Address to Young Converts & Counsel to Christians by George Muller
George Müller (1805-1898) was a Prussian-born English evangelist and philanthropist. A man of faith and prayer, he established orphanages in Bristol and founded the Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad. He saw the great awakening of 1859 which he said “led to the conversion of hundreds of thousands.” He did follow up work for D. L. Moody, preached for Charles Spurgeon, and inspired the missionary faith of Hudson Taylor. Müller, a Christian evangelist and Director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England, cared for at least 10,000 orphans in his lifetime and through his legacy of inspiring others to do the same, the number of children increased to 100,000. He prayed in millions of dollars (in today's currency the estimate is 150 million) for the orphans and never asked anyone directly for money. He also established 117 schools which offered Christian education to over 120,000 children, and never took a salary in the last 68 years of his ministry, but trusted God to put in people's hearts to send him what he needed. Neither he nor the orphans were ever hungry or lacking in any necessities. He did all of this by seeking means from God through prayer. When he was over seventy he started on a preaching mission, which lasted nearly seventeen years. He traveled nearly two hundred thousand miles in forty-two countries, preaching the Gospel to over three million people.

<strong>Address</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Converts</strong><br />
&<br />
<strong>Counsel</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Christians</strong><br />
<strong>by</strong> Mr <strong>George</strong> Müller of Bris<strong>to</strong>l (1805-1898)<br />
<strong>George</strong> Müller was asked, “What is the secret of your service <strong>to</strong> God?” <strong>Muller</strong>’s<br />
response was this: “There was a day when I died, utterly died, died <strong>to</strong> <strong>George</strong><br />
Müller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will…died <strong>to</strong> the world, its approval<br />
and censure…died <strong>to</strong> the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends…and<br />
since then I have studied <strong>to</strong> show myself approved only <strong>to</strong> God.<br />
A servant of God has but one Master.<br />
“The primary business I must attend <strong>to</strong> every day is <strong>to</strong> fellowship with the Lord.<br />
The first concern is not how much I might serve the Lord, but how my<br />
inner man might be nourished.” ~ <strong>George</strong> Müller<br />
