Local Engagement

These worldview surveys have been designed for use in public places such as parks, college campuses, marketplaces, and any other public place where people gather. To use these surveys effectively, we suggest you get a clipboard and pen and head out to a local public place, preferably in pairs. As you approach strangers, introduce yourself and say, “We’re taking a survey, trying to learn more about people’s spiritual views. Do you have a few minutes to answer some questions for us?”

If they are willing, start working through one of these three surveys with them. The surveys will help you to get into great conversations about spiritual things.
