over George Muller cared for at least 10, 000 orphans in his lifetime and after his death through his legacy of inspiring others to do the same, the number of children increased by tenfold. He provided educational opportunities for the orphans to the point that he was even accused by some of raising the poor above their natural station in life. He established 117 schools which offered Christian education to more than 120,000. 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 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. And neither he nor the orphans were ever hungry or lacking in any necessities.
