Missions Outreach
We exist as a community to help people, all people, find healing in Jesus.
Welcome to Susanna Wesley! We are a mission-focused community of faith seeking
to answer God’s call to step out into the world and
“to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God” Micah 6:8.
As a missional church, our focus is on outreach to the community and beyond, striving to meet the tenets our mission statement “to make Disciples of Christ through loving, serving, encouraging and growing together.” Our endeavors are
prayed over, with the oversight of our Mission Outreach Team.
Our Mission Outreach Team works with the ministries of our community to assist and guide with financial management from our Leadership Board. As a missional church, we tithe as part of our annual church budget
(we set aside 10%+ of our budget for missions).

Please donate to the food pantry these next few months. We are always in need of mac and cheese boxes, canned vegetables, canned meat, pasta, pasta sauce and cereal.
During the month of October, we served 89 families totaling 328 people
(of all ages and veterans) and distributed 2517 pounds of food.

Red Bird Mission Trip - 2024
www.redbirdky.org/
This year's mission team replaced a deck, completed home repairs and supported the ministries of Red Bird's food pantry, community store, senior citizen center, and many other supporting ministries to the community they serve.
This is a year-round work opportunity for volunteers in mission. Work Camp strives to provide home repair for low-income community residents and maintenance for Mission buildings and grounds. Some examples of work projects are roof replacement, small room additions, painting, building porches or ramps, and grounds keeping. Other light duty work is available, such as office work, craft and community store helpers, and recycling. A single fee covers the cost of each person’s lodging, meals and materials used.

Fred Meyer Scholarship Endowment Fund
The Fred Meyer Scholarship Endowment Fund was established in 2001 upon the passing of Fred Meyer. Fred had a passion for learning and the fund has grown through the giving of the community to carry forth Fred's vision of helping our youth continue in their education. The fund has grown through memorial contributions and personal donations over the years. Today, we are drawing upon the donations and investment growth from the investments. The fund has assisted over 25+ students through annual scholarships. The scholarships are open to members and their families.
If you would like more information and an application call the church office (804-642-7551).

Sojourners in Spain
The Missions Ministry of Donald and Carol Paige
Current Situation
We thank God that over the past year, our ministry has seen tremendous growth and impact in Spain and Europe:
- LIFE International School grew from 75 to 109 students and we added 11th grade.
- We took five high school students to a leadership conference in Hungary in October that has now impacted the entire student body.
- Every day many children hear God’s Truth for the first time and are being given reasons to believe that Truth through English, history, science, math, and the Bible.
- The testimony of LIFE has inspired and encouraged other Spanish educators in their callings to start more Christian schools, opening the door for Carol to engage these educators in professional development and biblical worldview training in Spain and other European countries.
The Need
Currently, our account is running a deficit of $11,000. This shortfall affects our ability to:
- Continue our ongoing programs without interruption
- Maintain our living expenses in the field
- Plan for upcoming ministry opportunities
How You Can Help
Your support at this critical time would make a significant difference. Here are two ways you can help:
- One-time Gift: A special donation of any amount would help address the immediate deficit.
- Monthly Support: Consider increasing or starting regular monthly support, which helps ensure long-term financial stability for the ministry.
- Sustaining our ministry at LIFE International School and Christian Schools in Spain to reach Spaniards for Christ.
- Allowing us to remain focused on ministry rather than financial concerns.
- Enabling us to seize new opportunities to expand our reach to other locations in Spain and Europe that need encouragement and training.
Thank you for your faithful partnership over the years. Your prayers and support have been instrumental in all that we've accomplished. We’re grateful for your consideration of this request and look forward to sharing how God uses your generosity to further His work here.
If you have any questions or want more information, please don't hesitate to reach out. We'd be happy to discuss this further.
