FROM 100% TO 2% IN 2000 YEARS! In 1996, I undertook a serious personal study of the book of Acts. When I came to Acts 5:41-42, the Holy Spirit spoke to me powerfully: The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ. (Acts 5:41-42) What struck me was the fact that the Apostles, the Church leaders, were active in evangelism. After a careful study of Church history, I discovered virtually the entire Early Church had been mobilised, and they reached pretty much the known world with the gospel. Then I discovered, to my astonishment, that research revealed only 2% of Christians in the Western Church today regularly engage in evangelism! How had we moved from everyone doing it, to only 2%? Who or what had caused this gigantic shift? How had we regressed 98% over 2000 years? I clearly felt the Holy Spirit challenge me to find answers to these questions. For 10 years, I became an investigative journalist, and over that time, slowly but surely, God revealed 67 reasons why this shift had occurred. And here is the thing - each of these reasons has to do with 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 and the devil s devices. Each one of these devices relates to individual Christians and local churches today. So if you want to reverse the 2000 year, 98% regression, and come to know what is causing you and your church to shut down in evangelism, and become part of the solution, they are all in this book.
