Work alongside a WEC Trek team – reach the unreached together

Team Treks take groups of up to ten people, led by experienced WEC workers. They are a great option if you only have a short time to spare. Each Trek allows team members to develop their personal skills, build relationships and serve the local community. Discover what God can do when you take up the challenge to share his love cross-culturally.

In 2012 WEC Trek UK are organising Team Treks to Southeast Asia, Albania or South Africa, while WEC Resonance are organising Music Treks to Spain, Cambodia, or the UK. There will be other destinations organised in 2013. Download this PDF with full details.
