ARE WE EVANGELISTS?

Thom S. Rainer in his book, The Unchurched Next Door (2003), asked the formerly unchurched what person was the greatest influence in your becoming a Christian (pp. 204-205).

Family Members 42%
No One 25%
Other 17%
Coworker 08%
Neighbor 06%
Merchant 02%

Then they asked which family member was the most influential in you becoming a Christian.

Wife 35%
Child 18%
Parents 16%
Siblings 05%
Parent's in Law 02%

Husbands reaching wives was virtually a nonfactor.
