He was one of the people who started the movement of the Plymouth Brethren. His group was called the Open Brethren after the split. During his life, he took care of 10,024 orphans and helped them get an education. Some people said he put the poor above their place in British society since he helped them get an education. He set up 117 schools where more than 120,000 people got a Christian education. Müller and his wife started helping orphans in 1836, when they set up their own rented home at 6 Wilson Street, Bristol, to house 30 girls. Soon after that, three more houses on Wilson Street were set up for boys, girls, and younger kids, bringing the total number of kids who could be cared for to 130. See less
