REPORTCOLLEGE WESLEYAN CHURCH

Dear CWC Family,

While my family and I have have only been apart of College Church for a few short months, it is clear that our church cares deeply for those in our community and those around the world!

Since June, 36 individuals that are a part of CWC have served globally through short-term mission trips. We have given over $5,000 to relief efforts for both the current refugee crisis in Europe and for the victims of the earthquake in Nepal last spring. We support seven missionaries and their families. We invest heavily in three global areas, Mexico, Mozambique and Zambia. God is using CWC for global ministry!

We care about our neighbors around the world, but we also care about our neighbors here in Grant County. Through our Kids Hope partnership with Frances Slocum Elementa-ry we have nearly 100 mentors investing in the lives of FSE students. We are pouring into students after school through Sounds of Hope. As a church, we are also sharing the love of Christ with individuals from Fire Station #6, individuals from the VIP Lounge, and through investing in the lives of our neighbors in Marion. God is using our church to transform lives throughout our community.

We are only halfway through our fiscal year, and for the next six months we plan to build upon what God has already done through College Wesleyan Church. Much of what we have been allowed to do is only possible because CWC has given generously to Outreach. Thank you for giving!

More so, your prayers are appreciated and needed. Pray for the Outreach staff, as they are living out the Gospel everyday in our community. Pray for Outreach committee, as they discern God’s will for our church as we move forward serving our neighbors in the community and around the world. Pray that God will continue to provide the finances that are needed to fulfill the mission He has given us.

Abiding in Christ,

Beau HamnerOutreach Pastor

“Over the summer of 2014 I volunteered at Tandem Bike Ministry. I witnessed the joy in kids that work hard to accomplish goals. God used the time to teach me patience, and how thinks like a bike, tire gauge or a wrench that we take for granted can make a big impact on others. Tandem builds the community by connecting kids with positive influences, and it points out that they all have something to offer.”

Grant McClanahan, Lead VolunteerTandem Bike Ministry

Kids Hope120 Mentors investing one on one with students from Frances Slocum Elementary during the 2014-2015 school year. In 2015-2016 we could surpass that number.

“The partnership between Frances Slocum and CWC provides a level of relationships between caring adults and students at risk that enhances and strengthens the work that the staff is doing to grow students. It is like a beautiful safety net made of loving people!”Samantha Cocking, 2nd grade teacher “Devon loves his mentor Miss Abby. He talks about her everyday.” Kids Hope Parent

“Our partnership with College Wesleyan is priceless. Our students (and staff) know that people have invested in them and care about who they are and who they will be in the future...outside of our school walls. Our staff feels supported and loved by College Wesleyan Church...they count on this treasured partnership. We, as a whole school, value the prayers, help with difficult family situations, and overall support! ! It takes a village...we are thankful to be in this together!”

Anne Liddick, Frances Slocum Principal

“Any organized choir for children teaches team work and discipline. Children who take music lessons for more than a year in early childhood education increase their reading level and math skills by a year or more. This group fills a need for Marion community students who do not have after school music lessons available to them. Keeps them busy and focused!”

VIP LoungeSharing the love of Christ to the employees of the VIP lounge through Bible studies, prayer, meeting physical needs and offering friendship.

Each month a handful of volunteers meet to build relationships with the men and women of VIP lounge. Women join the ladies inside to pour into the dancers of the club. Men stay outside to pray for the ministry taking place inside, and also to pour into the lives of the bouncers of the club.

“CWC has helped and continues to help us out a lot. Sometimes times are hard. We never know what to expect each week. You all help us, and especially us that are single parents. You all are miracle workers to us at the VIP. We love and appreciate everything you guys do.”VIP Lounge Employee

Bob and I both feel that serving at the VIP lounge has bettered our understanding of people that have made choices we wouldn’t necessarily agree with. Often times, their choices are made to simply survive. God is convicting us to have more of His grace for them.Brenda Simpson, CWC Volunteer

Fire Station #6Serving the firemen and the families of Fire Station #6 through encouragement and investment.

“Through your efforts, my eyes have been more open towards Christ. He is showing me the I need to think of Him more, and spend more time in His word. He is also showing me that I need to focus more on my family.”Firefighter at Station #6

Sack Lunches at St. Martin Community CenterSeveral times a year CWC prepares meals for needy individuals in our community. Monday through Saturday many local ministries and organizations provide meals to those who would go hungry without help. Though, on Sunday these places are closed. College Wesleyan partners with other churches in our community to take care of this need. Providing a meal is part of what we do through these meals. Though, more importantly we get to know these individuals, and often have the opportunity to pray with them and show them the love of Christ fleshed out.

Twice a year CWC prepares 150 meals that are distributed on a Sunday afternoon at St. Martin Community Center.

“We are so thankful for CWC. We want to thank you for helping us with the Sunday parking lot meals at St. Martin’s. We would not be able to serve the people on Sunday with out so many churches coming together as the Body of Christ.”Steve and Janice MaynardChurch Coordinators
