Two very helpful resources here: 1) The Gray Matrix Frank Gray’s modification of the Engel Scale is an incredibly useful pictorial tool: More on the Matrix 2) How Adults Become Christians Dave Bennett, UK National Director of Bridge Builders (formerly Pocket Testament Leaque) conducted this study by interviewing a range of lasting adult convert regarding the factors that had brought them to faith. His main findings were that the majority of lasting conversions: a. took a long time – an average of about 2 years. b. spiritual journeys frequently started due to a felt need or life problem. d. the biggest factor by far, claimed by the respondents, was ongoing relationships with Christians, and seeing faith modeled in their lives. This far exceeded other factors such as reading books, tracts, even the Bible, or watching videos.
