T-Shirt Evangelism
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.

Great post Cynthia. I also believe Christian shirts can make effective witnessing tools. It's such an easy way to communicate Jesus to people that may otherwise avoid it. They are perfect for sharing bible verses and/or messages in a way that can be received by non-believers that would not take a verbal message.
ReplyDeleteWhen I recently started to get interested in wearing Christian shirts, I looked around the internet a lot and realized 2 things. 1.) A lot of the same shirt designs were found on all the websites and 2.) When a website had some different shirts that I had not seen before they seemed to be designed for kids (like you mentioned).
I have started designing my own Christian shirts to fill a need. The intention is to create unique shirts so that I can grow the pool of people that wear Christian shirts. I would love to hear what you have to say about them.
