So I would love for you to read this statistic I am about to show you.
"Only 2 percent of church members invite a unchurched person to church.
98% of church-goers never extend an invitation in a given year."
82% of the unchurched are at least somewhat likely to attend church if invited
- Dr Thom Rainer, The Unchurched Next Door
Shocked. I was. Then I looked at myself, and I felt ashamed, I don't even fall within that 2%
But then it woke me up and got me thinking maybe I should be inviting people to church.
Well I did, and let me tell you, you might feel like you aren't doing anything, but you are indeed, planting a seed.
I wanna know where is it that we need to work on this statistic.
Are we becoming dead people in a church body?
Are we becoming cliquish?
Do we not care?
Are we comfortable and don't want change?
I just want you to ponder this and if it moves you, which I hope it does.
I know it moved me.
