WesleyMen’s Report to World Methodist Council

A Christmas Greeting from WesleyMen World President
December 24, 2025Dear Partner of Wesleymen,
Warm Advent greetings in the Name of Jesus!
As we approach the end of the year, I am inviting you to pray and support the mission and priorities of the World Fellowship of Methodist and Uniting Church Men also known as WesleyMen. As an affiliate of the World Methodist Council, we are a global connecting point of men’s ministry for Wesleyan, Methodist, and Uniting denominations with the mission to lead men in Christian fellowship rooted in the actions and words of Jesus Christ. But we not do this work alone! Your partnership is essential to every step we take.
CONNECT
WesleyMen works closely with the World Methodist Council and its WMC Regional Bodies to deepen our connections and relationships as well as mutually collaborate and partner with each other. WesleyMen was represented at the World Methodist Council Steering Committee Meeting in August 2025 in Ghana. We connected with WMC leaders as well as Methodist leaders from Africa Methodist Council, Council of Evangelical Methodist Churches in Latin America & the Caribbean, North American Table, Asian Methodist Council and European Methodist Council— seeking stronger collaboration, partnership and mutuality in mission.
WesleyMen is also initiating collaboration and partnership with the World Federation of Methodist & Uniting Church Women and a Joint Zoom Conversation is planned for February 2026. WesleyMen Regional Gatherings will take place in 2026-2027 aim to cultivate men’s leadership, forge mutual collaboration and partnership with churches & men’s organizations (national & regional), and strengthen WesleyMen as a regional and global movement. And plans are on the way for the WesleyMen 25th Anniversary Celebration throughout 2026 and during the World Methodist Council Meeting on August 2026 in El Salvador.
CULTIVATE
In 2025, WesleyMen launched the “On The Move Lenten & Easter Devotionals”, “The Spirit is Moving: Our Pentecost Stories” and adopted the 90-Day Challenge as a worldwide men’s discipleship resource with a three-stage component: Connection – Cultivation – Commissioning. It is Wesleyan in core values, adaptive and contextually applicable to each national or region of the world.
Furthermore, WesleyMen observed the 2025 International Men’s Day (IMD). With the theme: “Supporting Men & Boys to Know Jesus Christ”, the 2025 IMD is a celebration of global awareness for issues confronting men and boys: parental alienation, abuse, homelessness, depression, violence, and suicide. WesleyMen are reaching out to men and boys across the world who are looking for a place to belong, to be included, loved, embraced and welcomed into a Christian community and to know the transforming love, grace and hope of Jesus Christ.
COLLABORATE
Since 2011, WesleyMen’s action component is to bring awareness and advocate against global hunger, severe malnutrition, and starvation. We’ve operated FastPrayGive.org, released a Prayer Statement regarding the Hunger Crisis in Gaza and had Zoom conversation w/ Methodist Liaison Office in Jerusalem to increase global awareness and involvement of the Methodist community in the issues affecting Israel and Palestine. We are also actively engaged and representing the World Methodist Council to the Prayer & Action Against Hunger Coalition (PAAHC)— a coalition of Christian organizations, church-based organizations, and NGOs with primary functions to ground and coordinate responses to the global hunger crisis in prayer, raise awareness about the issue, and mobilize the global church to take faith-driven action.
I hope you will make a generous year-end giving to WesleyMen to further our vital mission and priorities in 2026. Please send your donation to WesleyMen @ 3701 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215. Thank you for being part of this ministry and for trusting WesleyMen with your partnership.
With gratitude,
Rev. Edgar De Jesus
World President, WesleyMen
