DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

George Mueller emphasizes the power of persistent prayer, sharing his
lifelong commitment to praying for individual conversions, including his
own father. His faith and trust in God were evident during a joyful
reunion with his father, which inspired his father to seek a similar
faith. In response to the urgent need for homeless children during a
cholera epidemic, Mueller took a bold step of faith by founding an
Orphan Home, guided by God's promise in Psalm 81:10. This sermon
illustrates the profound impact of faith-driven actions and the
importance of prayer in transforming lives.

He also prayed daily for individual conversions and prayed as long as
fifty years for some people which illustrates his faith and trust in
God. His own father was daily in his prayers and when the opportunity
came to visit Heimersleben, George Müller was overjoyed. The re-union
with father and brother was a happy one and George Müller's obvious love
for God had a profound effect on his father. At the conclusion of the
visit Herr Müller said to his son, 'May God help me to follow your
example, and to act according to what you have said to me.'

In 1834 George Müller founded the Scriptural Knowledge Society (later to
become Institution - see inset).

However, the worsening cholera epidemic and the ever increasing number
of homeless children caused him to realise immediate action was required
and in 1835 he called a public meeting with a view to opening an Orphan
Home. This was a complete step in faith and four days before the
meeting, God confirmed that step through the Scripture - 'Open wide your
mouth and I will fill it' (Psalm 81 verse 10).
