George Barna - How Christians Share Their Faith

In this article by George Barna he discusses a survey of Christians regarding the various methods they use to "share" their faith.  "Socratic evangelism" is the method of choice for those under 40. Although only a slight majority of Christians make any attempt to "share their faith" using the nine methods included in the survey, it is encouraging that among those young people who do, they go beyond lifestyle to actually discuss their faith.  I wonder how many, ever get around to actually presenting the gospel and asking their friend if they are ready to place their trust in Christ alone for their salvation.  XEE is an example of "socratic evangelism" that actually leads to a "presentation" of the gospel.  It has the advantage of being transferable so that the Christian's conversation does not wander around aimlessly but guides it in such a way that the gospel is clearly articulated.
