From that first meeting, Congress WBN has developed into an international organization expanding from its Caribbean and church base into a diverse expression of human and social development intiaitives. It now consists eight Sectors of operation involving networks of kingdom communities, professional groups, educational institutions, nations-development initiatives, businesses, individual national leaders, university students and technology initiatives.

Programs
The Las Lomas Project
Starting with the community located at Kernaham Trace, the Las Lomas Project was launched in 2003 with a mandate to implement strategic and sustainable spiritual, social and human development.
Interventions have included health clinics, drama presentations, art and craft workshops, youth interactions and an entrepreneurial development workshop, all of which fall under the umbrella of the key focal areas of health, education, social services and infrastructure development.
One of the project’s objectives is to identify leaders within the community and activate them to a place of function in order to ensure sustainable long term development and community empowerment.
EMPOWER Projects
While the Las Lomas project deals with community transformation on a local scale, EMPOWER projects, on the other hand, have global spread. They help to create communities that are EMPOWER-ed: Energized, Motivated, Purpose-driven, Organized, Well-developed, Equipped and Resourceful.
Founded on the values of empathy, dignity, respect, equalisation, hope, collaboration and transparency, EMPOWER is an active synergy of development projects, initiated by residents from communities all across the world.
Currently, there are fifty EMPOWER projects located in over ten countries, all of which seek to ensure that individual projects are effective, strategic and have the greatest possible impact.
