Asia Continental Team Announcement
WCC International Proudly Congratulates India on being appointed as the Lead Nation for Asia for the term 2025–2027.
In addition to this Honorable Position, India has also been Globally Recognized and entrusted with the following key responsibilities:
Global In-Charge of Media & Social Media Promotion for WCC
Media Promotion Lead for the Global “Say No to Drugs” Campaign, in collaboration with the Africa Continental Team
We celebrate this significant milestone and extend our blessings to the WCC India Team as they take on these impactful Global Roles with Vision, Excellence, and Dedication.
"Honoring the Torchbearers of Faith whose lives, leadership, and legacy continue to awaken a generation and shine the Light of Christ."
The selection of these respected figures has taken place through one or more of the following channels:
Self-nomination by the leaders themselves
Nomination by WCC Council Members (International, National, or State level)
Recommendation by the WCC World Council or its regional chapters
Direct communication or personal meetings with WCC leadership. We believe that inspiration flows through both well-known and emerging voices in the Christian world. WCC welcomes recommendations of spiritual leaders and role models whose lives reflect Christ’s mission. Council members or ministry partners may suggest new names for future consideration as Spiritual Patrons or Inspirational Leaders.
WCC Japan is currently undergoing a process of updating and adding new names to our list of Spiritual Patrons, Guides, and Inspirations.
The updated list will be published on or before 1st July 2025.
In the meantime, any WCC member may suggest Christian leaders whose lives and ministries inspire others.
Together, we continue to honor the legacy of leadership and answer the call to shine the light of Christ across the nations.
Thank you, and God bless you!
