As the semester continues on, things have not slowed down at all for Street Level. We have been continuing to push to meet students and invite them to our weekly meetings in Cebu and Toledo. Typically that happens with fliers, magazines, and posters, but we have recently started giving away instant coffee and milo near universities too! It has been a fun way to talk with students as they head to class.

This week we also hosted a Word on the Street magazine party in Toledo and Cebu to celebrate the release of issue 95! We had great attendance at both locations and a lot of laughs too. The evenings consisted of food, watching a video from the U.S. WOTS staff, reading excerpts from the new issue, and playing some team games. The competition was fierce with games of Password, Pictionary, a word search, crossword, and Fishbowl! Check out the video to see some of the action!

This week marks one year of Believers Church Cebu! After service, we celebrated at one of our favorite BBQ places nearby.

All universities have officially begun the semester here in Cebu and Toledo, so we are looking forward to whatever God has in store for us this year. While the team was here, we covered every major university area with posters advertising our weekly meetings, our Street Level members are each working on getting a location to put up a big banner, and we are getting to campuses to personally invite students too. We are hoping to meet some new young people who want to know God and live for Him.

Last week we set up our booth outside of the University of the Visayas – Toledo. We had a quick game to play with students who wanted the chance to win a free cold drink, which was pretty fun, and was a way to interact and invite them to the weekly dinners and Bible discussions.

This week we started a new series “The Life of Joseph: real life faith” so we will be digging into the Old Testament for the next six weeks.

We would appreciate prayer, especially for:

• Meeting new students – ones that God is working in, who want to know Him more and live for Him
• Our current group at SLM Cebu and SLM Toledo – that they would be growing in their faith and love for God. That they would be passionate about and committed to living for Him.

The past few weeks we had members from all four Believers Church locations (Menomonie, WI – River Falls, WI – Duluth, MN – Cebu City) together for Sunday services which was a great blessing. It was a good reminder that we are part of a bigger family, and to get to know one another.
