UGA Wesley

1. Light the Night--Wesley will meet on Legion Field Wednesday night at 8 (between Bolton and Hill Community Housing). Don't come to Tate 2--we won't be there!

2. In that same theme, NO LEADERSHIP PRAYER. Enjoy the night!

3. Fall Retreat is the 16th and 17th of next month. Put it on your calendars...more details to come. Our own Clay Kirkland will be leading our time with a former Wesley Director, Micah Eldridge.

As we are getting poured on in the literal sense, it has been brought to our attention to ponder how we’re doing in the spiritual sense.








How are you doing? How are you feeling? A few photos are posted above—which do you feel that you would identify with? Still, and resting? Feeling dry? Overwhelmed? Pursuing more? Growing? Playing in the waves?

As you identify with how you’re doing, we encourage you to take it to the Lord. To pray, to pursue, to rest, to ultimately just press-on into the Lord.

...on Wesley Wednesday night.

How do you overcome distractions during the service? How do you prepare your heart for what the Lord might want to do in you?

How can you say no to this sweet little face!! He has his arms wide open waiting for you to give him a big ole hug!! Sign up to be a Crosstrainer ASAP!! (We still need guy coaches especially)

It is often easy to become frustrated in the place of prayer. We often don't know what to pray, when to pray, or how to pray. I grow weary and find it difficult to persist in prayer (Luke 18). We fail to cry out for those that need the Lord's help, His healing, or His salvation. We are weak and it is easy to give up. However, God has so much more for us! I need reminding that prayer is simply communion (being) with the one who made me, who loves me, who pursues me, and who desires to live His life through me.

I find great comfort in knowing that the disciples needed help in prayer and asked Jesus to "teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1). C.H. Spurgeon says, "Prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Spirit can teach us. Pray for prayer. Pray until you can really pray." We are fully dependent on God to draw us to our knees and show us how to pray. We learn how to pray and grow in prayer by... praying! Prayer is not the means to an end. It is the end! Fellowship and communion with our Heavenly Father is what this life is all about. He is inviting us; He is calling us; He is waiting for us!

Do you long for something more in your prayer life? Do you want to learn how to pray? Do you hunger to go deeper with God in prayer? Then pray! He is so gracious in meeting us right where we are.


Join us this Friday night from 10:00 pm - 2:00 am for the semester's first Friday Night Fire. Come and experience an environment where you can worship and pray freely as the Lord draws you closer to Him. We desire to be the watchmen of Isaiah 62:6 that pray "all day and all night" and who "never keep silent" nor "take a rest." There is intimacy and power in corporately praying during the night. We would love to experience the Lord with each of you!

For the past six years Wesley has hosted a Fundraising Dinner to raise needed monetary support for the ministry. Last year on the day of the fundraising dinner the largest financial sector shake up in U.S. history occurred, and that night the fundraiser dinner raised more money than ever before. Each year amazing testimonies of the Lord’s provision come from this dinner.

This year the UGA Wesley Foundation needs to raise over $210,000 for operating costs and rent at Tate 2. This evening is not solely about raising money (though it is very important). This is also an incredible opportunity for your parents and family to learn about what goes on at the UGA Wesley Foundation. Information about each ministry area will be shared, and all staff are present that evening.

On September 25 will be the seventh fundraising dinner. You and your family are invited to come to this exciting evening. Your meal is free (and delicious!), and you’ll hear powerful testimonies and from our guest speaker, Michael Mozley. Check-out some information about him at http://www.missionsociety.org/people/mozley

We pray that you and your family will be able to attend. R.S.V.P. at www.ugawesley.org. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask the intern who disciples you.

Next Thursday, September 17, we are going to offer a day of fun and fellowship for you guys at Wesley. There will be snacks, volleyball, four-square, card games, video games, and an opportunity to hang out with staff and other leaders between 12:30 and 3:30.
