PLANNING WITH DATA

This Saturday John Steytler from the Namibia Statistic Agency will help Church and marketplace leaders to understand and and apply the 2011 census demographic data in the planning process for maximizing ministry results.  Praise God for this initiative from Doufi Namalambo [Consulting Synergies Africa].

Pray that church leaders will understand:

• How Namibian census data can be transformed into a useful planning tool.
• How data can tailor plans, improve ministry impact, and reduce costs.
• Identifying unaddressed ministry opportunities and gaps from data.
• Measuring ministry effectiveness by comparing statistical data.

Pray for spiritual leaders to use the data from the census as a road-map to understanding their target market and that new ministry initiatives will come from this to address the poor, needy and other challenges that churches have to face in Namibia.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36
