George Muller (1805 -1898) was a Christian
evangelist and Director of the Ashley Down
orphanage in Bristol England. The following
story is told by George Muller in his
autobiography.
The children are dressed and ready for school.
But there is no food for them to eat," the
housemother of the orphanage informed
George Mueller. George asked her to take the
300 children into the dining room and have
them sit at the tables. He thanked God for the
food and waited. George knew God would
provide food for the children as he always did.
Within minutes, a baker knocked on the door.
"Mr. Mueller," he said, "last night I could not
sleep. Somehow I knew that you would need
bread this morning. I got up and baked three
batches for you. I will bring it in."
Soon, there was another knock at the door. It
was the milkman. His cart had broken down in
front of the orphanage. The milk would spoil by
the time the wheel was fixed. He asked George
if he could use some free milk. George smiled
as the milkman brought in ten large cans of
milk. It was just enough for the 300 thirsty
children.
