Re: Discipling and retention
A study was conducted once on Billy Graham Crusade converts. When they came forward they were asked to characterize the person who brought them to Christ as preacher, teacher, or friend. Five years later they were asked if they were still active Christians. 95% of those who characterized their 'soul winner' as a preacher said they no longer attended church, 85% of those who came via a 'teacher' were not, but 90% of those who said a 'friend' won them were still faithful. Discipling works.
