Don’t Fear The Unchurched: Thom Rainer, author of The Unchurched Next Door, recently interviewed unchurched people across the U.S. to understand how they think. Many Christians think anytime they share their faith they’re going to be blasted, criticized, and ridiculed. The research shows 90% of rime you’re not going to get a hostile response. Here are some of Rainer’s findings: 40% of unchurched people are “highly receptive to what you say about Christ.” 40% who do not know Christ want to hear, “What must I do to be saved?” The majority of unchurched people have never had anyone tell them how to become a Christian. Unchurched people want to have a relationship with a Christian in whom they can see Christ, ask questions, and get better acquainted. (The Lookout, 1/11/04)
