abstract
  • 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 the misunderstandings of using the word "crusade", the mission was re-named as Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ (WEC International). Studd's son-in-law Norman Grubb took over the leadership in 1930, expanding the organisation and establishing recruitment bases in Toronto, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Charlotte, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Uruguay and France. Grubb continued to lead the movement until retiring from the position of International Secretary at the end of 1965.
