Let The Rebirth Begin!

Let The Rebirth Begin!

Greetings & Blessings Faithful Followers of Team MissionAccess Worldwide! Let’s explore a trend called “dechurching” which accounts for a mass exodus from churches small and large nationwide over the past 25 years.

However, this did not happen overnight.  In fact, in 1972 41% of Americans attended church every week.  But by 2021, that declined to 24%.  But wring not your hands nor gnash your teeth in fear!  Rather, let us lift our hands in praise for the opportunity set before us to be active participants in the rebirth of an even more powerful, personal and persuasive Church Family worldwide in the future.

In the book “The Great Dechurching: Who’s Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?” authors Jim Davis, Michael Graham, and Ryan Burge offer encouraging news to help reverse this trend. In fact, for 51% of those surveyed, it may be as simple as asking them to church.   

So… Let’s ask them!  Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV encourages us to:

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”

In His Accessible Grace,

Linda
