    The Largest Family In the World: Be Inspired, Amazed by the Mully Movie

    The Largest Family In the World: Be Inspired, Amazed by the Mully Movie

    When Dr. Charles Mully was growing up in Kenya, he quickly learned that his home country was seriously lacking in care for it’s most downtrodden. Mully lived in an abusive home for the first six years of his life. His dad was an alcoholic and beat his mother. But when he was abandoned at just six years old, his troubles multiplied.

    “The best test of a nation’s righteousness is how it treats the poorest and most vulnerable in its midst.” ~Jim Wallis

    For 10 years, he survived as a beggar on the streets. Growing tired of being homeless, Mully took it upon himself to walk more than 40 miles to Nairobi, where he found and excelled at a job in a private home, working his way up.

    Eventually, Mully was able to save up enough money to buy a vehicle. He grew his small taxi service into a multi-million dollar business empire. He went on to start multiple other companies and by his late 20s, the once-homeless boy was valued in the millions.

    He married a loving wife, they had seven children, and he made more money than he could have ever dreamed of…He had long felt unsettled by all his wealth and when he was confronted by the homeless kids, he saw an opportunity.

    Shocking his already large family, Mully surprisingly sold all his business holdings and began bringing children back to his family’s home.

    One of many stories: “Giving birth out of wedlock and in dire poverty, a young mother went to the riverbank to throw her infant daughter into the murky water. When someone yelled at them, the mother abandoned her baby to die and ran. “I was called for the rescue,” said Dr. Charles Mully. He prayed as he sped through the slums of Nyaru, Kenya. “And I made it in time to save that little girl.” Charity, as she was named, was not only rescued that day 12 years ago; the Mully family adopted her. She loves to sing and hopes to become a nurse.” (source)

     

    This is a WONDERFUL family movie as is the 2021 update below!

    I believe every family (no matter large or small) would do well to watch, be amazed, and consider what is truly important in this life!

    It’s truly incredible to watch a man go from rags to riches and then discover that his true calling lies in his roots. Mully is still helping more children see their full potential. We, too, can listen to our heart and what it’s telling us to do to help — no matter how crazy it might sound!

     

    From 1989 to 1995, Mully and his wife took in more than 300 children. But their home was too small for such numbers, so they began looking for a new place to run Mully Children’s Family (MCF).

    Thirty-five years later, Charles and Esther Mulli, their biological children and MCF staff have succeeded in rescuing over ~16,000 street children from lives of addiction, abuse, and abandonment. They’ve gone on to become engineers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and scientists. Now, there are multiple MCF outposts. 

    And during COVID-19, Mully Children’s Family (MCF) has not only been able to house, feed, and educate the hundreds of children in its care, it has also kept them safe and counseled them through the anxieties of an uncertain year. (source) 

     

    “During a pandemic, it’s back to basics. It doesn’t matter what kind of car you drive—you need food, you need peace of mind, you need good health—and of course, Jesus.” ~8th born son Dickson 

    Books: “Father to the Fatherless…The Charles Mulli Story” is an amazing book! And the sequel, Hope for the Hopeless! They contain so much more than the movie!

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      Wow, that is the most wonderful movie!! Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention.. Wow, God is still on the throne, and looking after orphans…love how his family came around and how they are all in on the ‘family’… I am so glad I watched it… I can not believe how God used this man to save so many children, and now they are growing up to change Africa!! And all because he was left alone and because one woman opened her door to him.. awesome… God knows how to work things out.

        Beverly, it is pretty amazing and gives me so much hope! God indeed does use all things for good – but the key is for those who love him and are called according to His purposes!
        God bless you, J

      What an inspiring story! Kudos to Mully for listening to and trusting God in everything. His vision to become self-sufficient was brilliant. He gives all credit to the Lord. Huge shout-out to his wife, who also should be credited in this beautiful story. She was also the hands and feet of God. It was also interesting to see the honest stories of his own children, who grew from resenting, to eventually embracing, his vision.

        Hi, Jeannette! I know.. I was so concerned that it would harm his children, but God used it all for good! Mully married and VERY wonderful woman!
        I love Esther’s heart! I don’t think I could have done that!
        Love you!

      “PRIVATE”
      Hello Jacqueline!
      I cannot express how blessed my family and I are by your blog and its plethora of information. Your heart also comes through and your ability to serve God in this way is also visible. I am wondering if you have any natural ideas to help with hot flashes & menopause?
      Thank you again for sharing. May you be blessed for your giving spirit.
      Kindest greetings,
      Deidre
