Mission FAQ

Why does WEC Hong Kong run short term cross-cultural missions programs?

We run short term programs to give people and their sending churches a taste of cross-cultural church planting with the hope that God will lead them back to that kind of ministry for a longer period.

Do I have to go on a team?

WEC Hong Kong teams usually have four to eight participants. However, we also organize individual placements for people who want to go to a specific place or go for a longer period.

Can my church go?

WEC facilitates churches to go on short term trips. We are happy to prepare, debrief and help in anyway we can to help your church have a short term experience in cross-cultural church planting.

Does WEC prepare and care for short termers?

WEC offers orientation that prepares the team or individual for their experience. It varies in length depending on how long the experience will be. As a rough guide a team going for three weeks will have a day’s orientation whereas an individual going for longer than eight months would do orientation for two weeks. Each orientation for an individual placement is personalised depending on the person’s previous experience. Following the completion of your trip, WEC provides a debriefing and follow up process to help you think through and apply what you have experienced, and readjust to life in Hong Kong.

If you wish having more preparing on missionary, you can also visit our Intercultural Studies Centre. These schools are located in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Netherlands. Please visit Equipping for more information.

Where do WEC Short Termers go?

WEC Short Termers go to one of our areas of ministry that is involved in sharing the story of Jesus, walking with those who want to learn more, and bringing people together into faith communities. Destinations include Asia, Middle East, Africa and Europe.

How much does it cost?

Costs vary depending on the destination and length of the trip. Usually costs within the country, such as accommodation and travel, are cheap. If WEC supplies a team leader then a percentage of the total cost of the trip is put towards the costs of the leader.
