A collection of the hitory of the Bethesda orphan house and George Whitefield's endeavors and purpose in its establishment.
Spurred by strong religious conviction and disheartening observations of the state of the poor in Georgia, George Whitefield felt compelled to fund and establish an Orphan House in the mid 1700's to provide aid and religious teaching to orphans in the colony. His efforts were largely unsupported by the church, so Whitefield was forced to use his influence in his sermons and social spheres to generate support and sufficient funds to establish the orphanage.
