London 1846. Christians from ten countries, 800 representatives in all, met for the purpose of launching, in their own words, "a new thing in church history, a definite organization for the expression of unity amongst Christian individuals belonging to different churches."
In 1951, believers from 21 countries officially formed the World Evangelical Fellowship. Today, 150 years after the London gathering, WEF is a dynamic global structure for unity and action that embraces 160 million evangelicals in 111 countries. It is a unity based on the historic Christian faith expressed in the evangelical tradition. And it looks to the future with vision to accomplish God's purposes in discipling the nations for Jesus Christ.
For a fuller treatment of WEF's history see the book "People of the Mandate".
