WME Worldwide Missionary Evangelism

Our History

January 17, 1956
Worldwide Missionary Evangelism was founded January 17, 1956 by one of the world’s leading missionary statesmen, Morris Plotts, known throughout the body of Christ for his vision and commitment to the world of evangelization.

December 21, 1971
In 1971 Brother Morris Plotts met with Rev. W. S. McMasters, Rev. Howard Holton, and Rev. Kemp C. Holden, Jr. indicating his desire to broaden the base of W.M.E. and make it a fellowship that would serve the entire body of Christ. From that time W.M.E. has broadened its base and served many ministers and has provided a catalyst in bringing mission projects, missionaries, and mission-minded ministers together in the building of many churches, Bible schools, and training seminars for national leaders overseas.

February 7, 1975
W.M.E. has sponsored an Annual Ministers Seminar held each February for the strengthening, encouraging, and instruction of ministers. In addition to this seminar, the Annual Missions Conference held in October has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars for mission projects around the world.

Our Activities

Winter Retreat
Each February the ministers of W.M.E. meet in Nashville, Tennessee for renewal, fellowship, and teaching from some of the nation's leading pastors and ministers.

Missions Conferences
At both the national and regional levels these conferences provide an opportunity for the development of a world vision and the chance to participate in "shared missions projects" that would be too large for one single church to sponsor.

Bible Conferences
Regional and National Conferences are held throughout the nation for a time of “coming together” in order to minister to the minister.
