The ''Evangelical Times'' wrote about [[Charles Dickens]]' visit to [[George Müller]]'s orphanage buildings:
{{Cquote|Although the orphans knew that everything they had was provided by God, they were unaware that they often lived from hand to mouth. As a result, they had no sense of financial insecurity. Charles Dickens heard a rumour that George Müller’s orphans were ill-kempt and starving, and decided to investigate. Müller gave his keys to an employee with instructions that Dickens be allowed to look over any of the orphan houses. He went away entirely satisfied. The children were indeed well cared for by the standards of the day, though their routine and diet would seem monotonous today. Their state of health compared very favourably with the general population, they had plenty of toys, and the vast majority looked back on their childhood in the orphanages as a period of great happiness. All of them went into secure employment, and many of them trusted Christ during the years of their upbringing.<ref>[https://www.evangelical-times.org/the-faith-of-george-muller/ The faith of George Müller], Evangelical Times</ref>}}
