What we do
UNDERSTANDING
values - vision - ACTION
Values
We believe that, like the tribe of Issachar, God calls us to understand in order to know what to do.
Vision
Our vision is of an ‘observatory’ or a ‘watchtower’ gathering strategic intelligence, understanding the ‘times’ and the ‘word of God’ and communicating that understanding to support church and mission.
Action
We develop understanding through study and research and communicate it through our publications, website, and conferences.
'understand the times, know what to do' (1 Chronicles 12:32)
