The Need to Reach Children
This pie graph shows the ages at which Americans say they initially placed their belief and faith in Jesus of Nazareth as the promised Messiah and became evangelical, born-again Christians.
The data in the pie graph or chart comes from research done at the Global Ministry Center of the Church of the Nazarene.
Another survey cited by the International Bible Society indicated that 83% of Christians make their first commitment to Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14 when they are children or early youth. Surveys done by the Barna Research Group indicate that American children aged 5 to 13 have a 32% probability of accepting Christ, while the probability of youth aged 14 to 18 becoming Christians falls to 14%. Unbelieving adults ages 19 and over have just a 6% probability of becoming Christians. (Source: Southern Nazarene University, At what age do Americans become Christians?)
