"As I have gone through the material, I have been greatly impressed
when, page after page, new (to me), highly relevant and valuable material has appeared.
You are to be congratulated for developing an inform- ation gathering and sharing
format that I feel sure is of tremendous help to churches such as ours, institutions
that could never amass the resources to do this kind of study." |

"What a gold mine!
…Not only are leaders spared the tedium of prying out by hand the proper census
data for their ministry area; this basic material is now enhanced with a close analysis
of local lifestyle subgroups and is summarized in an attractive graphic format." |

"We find it an effective tool and use it often. Our evangelism committee uses
it to help focus our energies and strategize our outreach program. The Profile also
helps us increase awareness among the various ethnic groups we have within a 5-mile
radius of our church." |

"The Ministry Area Profile has helped many of our churches in their efforts
to reach out
to their respective communities. The information provided is really excellent—
it's the best I know of." |

"I use the Ministry Area Profile really extensively and find it tremendously
helpful. We use it for both evangelism and fund-raising. As an example of how useful
the information can be, the budgeted day-care center in our new building fund was
controversial until the Profile showed us that 33% of the households in our area
had children under five years old and 67% of the women worked!" |
