George Muller, a Christian evangelist and philanthropist in 19th-century England, is well-known for his reliance on faith and prayer to sustain his orphanages. Muller believed deeply in trusting God alone for provision. Throughout his life, he never directly solicited donations for his work, choosing instead to pray and trust that God would provide.
As a result, Muller’s orphanages and other ministry efforts received donations from people moved by his faith and dedication. Muller’s story is often cited as a remarkable example of faith-based provision, and his legacy continues to inspire Christians and ministries today. His approach to financial reliance on prayer set a powerful example, especially for those in ministry, of dependence on God rather than on human sources of income.
Job 13:15 (MEV): 15 *Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him,
but I will defend my own ways before Him.
