Our Story

Origin

The Issachar Coll3ctive was envisioned by Dr. Noah Manyika and is the culmination of decades of conversations, friendships, and partnerships with leaders across ministry, business, and social impact. Launched in 2025 alongside his book Redeeming Sundar: Faith and Innovation in the Age of AI, it draws inspiration from the biblical tribe of Issachar - renowned for their understanding of the times and wisdom to act (1 Chronicles 12:32) -and the fearless and informed resolve of Caleb (Numbers 13 & 14), who refused to let fear stand in the way of God’s promises.

 

The Coll3ctive is committed to bridging the gap between faith and innovation, equipping the faith community to become God-honoring change agents who harness technology and creativity for personal transformation, collective impact, and societal flourishing. It is a clarion call to embrace lives fully lived and leadership holistically expressed as essential to fulfilling the Creation Mandate and the Great Commission.

Why Coll3ctive with a 3?

The "3" in Coll3ctive represents the core pillars of our mission: Vision, Action, and Transformation. It’s a reminder to think differently, create boldly, and lead innovatively. The stylized "3" reflects our commitment to modern solutions for timeless values and positions The Issachar Coll3ctive as a platform that unites faith, innovation, and action to meet today’s challenges head-on.
