• Trendline: An overview of interesting developments in the church

0 Comments

We surveyed 179 active church members who stated that they "rarely" or "never" share their faith. We then asked a follow-up question: "What is the primary reason you do not share your faith on a regular basis?"

Their responses:

1. I am not an outgoing person -- 18 percent

2. I do not have the gift of evangelism -- 14 percent

3. I serve God in other ways -- 14 percent

4. I am just too busy -- 12 percent

5. I am afraid to share my faith -- 10 percent

6. I do not know how to share my faith -- percent

7. I do not want to impose my beliefs on others -- 6 percent

8. All other responses combined -- 17 percent
