George Muller was an Evangelical Christian, who directed the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England, where he cared for 10,024 orphans throughout his life based on God's promise found in Psalm 68:5: “God is a Father to the orphans.”
He founded 117 schools that offered Christian education to 120,000 children, many of them without parents. He started the orphanages and schools without asking anyone for money or assistance, but only through prayer and faith.
George Müller is said to have read the Bible more than two hundred times, many of which on his knees. Before his death, asked by a reporter what he would still like to do, he, on his knees, replied, "To read more of the Bible because I know too little about the excellence of Christ."
