World Evangelical Alliance - Join Us as We Celebrate 180 Years

For 180 years, the story of the World Evangelical Alliance has been the story of people—men and women from different nations, cultures and generations, united by our faith in Jesus Christ and our commitment to make Him known. During the general assembly in 1956, J. Elwin Wright, who was serving as Co-Secretary of the World Evangelical Fellowship at the time, described the “real VIPs” of our movement as those who bore scars for the Lord Jesus Christ.   This September, I warmly invite you to join our global WEA family for two special moments of prayer, celebration and renewed commitment.
