2.  Vision New England Recent Convert Study

The purpose of this research project was to measure the most effective forms of evangelism in New England today. Recognizing that God’s goal in evangelism is spiritual fruit (measured in converts), our goal was to determine what efforts, programs or factors most often produce Christian converts.

 

4. Prayer Request
