I know some people who have been saved by CPR, but the vast majority of attempts do not bring people back to life. Depending on who you reference, the general consensus is that less than 25% of the efforts are successful. However – and this is a big “however” – a lower success rate should not deter us from trying. We never know which of the people we work on will make it, so we need to try! As I thought about the CPR process, it got me to thinking about evangelism. Sure, more often than not the people we teach won’t respond to the gospel, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
