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.
