With only a few weeks left in the semester, the Wesley feels busier than ever! Each week on Tuesday nights we see more new students and have been encouraged by the community that God continues to build. One of the main reasons we average over 60 in attendance each week is that our students regularly bring new friends. For us as a staff, students’ desire to have their friends come be a part is a marker of a healthy ministry.
Kobie Johnson is a student who just started coming to Wesley at the end of the last academic year. This year he has thoroughly invested himself in serving our student body. Kobie and three other college guys live in our Wesley House dorm and are always ready to move chairs, set up tables, cook food, eat food, sit down to listen when someone needs to talk, and always ready to play ping pong. One of the things I love about Kobie is that he so genuinely loves people, loves the Lord, and wants to see everyone around him grow in Christ.
As a part of our Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign, we highlight how the Wesley has impacted students just like Kobie by posting their own thoughts and a photo on our social media accounts. Your prayers, your giving, and your presence as you serve make what God has done in the lives of students like Kobie possible. Here’s how the Wesley has impacted Kobie in his own words:
“At Wesley, I found something uniquely precious. A sense of home and belonging my life has never known. It exists not just as a community of believers, but an active cohesive church body.”
Please join us on Giving Tuesday for a chance to help the ministry at Wesley continue to provide a sense of home and place of belonging for students like Kobie. Join us Tuesday, November 30th and all throughout the month of November as we raise vital support to continue to serve through worship, discipleship, and creating home away from home for students at the Wesley House.
