2) How Adults Become Christians
Dave Bennett, UK National Director of Bridge Builders (formerly Pocket Testament Leaque) conducted this study by interviewing a range of lasting adult convert regarding the factors that had brought them to faith. His main findings were that the majority of lasting conversions:

d. the biggest factor by far, claimed by the respondents, was ongoing relationships with Christians, and seeing faith modeled in their lives. This far exceeded other factors such as reading books, tracts, even the Bible, or watching videos.
