. . . so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?". . . . . ."Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." How can we fulfill the command of Jesus to "love our neighbor" when we don't know who our neighbor is? Now, discovering your church’s ministry opportunities has never been easier. The MI System provides you with a new way to access demographic information. It moves beyond the static reports you order to a powerful “discovery tool” for exploration and “out of the box” thinking for church ministry, church planting, church growth and outreach. The system also provides the ability for local churches to locate their church members and others affiliated with their church on your map. This is referred to as Congregant Plot. So, while there are a few things you need to learn, the system is designed to be user friendly and provides you with additional services not available from other systems. Have fun exploring your mission context and remember there is no possibility of accidentally harming the system or data.Before getting registered, you are encouraged to explore the documents in the Resource area for the Local Church – especially the Tutorial, Introduction to MissionInsite, Local Church User Guide and How To Create A Report. An Additional Resource comes from William Moore from the Ashland District. He has developed a series of videos you can watch at the links below Overview of the new platform interface: http://screenr.com/ueh (4 minutes, 55 seconds) (Hint…. As you are watching the video’s on Screenr there is a little box on the bottom right of the video player that has a circle with four triangles around it… if you click it the video will play full screen and you will be able to see what I am doing more clearly.
**The Mosaic Worksheet is a tool to use with each of the 60 full Mosaic Type Portraits. Churches are finding that the detail in these reports provides a greater insight into the socio-economic realities of residents living within their communities. This insight assists them in reaching these residents.
