T. Studd \" width=\"272\" height=\"286\" \/>In 1913, Charles Thomas Studd, the England cricketer who had already served Christ in China and India, felt God calling him to pioneer a new mission. Passionate to see Africans worshipping Christ, this 53-year-old man of suspect health set sail for the heart of Africa. During the journey, God told CT that his trip would not be just for Africa, but for the whole world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God kept his word. He turned one man\u2019s crazy adventure into a mission and a movement that has since touched millions of lives. Before CT\u2019s death, teams of missionaries had joined WEC to work in Central and West Africa, Amazonia, the Middle East and the Himalayan region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each decade has brought fresh challenges and new opportunities for the gospel.
