Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)
Overview
At the age of 70, Müller began a series of missionary and preaching trips which took him to dozens of countries across four continents, including multiple trips across continental Europe, the United States, Canada, and the Far East. He began his travels upon realizing that his orphanages were well-funded and properly administered and could be run without him. Müller set out on his travels with the objective of “preaching the Gospel in the simplest way possible, that persons may understand how the blessing, which sinners receive through faith in Christ, is to be obtained.” He also aimed to “promote brotherly love among Christians,” reflecting his desire to heal denominational splits and theological rifts.

George Müller’s life was one long witness to the prayer-hearing God; and, throughout, God bore him witness that his prayers were heard and his work accepted. The pages of his journal are full of striking examples of this witness. . . .

George Müller (1805–1898) was a pastor and philanthropist. He spent many decades dedicated to pastoral and evangelical ministry. Müller pastored Ebenezer Chapel in Devon, England; he also founded the Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad.
Together with his wife, Müller built and operated five orphanages that cared for several thousands of orphans annually. Relying solely on unsolicited funds, he distributed vast quantities of Bibles and other historic texts and supported many overseas missionaries.
Starting in 1875, George Müller spent nearly two decades in missions throughout Europe, North America, New Zealand, and India. His language proficiency allowed him to preach without aid in English, French, and German. In addition to his missionary travels, Müller received hundreds of invitations to speak.
His publications include Brief Narrative of Facts Relative to the New Orphan House, Jehovah Magnified: Addresses, Autobiography of George Müller, and more, which can be found in the George Müller Collection (12 vols.).
