George Müller (1805 – 1898), a Christian evangelist and Director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England, cared for 10,024 orphans in his life. He was well known for providing an education to the children under his care, to the point where he was accused of raising the poor above their natural station in life. He established 117 schools which offered Christian education to over 120,000 children, many of them orphans. Wikipedia article.
