How to turn around evangelistic stagnation in your church — or how to start pursuing a 5% goal?
Across Australian Evangelicalism there is a bold goal — growing our churches by 5% per year through conversion growth.
But some pastors are asking: “We haven’t seen anyone become a Christian here in years… where do we even start?”
We talk:
• Should we even have an evangelism target?
• What are the theological issues?
• How do you start when conversions have been rare?
