Our History

George Müller

George Müller cared for 10,000 orphaned children in Bristol during the Victorian era. He was a man of great faith, never making appeals for money, but simply praying to God for all that was needed. During his lifetime he received £1,500,000 in money and gifts in kind. At present day prices, this would be over £100m.

He pioneered care for vulnerable children with his principles enduring and forming a foundation of social care in the UK today.

He also led churches, travelled the world as a missionary, spoke to American presidents and taught the Bible, all so that, in his words, “it may be seen that God is faithful still and hears prayers still.” Find out more about Müller’s amazing story at the George Müller Museum website.
