World Wide Open
I had a friend point me to a really interesting website / idea. It is called World Wide Open, and it is a group of Christians who want to connect the gifts and passions of the body of Christ with the needs of the world. They also want to create a shared space for the expertise of the body of Christ to further enable the ability to meet needs and spread the gospel.
It is really and incredible idea, and the more I think on it the more it seems so possible. Especially if there was a universal web space that the body of Christ shared. The challenge is to spread not only the vision but the use of the tool as well. That will be difficult because it is hard to build momentum with out using a “brand”, but brands are divisive as well.
And it can’t just be another Christian Social Network, because the way social networks have been built their goal is to keep you online for ad sales. The purpose of this site would need to be connection, empowerment, and then prompts and tools for actual action offline. Like a combination of Facebook and Meetup, with a strong Wikipedia element and a dose of Pownce.
What a daunting task! But man would I ever be excited to see this come about, I would sign up for sure!!!
