Jesus led twelve disciples to spread the Good News of Christ throughout the region, and from there throughout the world. Churches have learned that ministry through groups of twelve, more or less, is an effective way to accomplish the witness, service and transformation of its members. Since its inception Alcoholics Anonymous has used a twelve step program to help people overcome addiction. Some consider twelve as the Apocolyptic number of what is completed, which forms a whole, a perfect and harmonious unit.
Not to make too much symbolism of the number twelve, we found it interesting that a major re-write of parts of the most important and most frequently used ministry and activities applications of RDS include twelve features.
In the next release of RDS Advantage, Version, 9.17.03, these twelve applications have been rewritten to make them more intuitive and easier and faster to use. All twelve are integrated on one desktop screen, and accessed by a touch of the mouse.
Tabs across the top of the desktop display the following:
These enhancements make it easy for first time users to be fully productive at the outset. Data processing will be accomplished more quickly, and simply, yet the full power and capabilities of the strong RDS database remain.
The release of this RDS Advantage Church Management Software version is expected September 1, 2013.
