Blog Assignment #14-G.Muller

Assignment #14:

          George Muller was German his original name was Johann Georg Ferdinand Müller. He was born in Kroppenstedt, a village in the Kingdom of Prussia which is located in Russia.  In 1828, Müller almost started working with Jews in England.  He believed that God would provide for his needs as he did his Christian work. He became the pastor of a chapel in Devon, and soon after, he married Miss Mary Groves.   While he was the pastor of the church, he would not take a regular salary.

            Müller and his wife began working with orphans in 1836. They then kept thirty girls in their own home.  Soon after that, they opened three more orphanages. That made the total of children they cared for about 130. In 1849, that home opened. By 1870, more than 2,000 children were being helped in their five homes. To this point, Müller had never asked for financial support, and he did not go into debt. Even though their five homes cost over 100,000 to build. Many times, he would get free food donations only hours before it was time to eat.

           That helped his faith in God even more. Every morning after breakfast there was a time of Bible reading and prayer. Every child was given a Bible when they left the orphanage. The children had nice clothes. Müller even had a school inspector make sure things were done right. Even though he died in Bristol at the age of 93, George Muller was and still is a very inspirational person that I think any boy should look up to. He defiantly has inspired many lives.
