined the Open Brethren, advocating that a sincere profession of faith was the sole requirement for church fellowship, challenging John Nelson Darby’s views on church structure. Lang traveled globally—from Arabian deserts to Russian steppes—preaching the Gospel, relying solely on prayer for support, never soliciting funds, much like George Müller, who influenced him alongside C.H. Spurgeon, G.H. Pember, and A.T. Pierson. A meticulous Scripture student, he rejected traditional interpretations unless personally convinced, authoring 14 major books and numerous booklets, mostly after age 50, including The Churches of God (1928), Anthony Norris Groves (1939), and The Revelation of Jesus Christ (1945). His works emphasized the church’s practical oneness and spiritual autonomy. Married with a daughter, Mary, he died on October 20, 1958, in Wimborne, Dorset, saying, “Praying is working, and not merely an adjunct to working.”
