Surprising Insights from the Unchurched and Proven Ways to Reach Them

Weâ€™ve read all the hot books on evangelism, weâ€™ve attended scores of seminarsâ€”and still weâ€™re not reaching the unchurched. Eighty to ninety percent of churchless Americans will never darken our culturally relevant, seeker-sensitive doors. What are we missing?

Maybe weâ€™ve been asking the wrong people. Instead of consulting the unchurched masses, itâ€™s time we heard what the small but important minority who have recently begun attending a church have to say. What made the difference for them? What critical factors helped spark their faith in Jesus and drew them into the community of believers?

Thom S. Rainer, dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth, shares the results and conclusions of his schoolâ€™s groundbreaking survey of the formerly unchurched. At last, here are proven insights into what evangelistically effective churches are doing right. Flying in the face of much contemporary wisdom, the answers will surprise you.
