TEST THE STATISTICS
Research indicates that seventy to ninety percent of new church members start coming because a friend, a relative or an acquaintance invited them! Another statistic shows that persons who become active members have been invited or had the Good News shared with them an average of eight times before they committed themselves. Why not test the statistics in your neighborhood? First, invite someone to church eight times, and then invite seven to nine people to church and see which works best. Ask a friend to try the same double test and compare the results. It should be a fascinating statistical study — and who knows? Someone might actually come to church and get to know the Lord!
