“Innkeeper” Dependent on God

As a teenager, Wallace Johnson was fired by a sawmill operator. Today, as founder of Holiday Inns, he is a multimillionaire and called “the innkeeper of America.”

Johnson started his business empire in 1939 with a borrowed $250. Since then he has helped provide jobs for 110,000 people. He is known nationwide for his Christian activities and stewardship as a Baptist layman.

“I am totally dependent on God for help in everything I do,” he declares. “Otherwise, I honestly believe it would start to fall apart in months.”
