Why Minister to Men?
George Barna discovered some interesting
statistics as he studied the churches of America:
When a child leads the way in commitment
to a church, 3.5% of families follow;
When a woman/man leads the way in commitment to a church, 17% of families
follow;
But when a man/dad leads the way in commitment to a church, 93% of
families follow!
He also uncovered a startling trend:
42% of American men attended church
regularly in 1992.
By 1997, only 28% of American men were attending church regularly.
In spite of the Christian mens movement of the
1990s, churches have struggled to attract and keep American men. This has
contributed to the plateau and decline of the churches across America. |
