• Wives, children have great influence in decisions for Christ

0 Comments

Dr. Thom Rainer's research for the book "Surprising Insights From the Unchurched," showed how important wives are in reaching men for Christ. When his researchers asked those who were influenced by a relationship to come to church who influenced them the most, over one-third responded that it was their wives.

Interestingly, children have a sizeable influence. Ten years ago the paradigm of youth ministry was "reach the parents to reach the children."

Today, the paradigm has shifted. Almost one out of five of the formerly unchurched who were influenced by some relationship indicated that their children were the most important of these relationships.
