Poll Conducted through God's Plan for Sharing

Recently I noticed results from a poll conducted through the God’s Plan for Sharing initiative which stated the top five ways Americans are willing to receive information about a local church.

• (5) Newspaper/advertising 46%
• (4) Outdoor sign/Billboard 46%
• (3) Informative ad in newspaper 48%
• (2) Personal conversation w/friend/neighbor 56% and the most effective way to bring them in . . .
  
• (1) Personal conversation w/family member 63%.

Also revealed in the survey were the top five times that people consider matters of faith.

• (5) New baby 28%
  
• (4) Natural disaster 34%
  
• (3) Major national crisis (9/11) 38%
  
• (2) Easter season 38% and most likely

• (1) Christmas Holiday Season 47%.

With the Holiday season approaching this is timely information I thought may be of interest.  (EBA has a supply of the GPS brochures.)  Be blessed and B one!  Gary, your Missions Director
