WAECA stands for Warakamb Adventist Elite and Clergymen's Association. (WAECA inc). It is a non Government, not for profit non political Association. It was founded by the early members and elites of the Warakamb Seventh day Adventist (SDA) Church mainly to spread the Word of the God and prepare the Valley for the second coming.

Warakamb Seventh Day Adventist Church is the only church serving the entire Warakamb Valley. It is part of the Kandep District, Enga Province, PNG. The Warakamb SDA church also looks after few small churches in Lai Valley District of the Southern Highlands Provinvce (SHP). Warakamb is sandwiched between two Highlands Provinces of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Enga and Southern Highlands Provinces. The Warakamb Adventist church is under the administration of the Western Highlands Union Mission. Papua New Guinea is a Pacific island nation, situated just to the north of Australia and east of Indonesia.

WAECA was first conceived in 1998 but got registered with the PNG Investment Promotion Authority (PNG IPA) in 2001. The founding members sat around a burning fire in a little hut on a rainy day, having been inspired by the holy spirit, discussed the founding values of WAECA. Today, WAECA is bigger and has been involved in the conversion of many rural people from living in bad ways to live peacefully, get bapatized and live as good Adventist Christians.

The Three Arms of WAECA - The Clergy, Elites & Associate.
The Association is made up of three main arms, The Associate, The Clergyman and the Elites.
