First, and not surprisingly, new converts are the most effective in sharing their faith with the lost, not seasoned veterans who know exactly how to do it. New converts had a passion that was transferable to their former friends, while more mature Christians seemed to lack that.

And, a second interesting observation was that in measuring a person’s satisfaction with their local church, the longer a person had been attending that church, the less satisfied they were. It was the new attenders that were very satisfied.  That can be a blow to a pastor’s ego.

Thirdly, neither age, gender, nor race had much bearing on the result of the survey, interestingly popping another myth.

I’ll look forward to reading more about these interesting findings when the book is released.
