WEC Holds First ‘Swinging with Spirit’ Golf Event for Youth
On a recent July Saturday, the World Evangelical Center (WEC) hosted the first annual youth golf event called “Swinging with Spirit” on its Harlem Valley Golf Course.
Located in upstate New York, the World Evangelical Center spans some 1,000 acres, is home to a number of international ministries and provides space for conferences and training programs. The WEC serves as a center for global evangelical missions, a space for evangelicals to meet and collaborate and an innovative resource hub to equip churches around the world in the hope to build God’s Kingdom on earth.

In an era of rapid technological developments, exciting opportunities arise to collaborate and share the Gospel in new ways with the next generation and those who live in areas that are difficult to reach with traditional evangelism methods.
Training the next generation of leaders is an essential part of what the World Evangelical Center is about. The Professional Education Center seeks to provide a learning environment where younger leaders not only acquire knowledge and skill but are also shaped by fellowship with other believers who devote their lives to building God’s Kingdom and mentoring by older, more experienced Christian leaders in their field.
The ten-story building that towers over the campus and is visible from far away is a former hospital that will be renovated and equipped with modern medical equipment. Its primary purpose will be to serve missionaries, ministers and pastors who struggle to access medical services due to inadequate medical facilities in their countries or unavailable or unaffordable medical insurance.
