Evangelism, as we know it in the USA,
simply is not working anymore.
As a church, we are committed to evangelism. 4 out of 5 American churches say evangelism is one of their top 3 priorities. Despite this,
• Barna reports we have spent over $500 billion on ministry over the past 20 years with no increase in the % of Christians in the population.
• 85% of American churches are stagnant or declining.
• Evangelical churches have failed to gain 2% in the past 50 years.
• We are not winning enough converts to cover the number of children born into the church in America.
• 200 million men, women and children in the USA, about 2 out of 3 people, do not possess a saving faith.
• America is the third largest mission field in the world.
The truth is the Evangelical church has lost the ability to do evangelism.
