Willie and Lydia Crew are the founders and international ambassadors and team mentors of World Mission Centre. Driven by the mandate of the church in Acts 1:8, Willie and Lydia have spent much of their energy to provoke, enthuse, and inspire local churches around the world to the task of world evangelization. They have dared to dream and risk it all in faith and obedience to the Lord. They have dared to think outside the box and they have worked tirelessly at developing and testing models and projects in order to assist local churches in getting involved in missions.

With wisdom that comes with age, they have recognized the need to raise up a team of younger leaders that can guide WMC into the future. For this reason they now spend considerable time mentoring the next generation of missional leaders. For most of the regional team leaders and their families, Willie and Lydia are like second parents.
