T-SHIRTS SHARE THE GOSPEL

A t-shirt might seem an unlikely evangelistic tool, but a survey commissioned by Kerusso, the No. 1 provider of Christian-themed apparel and gifts, shows the power of simple message well worn.
The Christian Apparel Faith & Motivational Research Report, a 2009 survey, shows that.

• More than half - 56.8 percent - of survey respondents who wore faith apparel report that at least one person with no personal faith in Christ asked about the garment’s message.
• Almost half - 44.4 percent - said that while wearing a Christian-themed t-shirt, they had shared their faith.
• Of nonbelievers who entered a conversation based on a shirt’s message, 7.4 percent made a decision for Christ.
• Fully 98 percent of survey respondents said they hoped the messaged apparel would grab the attention of someone without a similar faith.
