Some Disturbing Numbers

 Alan J. Roxburgh in his book, "Joining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World" shares these statistics.

"If you were born between 1925 and 1945, there is a 60% chance you are in a church today.  If you were born between 1946 and 1964, there is a 40% chance you are in a church today.  If you were born between 1965 and 1983, there is a 20% chance you are in a church today.  If you were born after 1984, there is less than a 10% chance you are in a church today." 

If Roxburgh's percentages are remotely correctly and I "feel" from my own observations, etc that they are, it would point to the struggle we have in youth and college ministry today AND for the need for well done and effective youth and college ministry.
