WEC's Core Values | Steps to Full Time Service | Goals for 2010

WEC = Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ

WEC Mexico's Core Values

  1. Work with the Mexican church.
    We recognise that God is raising up in Mexico a strong and growing church, and therefore feel that we should work in partnership with the Mexican churches.

  2. Work primarily to meet the spiritual needs of the Mexican people.
    We recognise that the basic need of every person is that of salvation and an ongoing walk with God. While not neglecting other needs, we focus our attention on this primary need: making disciples who are able to deal with all aspects of life.

  3. Train others to complete the missionary task.
    As a team we can achieve many things; however if we raise up and train new workers and missionaries our work will have a multiple and much wider reach. We also believe that the Lord would send out many Mexicans as missionaries to other countries.

  4. Fellowship.
    We recognise the vital importance of fellowship, as much within WEC Mexico team as with our Mexican co-labourers. This will mean mutually supporting one another, considering others better than ourselves.

  5. Develop teams.
    Our strength as the body of Christ comes as we work together and for this reason we are committed to develop teams within our WEC body and with our Mexican brothers.

  6. Prayer.
    Recognising that we are in the midst of a spiritual battle, we commit ourselves to prayer, primarily for each other and the continued growth of the body of Christ in Mexico, but also for the world in general.


WEC's Convictions

  • We recognise the importance of research and responding to God's directions for advance.

  • We promote local and innovative strategies through decentralised decision-making.
  • We make no appeals for funds.

Long Term Workers

These are people who know the Lord has called them to serve on a long-term basis. WEC has over 700 openings for traditional missionaries, including church planters, translators, evangelists, youth workers, Bible teachers, etc. Some long term workers may be called to "Creative Access Nations" (CAN), where normal activity is difficult. We CAN make "unreachable" people reachable!

Requirements for long-term workers:

  • love the Lord Jesus Christ
  • believe the Bible
  • show maturity of character
  • be adequately trained
  • have a desire to share Jesus with others
  • want to reach unreached peoples
  • be flexible enough to adapt to others
  • trust God in every situation
If you are interested in joining WEC take a look at the Steps to Full Time Service.

Bible College

Normally, anyone who is called to do the work of a missionary on a long term basis is required to complete a two year Bible course at an evangelical Bible College. (Other forms of training and experience will normally be taken into account.) WEC has four colleges located in Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and The Netherlands. These offer full time programmes lasting two or three years. For those with some Bible training already, there is also the option of the Gateway Cross Cultural Training Centre in Canada which gives a special one year programme in missions. If Spanish is your first language you could also consider the CCT (Centro de Capacitación Transcultural) located in Morelos, Mexico.

Selection Procedure

Each applicant wishing to join WEC is carefully screened by asking them to answer questions regarding their doctrinal position, medical fitness and general attitude. We expect applicants to have already demonstrated a desire to serve God in their local churches. Contact is made with the applicant's home church as soon as formal enquiry is made. Once it is clear that the church's leadership is sympathetic and supportive, we involve them in the whole selection process.

Candidates Orientation (CO)

Once a person has been accepted as a candidate, they spend eight to sixteen weeks on a candidates programme, being orientated about their service with WEC International and prepared for their life overseas. It is a time of integration into the WEC "family" as the candidates and the mission come to know each other. Candidates will make a study of the country they are going to and are involved in the life of the sending base, doing practical work and getting to know how WEC operates. During this period candidates are responsible to the Candidates Director who keeps their sending church informed of progress.
