footprint in mudWEC Trek is the short-term programme of WEC International.

We send both individuals and teams overseas to participate in evangelism, practical help and language learning alongside WEC workers.

WEC Trek’s goal is to provide you with an opportunity to learn what is involved in sharing Christ cross-culturally.

WEC Trek will help you explore whether God is leading you towards longer-term missionary service overseas, or perhaps more missions involvement at home.

WEC Trek offers two different tracks

An individual Trek offers a tailor-made placement alongside experienced WEC workers in the country of your choice.

These individualised placement opportunities can be for up to a year in duration.

Team Trek opportunities exist each year.

You can join a team of between four and ten people, with an experienced team leader, where you will assist long-term WEC workers in a variety of ministries around the world.

Team Treks usually go out during the summer months, and typically last for between three to five weeks.

Team Treks in 2008 will be going to Korea, Italy and Mexico.

Trek Deeper!

series of Trekking Deeper booksOur pre-field preparation, supervised placement, review, and follow-up make the WEC Trek programme more than just a short-term trip. It is more like a discipleship programme for cross-cultural workers.

Trekking Deeper is a devotional discipleship course written by Phil Gresham, specifically for short-term volunteers to use during their placements. The aim of the course is to help Trekkers keep their focus on Christ and grow spiritually while they are on assignment.

WEC Trek UK is working towards the Global Connections code of best practice in short-term programmes. This means that we will endeavour to ensure that each element of the programme will be excellent.
