WEA Day — September 27th
PRAY • CONNECT • COLLABORATE
He who began a good work in you will carry if on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 (opens in new tab)
19 August 1846, around 900 Christian Leaders gathered in London as an expression of unity. They chose to make visible a unity that was already true. That room was the seed of the World Evangelical Alliance.
Today, the World Evangelical Alliance connects national alliances in more than 164 nations and over 100 international organizations, serving a worldwide evangelical family of more than 650 million Christians.
On WEA Sunday, we celebrate this remarkable story with gratitude to God.
Bishop Edward Bickersteth, a participant in the 1846 gathering. pictured the fellowship of believers in heaven and on earth, closed the conference with these lines he composed himself.
Pray for WEA
We warmly invite believers across the WEA global family to celebrate WEA Sunday, giving thanks for God's faithfulness across generations and looking with confidence toward all that He continues to do through His Church.
WEA Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate the unity we share in Christ. One possibility is a pulpit exchange, inviting a minister from another church or denomination within the national alliance to preach, while your minister serves in another congregation. Other expressions might include shared prayer, testimonies, Scripture readings, joint gatherings, or recognition of the ministries of other churches and Christian communities.
Above all, we invite all to join in prayer with our global evangelical family.
