Would you have invested in these people?

Would you have invested your money in a company started by these people? If you had you would be a millionaire.

These 11 people are the founders of Microsoft in 1978. The one at the bottom left is Bill Gates, who is now the richest man in the world. This group of hippies and geeks changed the world.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Don’t judge a person by their mere appearance. Do not despise the day of humble beginnings. How many times in the scriptures did God use the despised, weak, afflicted and unlikely to accomplish great things?

It was just twelve uneducated apostles who started the church. Imagine what God can do with just a few devoted disciples in your church? If a small group of mere humans can start a company the revolutionizes personal computing, how much more with God’s divine power helping us can a few Christians bond together and change the world for good?

Matthew 13:3-32 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
