History
WEC was founded in 1913 by Charles Studd (CT), the cricketer. The organization began as the Heart of Africa mission, changing its name to Worldwide Evangelisation Crusade. Later, recognising some misunderstandings with using the word "crusade", the mission was renamed as Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ (WEC International).
