The people of John Wesley Church are very active both in our community and beyond. We have sent international mission teams to Belize, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, and our current focus countries, Kenya and Costa Rica. Nationally, our youth mission teams have served all around Texas with UM Army and the Texas Ramp Project. We participate in outreach projects in the greater Houston area and in numerous special mission events.

Our Missions Committee consists of a team leader and 21 team members. The Missions Committee meets monthly to review current and past projects and to plan for upcoming mission opportunities.

COSTA RICA
We help support Methodist Missionary Ray Zirkel in his mission in Costa Rica which includes a seminary to train pastors, a Methodist children’s home and the building and empowerment of local churches. We take teams periodically to assist in the various projects throughout the country organized by the Methodist Church.

KENYA
JWMC partners with the United Methodist Church and Rev. Joe Kamau in Gilgil, Kenya, helping support him and his pastors as well as sponsoring students at the Trinity Boys and Girls Boarding Schools. We continue to provide assistance in micro-financing in local communities, the building of clinics, and a women’s shelter and empowerment center.  We have also helped them in times of floods, locust invasions, drought and the drilling of a water well.

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK

There is much to do, and we need volunteers to pull it off! There is something for everyone, from set up, to traffic control, to loading food into vehicles, and tearing it all down when it is over. Serving at a food distribution is a great way to activate your faith!

If you know someone who would be blessed by this experience as a volunteer OR a food recipient, please invite them to come. (We encourage school and church youth groups to participate as well, but teens under 16 will need an adult chaperone.) If you would like to serve alongside us again or for the first time, click on a date below to volunteer.*  You'll be glad you did!
