Busy In Mission
Over the past three weeks our students have served on campus
and in the metro area in several different capacities.
At the end of March we
took a group to Skyline Urban Ministry to help serve a meal to the homeless
population in OKC as well as help lead worship for their weekly worship
service.
In early April we had a large contingent of students participate in
Big Event. Big Event is a campus wide service project utilizing over 5,000 OU
students to serve Norman and the greater OKC metro area.
We have also had
numerous students out on campus on several different occasions over the past
few weeks passing out treats, snacks, drinks, etc. to OU students. When asked
why we are out there the students' response is: "We are the Wesley Foundation,
and we simply wanted to show Christ's love in a tangible way."
The uniqueness
of the various ways they have been in mission over the past few weeks has been
a great combination of "showing Christ's love in a tangible way" as well as
connecting those actions with words by sharing who Christ was and is and how he
is making a difference in our lives.

I have been busy traveling all over the state along with our
praise band and choir helping to lead worship in local churches throughout
the Oklahoma Annual Conference. We are currently beginning to book outings for
summer and Fall 2010. If interested, contact 
It was almost one year ago that we began the 1215 club at
the OU Wesley. Many of you have become faithful prayers and donors through this
program and others have made one time donations for the entire year. These
simple $15 a month donations are what sustain us and allow us to serve 100s of
OU students every day. It is the 1215 club that continues to sustain us even
while conference apportionments are only being paid at 75%.
