Surprise Number 1:
Most of the unchurched prefer to attend church on Sunday morning
Surprise Number 2: Females are likely to be either the most antagonistic or the most receptive to the Gospel
Surprise number 3: 82% of the unchurched are at least somewhat likely to attend church if they are invited (8 out of 10 would go to church if somebody would invite them)
Surprise Number 5: Most of the unchurched have a positive view about pastors, ministers and the church
Surprise Number 6: The attitude of the unchurched is not correlated to where they live, their ethnic or racial background or their gender. The only patterning where we saw any correlation was related to income. The higher an individual’s income, the more resistant to the Gospel they were. Jesus himself warned us that the power of money can be like a god to us
Surprise Number 7: Many of the unchurched are far more concerned about the spiritual well-being of their children than of themselves
