George Mueller's Faith

"If God fails me at this time, 

it will be 

the first time."

-George Mueller

This from the man who:

• Began his ministry caring for orphans with 2 shillings in his pocket. 
• Built 5 large orphanages.
  
• Cared for over 10,000 orphans in his lifetime
• In 1834 there were accomadations for only 3,600 orphans in England and twice that many orphans under the age of eight were in prison.  50 years later, through George Mueller's hard work and dedication England was able to care for over 100,000 orphans.
• Became a travelling missionary (a lifelong dream of his) at the age of 70 and continued for the next 17 years.
• Travelled to 42 countries preaching on average once a day often to crowds of 5,000.
  
• Read his Bible cover to cover more than 200 times.  
• Took in donations for several million dollars for the orphans without once asking anyone for money.
• Gave up his small salary when he discovered it was paid for by the rental of church pews and didn't  take a salary for the next 68 years.
• Never took out a loan or went into debt.
• The orphans never went hungry although several times they prayed over empty plates, only to have food arrive at the last moment.
• Founded 117 schools.

the end of faith, 

and the beginning of 

true faith

is the end of anxiety."

"Now faith is the 

substance of things 

hoped for, 

the evidence of 

things not seen."
