He was asked to provide a refuge on his land for a group of persecuted Protestants from Moravia (in what is now the Czech Republic). He opened his heart and property to them and soon waves of people, both committed Christian refugees and other disgruntled people who came for wholly secular reasons. The resulting community in the newly created village of Hernnhut came within a few years to be marked by strife and division.
