Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on George Whitefield. It needs to be at least 750 words.

Whitefield was educated at home by his mother and later in life at St. Mary de Crypt School and Pembroke College, Oxford2. Whitefield was s diligent student but he was a loner.

The orphanage and schools, when they were built finally helped an abundance of people. Whitefield never profited from this endeavour financially1.

After his first trip to America, Whitefield made six more trips. Each journey across the Atlantic was danger but Whitefield had a large audience which he wanted to preach to in America1,2. In 1940, in Philadelphia, he preached to fifteen thousand people,
