Jesus: All about life in Sydney

Interesting survey stats about the state of Christian belief in Sydney verses the rest of the country.

Note – this is not the Christians – this is all people in Sydney surveyed as part of the market research for the Jesus All About Life campaign.

Compared with all Australians, Sydneysiders are more likely to believe:

• Jesus was born of a virgin (56% SYD and 44% AUS)
• Jesus healed a blind man (60% SYD and 51% AUS)
• Jesus turned water into wine (56% SYD and 44% AUS)
• Jesus walked on water (53% SYD and 44% AUS)
• Jesus was crucified and died on a cross (80% SYD and 76% AUS)
• Jesus rose from the dead (58% SYD and 47% AUS)
• Jesus ascended bodily into heaven (55% SYD and 44% AUS)
• Jesus will return to Earth one day (46% SYD and 37% AUS)

Now tell me again why such a disproportionate rate of reformed evangelical workers are required for the harvest in Sydney?

My friend Mike is always keen to talk to people about ministry in regional Queensland – you can find his church website here.
