The goals of the First Great Awakening changed for each leader. Some of the leaders were Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield. Jonathan Edwards thought that the purpose was to revive the relationship with God and convince the listeners of their sinful deeds. He achieved this by preaching to large groups with words that pleaded that the listeners rethink the direction of their lives. George Whitefield set goal on converting people, this he achieved by becoming the most powerful preacher of the Great Awakening.
