ABOUT THE HOME-BASE MISSION

For many years, missions have been an essential and fruitful part of the Wesley Foundation and have been a place where many students have been transformed. The intensive time that the mission team spends praying, working, eating, and worshiping together in previous years has led to the unity and maturity of faith of the Wesley community today, and we’re confident that our two-week Home-Base Mission will be just as fruitful.

Since COVID makes it difficult for us to go abroad or even travel in the U.S. safely, we’ve decided to embark on an adventure in reclamation and beautification of the Wesley’s grounds from May 23 to June 6. During that time we will live as full-time missionaries, devoting our attention to the task of transforming the outdoor space of the Wesley. Our hope is that caring for the home-base of our year-round mission field will help our ministry be an even more enjoyable place to invite students to and, more importantly, will aid us in our witness and outreach to the entire campus of Louisiana Tech and the community of Ruston as a whole. Right now, we plan to do projects such as removing dead trees, planting a garden, renovating our deck, and maybe even painting a mural somewhere on the property.

Another aspect of our mission work leading up to the summer will be raising money for one of our mission partners in Mexico. Padre Esaul is a bold and faithful servant in Chihuahua, MX, whom the Wesley had the privilege of working with during our 2019 summer mission. He needs help providing food, electricity, and shelter for around 20 children he is housing at his church.

Please pray for safety during our work, boldness and freedom in being ourselves with one another, for God to show Himself in every bead of sweat, and for us to glorify Him in our stewardship of this ministry that He’s blessed us with. Please also be especially in prayer for Padre Esaul whose continual daily mission work and outreach to the children in his community inspires and reminds us to “not become weary in doing good.”
