Robber of the Cruel Streets

George Muller
has always been a hero of mine

George Muller (1805 - 1898) was a German playboy who found Christ and gave his life to serve Christ unreservedly. His mission was to rescue orphans from the wretched street life that enslaved so many children in England during the time of Charles Dickens and Oliver Twist. Muller did rescue, care for, feed, and educate such children by the thousands. The costs were enormous for such a great work. yet, amazingly, he never asked anyone for money. Instead he prayed, and his children never missed a meal.

I found a wonderful documentary on youtube beautifully depicting Muller's life and mission. This link is for part one of six. When the video ends click on the subject line at the top of the video screen. It will take you to youtube.com and from there you can find parts 2 - 6 in a column on the right side. The documentary totals 59 minutes.

  1. Thanks for sharing Lori! I had never heard of George Muller and glad you have introduced him. My church recently had a revival summit but I just could not get into the speaker as he was very critical -- this youtube video telling of the life of George Muller was more insightful! So glad to have gotten to see as I am having a hard time trusting Gods timing in my life at the moment. God Bless you and your family!

  2. Karyl, thank you for the kind words. I always wonder what direction I should take my humble blog, and leave it mostly to His leading. So happy to introduce you to Muller. As I said in the post, he is one of my heros. I hope that you were able to watch the whole series. It really makes you rethink prayer. If only all of us would humble ourselves and pray!

  3. Hi Lori-
    It's Karyl again-- I was wondering if you have heard of Spiritual Sundays -- It is a blogger site that you can share anything religion and I really think people there would enjoy hearing about George Muller too! It is at http://bloggerspirit.com/
    I watched the whole series of youtube on George and was inspired! Thanks again for sharing.
    God Bless and Happy Sunday!
