About WEC

Who we are

WEC International takes the good news to the peoples and nations who have yet to hear it: the good news that Christ came to bring forgiveness of sins and peace with God, and to displace hatred with love.

Listening to, serving and walking alongside local people, we form disciples, expecting to see churches flourish in cultures where Christ is little known. This involves us in many diverse activities, as fits local needs, including: youth work, teaching, medical work, music and the arts, Bible translation and literacy, work with addicts and children in crisis, business skills and helping local Christians share the gospel cross-culturally.

WEC is committed to finding new, creative and culturally-relevant ways of doing mission.

What we do

WEC’s primary goal is to take the gospel to the least-reached peoples of the world, and to see churches planted and growing among them.

To achieve this, we work alongside local churches to:

• evangelise, make disciples and start churches
• translate scriptures and teach literacy
• train leaders, run clinics and hospitals
• rescue and rehabilitate addicts
• care for children in crisis, work with young people
• respond to people’s needs with compassion, wherever Christ sends us.

All this frontline service is supported by people with many other skills: administrators, teachers for missionaries’ children, maintenance workers, writers and designers, IT professionals, and people who nurture our relationships with local churches.

Where we work

With over 1,935 workers in 90 countries, WEC is truly an international church-planting agency.

God is calling Jesus-followers from anywhere to everywhere. This creates possibilities for WEC to partner with people and organisations all over the world, crossing barriers of language and culture. Our focus of activity varies hugely, according to what we sense God wants to do in the local context.
