World Wide Open

World Wide Open is a fast growing online network of action oriented Christians, churches and non-profits. Their mission is to maximize the global impact of the Church by eliminating apathy and redundancy which are fueled by a lack of knowledge, connectivity and opportunities to get involved. Their global web-based network of Christians, churches and organizations are interconnected with thousands of user-generated resources and service opportunities so anyone, anywhere can learn about local and global issues and make an impact. WWO is currently available in 8 languages and is used by over 12,000 leaders in more than 100 countries.
