The North Texas Conference of Global Missions have started a series of zoom meetings called Coffee with Missionaries! These are a great way to get information right from the source. Join Wes & Leah Magruder on Wednesday, September 29 at 10:30 am.

The Rev. Dr. Wesley W. Magruder, a missionary with the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries, serves as a lecturer in theology at Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary in Pietermaritzburg, Kwazulu/Natal, South Africa. He was commissioned to this ministry in June 2019, having served as superintendent of the United Methodist Mission Initiative in Cameroon from 2004 to 2008. Seth Mokitimi Seminary, a primary institution for the equipping of Methodist leaders in southern Africa, is a longtime mission partner of Global Ministries.

Leah J. Magruder is a United Methodist missionary with the General Board of Global Ministries serving as Formation Department assistant at Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary. Mrs. Magruder has found great joy in two areas of her professional career – church ministry and education. She has been the wife of a pastor for years, giving her opportunities to mentor and journey with others in many walks of life. She has also been a classroom teacher and tutor, which has allowed her to learn how to work well with groups of students as well as customizing curriculum for individuals. Before beginning her work at the seminary in South Africa, she volunteered there and built a strong rapport among students and staff.
