In Matthew 9:37, Jesus tells his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." The results of a 2007 survey illustrates this point well:

• 82 percent—the number of un-churched people who are receptive to attending church if invited and escorted by a friend

• 21 percent—the number of church-going Christians who invited someone to church in 2006
