About North Africa

WEC serves communities across North Africa.

WEC teams are involved in a variety of ministries, ranging from outreach to church planting, and tent-making to missional business. We also serve alongside other Christian agencies, and with the local church where it exists.

Our desire is to see the peoples of this region come to faith in Jesus, gathered into indigenous communities of believers, serving and joining the work of sharing the good news.

We cannot give details online about the countries, situations and opportunities we have found where you can serve in North Africa, but we will be able to tell you more when you meet us face to face.

WEC's ministry in France is wide-ranging and involves both sending and receiving Christian workers. WEC partners with evangelical churches in France to send workers to minister cross-culturally all over the world, but France is also a country where many do not know what it means to have a living faith in Jesus Christ.

Church planting teams are working amongst indigenous French, Basque and immigrant communities across France.
