Oikos V2 is now in development.

The last couple of years we have been building a community-building platform, especially designed for small group ministry. This web-based software enables people to build their own interactive social networks that are safe and secure.

But Oikos is more than a social network. It is an organic, community-building tool for building relationships, prayer networking, and evangelism.

For about six months, Oikos (our original design) has been piloted in churches, college campuses, and missionary organizations. After much feedback and requests from youth ministries, we have decided to upgrade Oikos and give it more features that young people want.

When all is said and done, we hope to build a powerful tool that will impact the lives of millions of young people and influence positive changes across the Christian landscape.

In the next few months we will be collaborating with “visionary” youth leaders here in the U.S. and abroad about merging online interactive technology with small group ministry. I have been talking with Ted Stump of High Impact Ministries about this.

We are also collaborating with Revd. Pete Askew of Anglican Cell UK, a powerful cell church movement in the UK. Pete is Pioneer Minister (Youth Cells) for Anglican Diocese of Ripon and Leeds in the UK. He and his team will be working directly with us in development of Oikos V2.

We also will be collaborating with Amaury Braga, Dawn Ministry’s International Prayer Coordinator about global prayer networking. Amaury will give us insight as to the needs of prayer leaders in other countries such as Latin America. He is paving the way for us to collaborate with Tribal Generation.

We are very excited about collaborating with prayer and cell church leaders in different parts of the world. Together, we will build an amazing tool for online cell-based ministry that facilitates prayer and evangelism, worldwide.
