The word “stagnant” conjures unpleasant images, but it’s the best word for some of the situations I see in churches. No movement, no progress, just sitting and letting thin

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

The best advice that I could give when I see a stagnant church is to look at your Board. Whether you have a Board of Direc

Examples of combination products may in

ample of the Holy Spirit, you have to shake up your Board.

Whenever I engage a church in a business relationship, I ask for a list of their Board of Directors. The more tr

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

When I tell people that I write grants, I get an overwhelming res

Why are the decent church workers overwhelmed? Because the lack of dynamic leadership results in a

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

Too many church leaders have lived with crisis for so l

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip
