Editor's note: For research purposes, Dr. Thom Rainer classified unchurched people into five categories. U1, or unchurched category one, is the most receptive to the gospel. U5 is the least receptive.
What have we learned about the U2s that may help us to be more faithful witnesses for Christ?
The U2s are eager to study the Bible. Our conversations with the U2s were clear: U2s desire to learn more about the Bible. Almost without exception, these unchurched men and women took the initiative to mention their eagerness to study the Bible.
They told us they would come to a home Bible study. They also told us that they would attend Sunday school if someone would go with them.
"I really would like to get with some people to learn more about the Bible," Jerome P. of Michigan told us. "I know there are a lot of Bible studies going on, but I would like to get in one with someone I know. I don't want to go to one with a bunch of nuts."
The unchurched next door want to learn more about the Bible. Have you invited someone to a Bible study?
