NCD Launches New Research Service

 

NCD International has launched a new service – NCD Research International.

This new research service is to support key leaders, decision makers, and researchers in Christian denominations and movements, ministries and organizations by providing them with facts – facts for sound decisions. We believe that reliable and relevant information is of immense practical value, not only to understand the “inner fabric” of a larger ministry setting but also to guide and enhance strategic decision-making.

Our services include:

• OQM and NCD database queries (with more than 65,000 NCD Surveys)
• Analysis of NCD and OQM Survey data in light of individual questions
• Research coaching and consulting
• Designing and implementing of research projects

For more information, go to www.ncd-research.org.

Check out our list of case studies to get a better picture of our research services.

Multiplying Mentors Needed!

Neil Cole

A powerful growth force in the NCD paradigm is multiplication. Many illustrations of how God uses this principle can be found. Not just in Jesus' ministry, but in Paul's as well. The following article by Neil Cole compares Paul's missionary journeys. And the observation he makes is a striking one: Paul shifted his ministry emphasis from that of making disciples to raising up of leaders out of disciples – from addition growth to multiplication growth. What he finds in Paul's missionary strategies is a mentoring for multiplication model.

Coming Soon: From Followers to Leaders

Robert E. Logan and Tara Miller

A recent survey of churches asked the question, "What is your greatest need as a church?" Guess what the number one answer was? "Leadership development."    

Beyond Church Planting

Evan Drake

With the vision of seeing churches multiply, Bob Logan of CoachNet International Ministries recently co-wrote Beyond Church Planting, a resource that he says could send a wave of shock not only to church planters, but to all Christians.
