In a recent LifeWay Research study, 85 percent of all believers ages eighteen to twenty-nine agree they have a duty to share the gospel, and 69 percent feel comfortable sharing their faith. Yet only 25 percent of them look for ways to share the gospel, and only 27 percent actually build friendships with unbelievers to do so.[1] This means that even as most Christians recognize that mission is essential, they fail to act on this belief.
