Do you think that your church is the only one that is not engaged in evangelsim?  Sadly this is not the case

A new Ellison Research study finds 39% of U.S. pastors aren’t highly interested in offering more community outreach programs. They prefer to focus on their own congregation and on spiritual needs rather than physical needs. Other problems common to at least half of all churches include lacking sufficient volunteers (58%), sufficient staff (56%), sufficient lay leaders (52%), and sufficient funds (50%). Despite the lack of interest for increased community outreach, 97% of churches report doing something specifically for the purpose of evangelism over the past year.
