Platform Overview

One platform for everything. Leaders manage their networks, admins see the full picture, and every disciple's journey is tracked from first contact to baptism.

Where Things Stand

How It Works Today

Right now, data and tools are spread across six different systems. None of them talk to each other, and leaders have to jump between apps to get anything done.

Wix
Public website
Server API
Backend on AWS
Google Sheets
The actual database for day-to-day operations
Leader App
Netlify
Dashboard App
Netlify
SharePoint
Documents
Key issue: Member records, network data, and login info are stored in a Google Spreadsheet. The access keys to that data are visible in the app code, which means they are not protected the way they should be.
What Changes

Everything in One Place

Instead of six disconnected tools, everything moves into two portals that share the same data. Leaders only see their own network. Admins see everything.

One database, proper logins, shared data
What this means day to day:
One source of truth
No more copying data between apps. When someone updates a member, it shows up everywhere.
Real logins
Each person signs in with their own account. No shared passwords. Leaders see only their network.
Works everywhere
The platform loads quickly for leaders in any country, not just the US.

Data Structure

How Everything Connects

The platform is built around the way JD actually works. Here is how the main pieces fit together.

🌐
Regions and Areas
The world is divided into 11 regions. Each region has areas, and each area contains networks.
👥
Networks
Each network has a leader, members, groups, and its own landing page. 148 networks across 106 nations.
👤
Disciples
Every person has a profile with their groups, notes, baptism date, follow-up history, and progress.
📚
Groups
Discipleship groups belong to a network. They can grow into house churches through a guided process.
📊
Scorecards
Leaders submit biweekly health reports. Admins review them with color-coded scoring to spot who needs help.
🎧
Content
Videos, Bible studies, and checklists managed centrally. Assigned per network in English and Spanish.
Security

Protecting Your Data

A side-by-side look at how data is protected today versus on the new platform.

Today
✗Member data lives in a Google Spreadsheet
✗Access keys are visible in the app code
✗Some apps use shared passwords or no login at all
✗Any logged-in user can see any record
✗No way to know who changed what
New Platform
✓Data is in a real database with proper access controls
✓All keys and secrets stored on the server, never in the browser
✓Everyone gets their own login with optional two-factor
✓Leaders only see their own network's data
✓Every change is logged with who made it and when
