Ministry Spotlight - Wesley House Community Center

Wesley House Community Center, located in Meridian, MS, has been "helping people help themselves" since 1904. Director Ginger Grissom Stevens was featured on The Matt Friedeman Show's Ministry Spotlight. Below are the CliffsNotes of her segment.

What do you do at Wesley House?

God is alive and working at our facilities.

The program that y'all have heard about is a Child Advocacy program that is available at one of our locations.

God is really blessing Wesley House Ministries, because we are people that care about other people.

How do you get in contact with these under-privileged people?

They come to us from various organizations. We believe in networking.

We work with law enforcement, child protection services, hospitals, medical facilities and mental heatlh facilities around the state.

Everyone on staff here is called to this ministry.

The reason God is blessing us is that we keep the course. We are faith-based. We are Christian. We don't beat people over the head with the Bible, but there is no doubt that we are a Christian ministry.

Part of the reason that we have takers in this society is that society has allowed them to become takers.

We do our best to turn people in to productive members of society.

We look at the situation, we assess it, and then we do our best to work in it. None of us can do it alone.
