Salvation at what age?

Barna Research, the largest religious polling agency in the U.S. found that the overwhelming percentage of those who are saved have experienced salvation before reaching their 14th birthday. The table below shows the findings:

Age range	% who experience salvation within that age range
5 to 13 years	32%
14 to 18 years	4%
over 19 years	6%

Even though this research was done in the US, maybe the same result would be true for any other people group. This finding shows that a vast majority of those who are saved experience the conversion during childhood - before the age of 14. A person who is unsaved at the age of 14 only has 10% chance of being 'saved' later in life.

This finding poses the following question: Should evangelism be concentrated on children?
This data challenges the widely-held belief that the teenage years (13-19 years) are the prime years for evangelistic activity. And also, most church efforts today to evangelise the unsaved is directed at adults is not effective because this is an age group which is relatively resistant to the message. The answer then is that more evangelical programs should be directed at children and the youth.

This finding should inspire the Church to shift the majority of its efforts and resources to: giving more quality training to youth leaders and workers of youth organisations; allocating a greater % of the church budget to the youth programs. Then release the children and the youth to evangelize their own generation, while we give them our greatest support!

Jesus said of children, "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven", and Solomon the wisest man who ever lived said of children, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
