The Lack Of Evangelism
Contributed by Sermon Central on Apr 6, 2011 (message contributor)
THE LACK OF EVANGELISM
(Evangelism Statistics from Michael Parrot, Acts Evangelism, Spokane, WA, 1993, pp. 9-11.)
• Ninety-five percent of all Christians have never won a soul to Christ.
• Eighty percent of all Christians do not consistently witness for Christ.
• Less than two percent are involved in the ministry of evangelism.
One denomination did a survey on its leadership:
• 63% of the leadership (pastors, elders, and deacons) have not led one stranger to Jesus in the last two years
• 89% of the leadership have zero time reserved in their weekly priorities for going out to evangelize
• 97% believe that if the leadership had a greater conviction and involvement in evangelism, that it would be an example for the church to follow.
(From a sermon by Glenn Durham, Order in the Church! 10/26/2010)
