George Whitefield I

George Whitefield was one of the greatest evangelists this country has ever known. From the moment of his conversion he worked tirelessly throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the American Colonies and parts of Europe. He was a man who believed that preaching the gospel was vital and spent his last energy in this very activity.
In this first part we will begin by looking at the state of the country and church and how it had changed since the height of the puritans just over 50 years before his birth. We will consider what sort of man he was to be given such vigour and success in his ministry and finally we will consider his early life.
