About WEC International

Passionate to see Africans living in the fullness of Christ, a 53-year-old man in questionable health set sail for the heart of Africa in 1913. During the journey God told C.T. Studd that his trip would not be merely for Africa; it would be for the whole world. God kept His word. The tiny Heart of Africa Mission grew and eventually became WEC International. Today WEC works in more than 75 countries.

WEC’s Aim is to share the gospel with as many of the world’s unreached people as possible before Jesus returns. Our primary objective is to gather believers into local church bodies and lead them to spiritual maturity. Wherever God places us we endeavor to motivate and train believers for cross-cultural service. We also acknowledge our responsibility to demonstrate Christ’s compassion to a needy world.

WEC is a multi-ethnic, multi-national and multi-denominational family of more than 1700 members. We are bound together by shared convictions, a desire to live a godly lifestyle and an unwavering commitment to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Our oneness in Him makes it possible for us to work together as brothers and sisters. It compels us to accept each other irrespective of gender, ethnicity, nationality or church affiliation. It constrains us to care for the wellness of our entire WEC family and calls for international cooperation with local and national churches, and with other Christian agencies.
