Conversion - Studies of conversion

  • Conversion - Studies of conversion

    We are concerned about the question, how adults  find Jesus and which are the determining factors in the journey to baptism.

    What helps to foster the decision for faith, which are possible hindrances? How can the Adventist Church in the German context grow more strongly? As a church, we want to create the optimal conditions for the decision to follow Jesus. Therefore, we directly approached brothers and sisters who were baptized in the last five years, to identifiy essential parameters.

    The questionnaire for the conversion study was developed by the IKU (Institute for Culture relevant Communication and Development of Values, Workforce Analysis & Innovation, Nürtingen) and ADIMIS and was conducted in the two German Unions and in Switzerland. Results were presented at a congress in Switzerland in 2014, and in following publications.
