WEC Africa
We are one of many WEC International Support Branches worldwide, partnering with churches across Africa to mobilize African missionaries to serve among unreached peoples alongside WEC teams around the globe.
OUR VISION
Partnering with the Church in Africa in sending cross-cultural workers to make disciples of Christ amongst the unreached in the region and beyond.
OUR GOAL
Our goal is to have well-trained, spirit-filled African cross-cultural workers who will ‘give it all for Jesus’ being sent out to the least reached globally.
“If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.”

Got any questions?
We've got answers!
Each missionary organization has its own identity, and none is necessarily better than another. What truly matters is finding a mission that aligns with your calling, your values, and the purpose God has placed in your heart.
At WEC, our focus is to bring the gospel to places where it has not yet been proclaimed. Everything we do, whether through short-term or long-term ministries, is aimed at seeing Christ-centered communities emerge among unreached peoples.
No matter how long you serve or what gifts, skills, and experiences you bring, your involvement will be part of a greater vision: to see disciples of Jesus raised up in places where the gospel is still unknown. That might mean going to remote regions, facing cultural challenges, or walking alongside local churches in difficult contexts.
Through partnerships with African churches, we seek to reach these hearts with the hope of Christ.
Is God calling you to be part of this mission?
Currently, we have around 500 open opportunities to serve among unreached peoples. You can learn more by visiting our website.
Where you will serve and what your ministry will be are often two of the biggest questions people consider. We will work with you and your church to discern the direction the Lord is leading. At the same time, you need to carefully consider WEC as an organization and whether you and your church would be happy to partner with us.
Requirements for Joining WEC
To begin your missionary journey with WEC, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be regenerated by the Holy Spirit and live a life committed to Christ
- Be active and engaged in your local church
- Have a clear conviction of your missionary calling
- Have the recommendation and support of your church

For couples: both must meet all the requirements. However, we are open to evaluating cases in which only one spouse has not yet completed theological training.
Next Steps
If you meet the criteria above, the first step is to complete the application form for Candidate Orientation. After that, we will send additional documents that must be filled out and returned to the coordination team.
Once reviewed and approved, you will be officially notified and can begin preparing for the Candidate Orientation phase at WEC.
About the CO (Candidate Orientation)
The CO is a program which its purpose is to foster connection between the candidate and WEC, strengthen mutual fellowship and trust, and confirm the candidate’s direction toward cross-cultural missions.
The easiest way is to fill out the contact form on our website. Once we receive your submission, we’ll get in touch to schedule a time to talk together about how the Lord is leading you.
Yes. The Bible clearly shows that the church sends missionaries (for example, Acts 13) and carries an ongoing pastoral responsibility for them. While WEC is a key partner in the process and facilitates ministry among unreached peoples, we will not accept anyone as a member who does not have a positive recommendation and support from their church. WEC will discuss your application with your church leaders, after all, they know you better than we do, as together we seek to discern whether this is truly God’s calling for your life.
That depends on your profession and where you’re going. If there is a need and it’s appropriate, the likelihood is yes. If your professional skills are not needed or suitable, that doesn’t mean you’re not needed, because we trust you still have transferable skills to offer.
