Congress WBN (C-WBN) is an international nonprofit based in Trinidad and Tobago and with operations on every continent (except Antarctica) and in over 100 nations. C-WBN has eight sectors of strategic operations involving networks of professional groups, educational institutions, businesses, global technology initiatives, churches, individual national leaders, and university students; and aims to create human, social and national development.
The C-WBN development approach is based on its belief that long-term success results from consistent work by dedicated people with clearly defined ethics. C-WBN focuses on scalable projects with the potential for long-term national impact.
The organization was founded in 2004 by Dr. Noel Woodroffe, who serves as its President. C-WBN has executive offices in St. Joseph, Trinidad and London, UK.
Congress WBN (C-WBN) evolved out of the World Breakthrough Network (WBN) which was founded in 1994 by Dr. Noel Woodroffe in Port-of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. There, the initial presentation of the network was made to leaders of twelve church ministries gathered in the Holiday Inn Hotel.
From that first meeting, Congress WBN has developed into an international organization expanding from its Caribbean and church base. It consists of 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.
The President and Founder of the Congress is Dr. Noel Woodroffe, and he operates out of his primary base, Elijah Centre Global, which is made up of a main community called the "Nexus" in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies and more than ten communities, termed "Embassies", around the globe.
The Congress operates in over 100 nations on all continents, excluding Antarctica.
