Doing Good All the Time

Recently, Wesley House has been transformed from the inside out with new building remodeling and targeted new programs, specially designed, to help people in the community be productive and healthy, with a staff that is professionally trained and called to serve.

The face of poverty is changing across the nation and in Meridian and surrounding area it is no different today. One half of the clients now being served at Wesley House are first time "askers" with…one third of those having college degrees … Some, more than one!

Wesley House wants to make a real difference in the lives of those who come to the "community house" where they are treated with the idea in mind that they were all created with a specific design and purpose by our Creator. While there will always be poverty, the Bible does not say that the same people have to live there all of their lives!

So, Wesley House is concentrating on helping those who are ready to help themselves. Each case is dealt with on an individual basis, and all people are treated with the same love and respect, whether they live under the bridge or are in the same Sunday School class as the staff…it simply does not matter. At this time of year Wesley House is asking people to make an investment … That’s right an investment in their community through the lives of the men, women and children that come their way. It is important to realize the impact of the work being done there is "God-driven."

With your help, He will allow folks at the Wesley House to serve those who come knocking on their door.
