Opinion Poll Survey

50 years ago religious surveys were being used by evangelistic churches. They were successful then and now. The survey has changed in its format but the idea is the same; to make contact with total strangers for the purpose of gathering information that will lead to new prospects for both Sunday School and church.

The "Two Minute Religious Opinion Poll" has been used most successfully by a number of churches and outreach groups over the last several years. We have consistently seen souls saved as a result of this kind of method. It has also produced many good prospects for follow-up.

Our church has been using it for the last several months with great success. We have seen 11 saved and dozens of good prospects as a result of mobilizing our church members to help take the survey.

The benefits of this go far beyond expectations. Church members are encouraged to get involved in the taking of the survey. They learn how to lead people to Christ and discover the joy of seeing souls saved. Then they become involved with the discipleship process. It is a very fruitful outreach ministry.

David, could you put up online the actual survey that you are using? If you have already, sorry that I missed it.

Also, have you ever used "The Way of the Master"? If so, which to you feel is most productive?

Hey Brian, email me at dsmith5165@afo.net and I will send you the file in both pdf and word so that you can edit it for your purposes.
It really works.
