Profile Plus:
Biotic
or Technocratic? |
|
In the international NCD movement there is
an appropriate aversion to models and technocratic approaches. After all,
the NCD principle-oriented approach is proving itself to be far superior
to other alternatives. So, does the Profile Plus detailed analysis
substantially enhance the principle-oriented approach or return us to the
"bad old days" of models and prescriptive answers?

Church Planting That Works |
|
"Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs
of those who would be affected by it." – Marian Anderson, American
contralto, (1902-1993). Read how a missionary learned to pioneer an
effective church planting movement in the north-eastern rural part of
Thailand. ―> more... |

NCD
Online
Training |
|
Do you want to participate in NCD training
without it being expensive, without being dependent on seminar dates, or going
abroad?
The new NCD online training, by Christoph Schalk, is for you.
A series of 6 training sessions (about 1 hour each) covers the NCD Cycle and the
Biotic Principles.
This online training has been designed for pastors / leaders
and those interested in actively implementing NCD in their church.

Dear Friends!
Latest research shows that NCD changes churches in a very effective way:
we see a strong increase in quality as well as in the growth of those
churches doing NCD for 3 or more years. The figures are very encouraging,
and we will give you details in one of the next issues of eNCDine.
However, there is also a tendency within a certain group of churches to
misuse NCD as "church cosmetics". No deep analysis of root causes for the
minimum factor; no long-term process working on the quality of the church.
In this issue of eNCDine, we want to deal with this challenge - in
"Radical Therapy or Church Cosmetics?" and in "NCD as a
 Long-term
Process". Thanks to Ian Campbell from NCD Australia whose article is based
on a presentation held during the NCD World Summit last October.
Every blessing for your ministry,
Christoph Schalk, NCD International |

Radical Therapy or Church Cosmetics? |
|
When NCD started in the USA a couple of years ago, I was involved
in training the first generation of NCD coaches. I remember that the night
before, we had dinner with Dave Wetzler, our NCD Partner, at a restaurant,
and I asked him if he had already received any feedback from the first
churches using NCD. His answer was, "Not much, but there was one negative
feedback."

NCD - a Long Term Process (Part 1) |
|
If you are a leader who wants to see
lasting, sustainable, healthy growth in your church, you cannot
approach NCD without taking a long term view. The process of
applying NCD principles effectively takes time. Process may
be the wrong word. It is a fulfilling, satisfying and enjoyable
journey of partnering with God to grow your church (and
yourself) to maturity. Leaders already on this journey would say
only one thing: "Get on board and don't miss out." ―> more... |
