The TRIBALDEX™ report provides comprehensive, customized information for a specified ministry study area. For each of the major lifestyle segments in your ministry study area, you will receive maps, segment descriptions, community demographic characteristics, lifestyle characteristics, and a “Missional Segment Wheel” with an explanation of the following social identity characteristics: ethnic categories, lifestyle & lifestage categories, and socioeconomic, urbanicity, religious, and household structure. The “Global Lifestyle” information on the Missional Cyclopedia website links the lifestyle segments to similar lifestyles in over 20 countries around the world.

Report Worksheets
The worksheets provide a step-by-step procedure to identify significant groups of people in the community, where these groups live within the community, and the impact their characteristics have on reaching them for Christ, discipling them and congregationalizing them. The worksheets are designed as a group exercise -- where a missional team can identify pockets of various types of people and then discuss the implications these pockets have for evangelization and discipleship.
Report Training
Ministry Context Analysis training is included in the iFOCUS Basic Training process. Here participants use their own TRIBALDEX report in conjunction with presentations and dialogue regarding God’s Activity in the Community, Community Spirituality Issues, and Community Identity Issues. Participants learn how people use aspects of their social identities to create social groups. Their customized TRIBALDEX report lists many social categories that people in their community may use to create these social or “neotribal” groups.
