[George Mueller began a ministry to the orphans of England, never asking help from anyone, never hinting that help was ever needed. In answer to his believing prayers alone, $7,500,000 was sent to him for building “God’s Orphanage,”]

Called “An Apostle of Faith,” George Mueller was converted to Christ in 1826 at age twenty-one. Shortly there after, he sailed to England from Prussia without letters of introduction, money or recommendations – absolutely unknown and with a very imperfect knowledge of the English language. At that time, he wrote in his journal [his diary]: “My whole life shall be one service for God.”

Mueller began a ministry to the orphans of England, never asking help from anyone, never hinting that help was ever needed. In answer to his believing prayers alone, $7,500,000 was sent to him for building “God’s Orphanage,” for missionary enterprises and for the circulation of Scriptures. (It should be noted that these amounts were in the monetary values of the 1800s – the equivalents of which would be millions more in our generation. Mueller often was down to “only one cent left in my hands.” Still, he never told anyone. Instead, he prayed and the need always was met by a miracle.
