On March 25, 2005, in Moscow the Agape Center is holding a meeting for NCD licensed partners with participation of Roland Kurth, the director of "Agape International" (Switzerland).

Many church leaders from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus still mistakenly believe that NCD is just another program or a church model, while in truth it is a healthy lifestyle of any Christian community, including the local church. In the past few years we have conducted a number of training seminars, attended by over 35,000 pastors and church leaders. The Natural Church Develoment project has partners in individual churches, regional associations and national Christian unions and provides regular training seminars and meetings for these partners.

The meeting in March will include:

• News from the International NCD summit (October, 2004)
• Methodology of conducting advanced surveys with the help of Profile Plus
• New forms of partnership — the network of regional coaches
• New prospects of implementing NCD in Russian-speaking churches
• New opportunities of applying NCD principles in your work
