His popularity continues to this day. Andrew Murray was born in 1828 in Graff Reinet, South Africa. He was the second child of Andrew Murray Sr. (1784-1886) who was a Scottish Presbyterian serving the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa. Andrew’s mother, Maria Susanna Stegman, was of French Huguenot and German Lutheran descent. Murray had an incredible Christian heritage growing up. His father, Andrew Murray, Sr. was a Scottish pioneer minister and evangelical leader of South Africa. He was born into a pious Aberdeenshire family and studied at Aberdeen University, where he felt called to be a missionary to Newfoundland.

He was one of the chief promoters of the call to missions in South Africa. This led to the Dutch Reformed Church missions to blacks in the Transvaal and Malawi. Apart from his evangelistic tours in South Africa, he spoke at the Keswick and Northfield Conventions in 1895, making a great impression upon his British and American audiences. For his contribution to world missions, he was given an honorary doctorate by the universities of Aberdeen (1898) and Cape of Good Hope (1907).
