An overview of findings

• God is at work: drawing all kinds of
people to Himself, changing people’s
hearts, and often making Himself known
in quite spectacular ways.
• Very often, people’s journeys towards
Jesus start with a deep sense of
dissatisfaction with how life is. They are
looking for something true and deeply
satisfying.
• Those exploring faith have so many
questions. There’s lots they don’t know,
or things they are confused about –
even those who have some kind of
Christian background.
• The welcome, kindness, and patience
of church communities and individual
Christians play a huge part in people’s
journeys to faith. We all have a part to
play in helping others find Jesus.
• The Bible is very important in people
coming to faith and then growing in
faith. Though they often have challenges
and questions, seekers are amazed
by the truth, beauty and wisdom they
discover when reading the Bible.
• Becoming a Christian is a huge thing!
New Christians have great opportunities
to show and share their faith with
friends, family and colleagues. At the
same time, they face challenges like
people not responding well to this
change, and changing old habits and
patterns is a messy process.
