Earlier this week we were supposed to holding our second MTI class on Bantayan Island, unfortunately due to weather we were unable to travel on the ferry to host the class. We quickly pivoted to plan to use our time in Cebu City for outreaches and uncanceled Street Level for Wednesday night. To promote Street Level and Church, two groups with some of the Street Level members went out for free coffee giveaways at a few universities and to go pass out fliers. We invited 100s of people that we came across and made a few connections. 

Many of the Street Level members and others came together for Street Level and we enjoyed fellowship and an intimate Bible study with the crew that showed up.

On Thursday, we were granted permission to come on campus at Southwestern University and so a few team members spent most of the day with 3 of the Street Level members handing out the new Word on the Street magazine issue and over 1,500 fliers. It was exciting to see the engagement and to see how quickly God made a way when we had other plans. 

Pray as we head into the Street Level summit this weekend, there are many new people signed up for summit and we are looking forward to what God will do.

This week we have taken the group that is here from the US and have travelled to Toledo for a Ministry Training Institute (MTI) which we are holding at our Toledo office. These trainings are a continuing education that we have been providing on a regular basis for years.  It is geared toward pastors and other leaders at local churches here in the Philippines.  Please pray for the leaders that are attending the sessions – that they will be blessed by the teachings.

During the same time as the MTI sessions, some of the group has been going out and doing outreaches at some of the colleges here in town.  The goal with these outreaches is to let students know about our college ministry, (as you may know is Street Level Ministries) as well as inform them that we are doing a movie night Friday night.  We have had a lot of varying levels of engagement, through coffee, lemonade, and a hint of awesome personalities.  A couple of new people actually came to our Street Level meeting last night due to the outreach, which is always a win.  

A couple of very near things that will be happening are an outdoor movie tonight with popcorn and hot dogs, a youth leader summit tomorrow, and church on Sunday back in Cebu – at 5PM.  

Please keep us in prayer especially for the next two weeks while the team from the US is here – as we plan to travel to do other MTI and Street Level events.  Thank you for your support in this way.  It means more that you probably know.
