Global ConneXion: connecting spiritual movements everywhere
Global ConneXion (GCX) is a powerful web platform (you can call it a software) that allows the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ to build websites to share ideas and collaborate. Eventually, this technology will expand so we can produce evangelistic websites and other ministry-related community groups on the fly.
But Global ConneXion is more than about building the best websites. It's about ministry. It's a place for Christians around the world to encourage each other, share stories and develop relationships. It's also a place to access the very best resources Campus Crusade has to offer. And with evangelistic materials translated into multiple languages, you can be sure to find just the tool for any person you meet.
Community drives Global ConneXion. It's the nerve center. Staff members around the globe can now connect with each other in a common place and a common language. We're helping the feelings of isolation become a thing of the past.
Global ConneXion is a communication tool unlike any other in history. Powerful enough to overcome geographic and cultural boundaries, yet it's still simple enough for anyone to use. More than a website, it's a network of communities designed to bring the transforming power of the Gospel to every life. It's your instant connection to God's work of changing lives every minute of every day, across the nations.
Global ConneXion (GCX) will:
Connect people, ministries, and movements
Empower with strategies and vision
Equip with tools and resources
Inform with best practices
Identify people in teams and locations
Provide access to ministry experts

The Wisdom of the Crowd
Keith Seabourn
Research is finding that often a group's average answer to a common challenge is a much more accurate than most individuals' answers. A recent guess-the-m&m's-in-a-jar experiment in Campus Crusade found that the group average was more accurate than 93% of the individual estimates.
