Here are some facts to consider – REALITY CHECK:
- Most Christians will never share Jesus or lead anyone into salvation.
- According to Life Way Research, 97% of Christians will never share the plan of salvation with one unbeliever in their entire lifetime.
- Similarly, unless extenuating circumstance arise, about 90% of unbelievers will never choose to attend our church services.
- However, according to Barna Research, 75% of unbelievers are willing to LISTEN to a Christian talk about their faith.
- Current statistics: around 98% of professed Christians have never led anyone to the Lord.
- Personal testimony: we asked Senior Pastors how many in their congregation they believed have personally led someone to the Lord – common response is 5% or less.
- Research shows that it normally takes up to seven or more positive impressions before most people will consider abandoning long-held opinions for truth and change their mind (core belief system) – leading to decisions and changes in attitudes and actions.
