For the past year, MissionInsite(MI) has been working to update and improve their PeopleView platform. They are nearing the time when the next generation PeopleView User Interface will be deployed. The improvements fall into two major system design areas; system architecture and the client interface that you use when working in the platform.
System Architecture: Part of the focus was on making the overall platform more scalable, more secure, and easier to integrate with various data systems. These behind the scene improvements will allow MI to fully leverage both current and future technologies.
Client Interface: The primary goal here was to make the platform easier to use and provide for quicker access to your data. In addition to a more modern look and feel, the menu structure, reports and tools are grouped and organized in a more consolidated and intuitive fashion. This results in quicker task completion and reduced training requirements for even the occasional user.
MI has created a WEBPAGE which will be updated regularly to keep you informed.
CPH has published "Martin Luther's Basic Exegetical Writings", an overview of Luther's exegetical work that sparked the Reformation. Get more information HERE

Discipline is not a club of correction, but a laser of love.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! (Hebrews 12:9)
