EMCC World Partners is the international, cross-cultural and relief & development arm of the EMCC operating in numerous countries of the world. At the 1993 EMCC merger, World Partners was continued as the joint missions program of the EMCC and MC Inc. governed by a single board. In January 1998, the missions program of the two denominations was divided and World Partners became World Partners Canada and World Partners USA. World Partners Canada became EMCC World Partners soon thereafter. Initially, WP Canada had the oversight of the fields of Mexico, Nigeria, and Spain, but later WP USA took oversight of Spain and WP Canada took oversight of the field in Brazil. In 2005 the Board of EMCC World Partners ceased to function under a new denominational organizational structure where the missions program was the responsibility of the President and the National Board.
