OC Research launches website

OC’s Global Research Department offers valuable resources to the Body of Christ through a new website, www.OCresearch.info. This site showcases some of best work of OC mission workers and offers information, practical “how to” wiki articles and resources for all mission researchers.

welcome

Features of the website include:
• Blog-style articles about OC research.
• OC Research FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions about OC’s research ministries
• Research Wiki – practical how to information about mission field research
• Research Downloads – reports, case studies, training resources and more.
• Research Links – useful research websites.

This website was initiated by Larry Kraft, OC’s Global Director of Research. It is a part of Larry’s plan to train and provide resources for the next generation of mission researchers, both inside and outside of OC. Larry says…

“In my role now as Global Director of Research, I ask myself, “What is the legacy I want to leave when my years of service with OC are over?” For me, the answer is clear. I want to see a new generation of mission workers (workers of all sorts who go to needy places to announce and incarnate the Kingdom), English-speaking and not, effectively doing all sorts of research for good strategy and intercession. I want younger people with talent and passion, who have God’s call upon their lives for cross-cultural service, to be trained and encouraged to use their intellect and skills to help the Church make wise decisions for growth.”

“To this end, I’m investing more of my time in training and mentoring others. I imagine I will still maintain some of the activities I so enjoy, like doing maps and surveys for some of our partners. But I want to be increasingly passing on the vision and skills the Lord has worked into my life these past 27 years.”

“At the end of my career, it would thrill me to see every mission endeavor assisted by equipped and impassioned strategic thinkers who gather good information for ministry.”
