George Müller bio...
George Müller (1805–1898) was a German-born Christian evangelist and a renowned philanthropist whose life exemplified unwavering faith, prayer, and dedication to the welfare of others. Born in Kroppenstedt, Prussia, Müller experienced a profound spiritual transformation in his early 20s, shifting from a life of rebellion to one of deep devotion to God. In 1832, he settled in Bristol, England, where his remarkable ministry unfolded.
Müller is most celebrated for founding the Ashley Down orphan houses, which provided care, education, and shelter to over 10,000 orphans during his lifetime. Remarkably, he relied solely on prayer and faith for funding, refusing to solicit donations directly. Instead, he trusted that God would provide, and his needs were consistently met through unsolicited gifts. His commitment to transparency and integrity in financial matters earned him widespread admiration.
Beyond his work with orphans, Müller was instrumental in distributing Bibles, establishing schools, and supporting missionaries worldwide. His teachings emphasized God’s faithfulness and the power of prayer, leaving an enduring legacy.
Our choice to name our foundation "George Müller Canada" reflects our aspiration to emulate Müller’s principles of faith, service, and care for the vulnerable. Like Müller, we are committed to addressing societal needs with humility, integrity, and reliance on divine provision. His legacy inspires our mission to transform lives and foster hope, embodying his vision of service to humanity.

Our Orphenage
In 2021, a 19-year-old guy moved by compassion invited 8 homeless children to his house. A few days later, he rented a one-bedroom house to welcome more than 12 homeless kids. A few months later, he was taking care of 30 kids.
Through Sylvain Nantel, the Fondation George Müller Canada got to know Ashfaq Masih. He is a nice young man, who cares for others. He lives in the District of Faisalabad, Pakistan. He is a man of faith.
Until August 16th of this year, he worked 7 days a week in a restaurant for $ 200 per month. He was supporting the 30 orphaned kids with his salary. But, he didn't have enough.
In February 2022, the Fondation George Müller Canada decided to take charge of the 30 kid
Our Mission is to:
- Provide spiritual, emotional and management help to Asfaq, the director of the Orphanage.
- Assure, through the leadership of Ashfaq that the spiritual, emotional and financial needs of all the kids are met.
Our Vision is to:
Lead this first orphanage to an appropriate quality of life and to be able to maintain it. Then, we will start again with another one. So and so!
Our Values :
We are spiritual people who believe in God. We are simply counting on God for everything we think He is asking us to achieve. We believe in Jesus Christ as the Creator of the universe. We believe that through Him God sees us perfect as He is.
Our Strategy
1. Listening at God on a daily basis
We understand that we are weak and powerless, but God is strong and powerful. We want to obey God and be faithful to Him in what he asks us to do.
2. Praying God to send us donators
We do not want to count on our capacity to convince people to become donators and collaborators. There are too many needs and too many causes out there. But we believe God will send us the right people to partner with us.
3. 0% cost fee management
We use 100% of donations for the needs of the kids and for the caretaker who lives with them. It costs us 3$ to transfer funds to Pakistan through Ria Transfer. We cover those fees and more with our own donations.
