FOUNDED IN 1989
World Mission Centre was founded in 1989 by Willie and Lydia Crew. In 2019 they passed down the leadership of the organization to William and Shirley Crew. Today, Willie and Lydia continue to serve as ambassadors and oversee other world regions where WMC operates. The leadership team consists of 13 who have all served the organization in various capacities. Many of which have served for more than 15 years. Every day we are blessed to see how God is using this team around the world to provoke, inspire, equip, and release leaders to the task of finishing the great commission.
The Live School project has seen a huge acceleration in the last year. Our leadership team is constantly traveling around the world to encourage team members and Live School students in the 97 countries we work in, while also engaging with new pastors and churches in those countries. Our staff members keep the wheels turning in the administrative offices.

“God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity we plan to do only the things that we can do by ourselves.”

World Mission Centre was founded in Pretoria in 1989 by Willie and Lydia Crew with the vision to provoke, enthuse and inspire the body of Christ to be released to the task of world evangelization. To this end, WMC started working with and encouraging thousands of churches across Africa to become involved in missions.

World Mission Centre is called to provoke, enthuse and inspire the body of Christ in order that it my be released to the task of world evangelization. To help the churches (especially in South Africa) be released into missions, we found it helpful to develop ministry models that churches could adopt and begin their work in world evangelization. These models were developed and tested within the organization first and then made available for churches to use. Some of these projects were:
