One day a priest came to Francis of Assisi and said, "Francis, I know you are a great preacher. Would you teach me how to preach the Gospel?" So Francis agreed. They went off to feed the hungry, to give shelter to the homeless, to take some orphans to a home that would care for them. At the end of the day Francis and the priest had cared for over 50 people. The priest said, "Francis, this is all wonderful work, but when are you going to teach me how to preach the Gospel?" Francis replied, "We've been preaching the Gospel all day through how we have lived the day. Preach the Gospel always, if necessary use words."

One World Online, Inc. was founded to promote the Gospel values of:
1. Caring for the poor
2. Treating your neighbor as yourself
3. Helping the sick
4. Befriending the lonely
5. Defending the displaced and oppressed.

Regardless of personal or organizational faith, One World Onlne seeks
to provide tools for individuals, non-profits, missions organizations,
churches, and community groups to inact these values in order to "make
a world of difference," in the lives of others.

Obviously, both Christian and secular organizations promote these
values and we will aid both when prudent. The VP's committee provides
information about each organization's affiliation, mission and
statement of faith to help you be involved within limits that respect
your personal values and faith.
