Answer: George Whitefield.

Step-by-step explanation:

George Whitefield (1714 – 1770), an English Anglican cleric and evangelist, was one of the founders of Methodism and the evangelical movement. In 1740, he traveled to America to preach a string of revivals where he would fascinate massive audiences by combining drama, religious rhetoric, and imperial pride, as part of what was called the Great Awakening. Soon, he built his preaching house in Philadelphia.
