Travels have been all safe and smooth sailing for us as we’ve successfully arrived in Mississippi. Sadly, the same can’t be said for the many of armadillo that were unable to cross the highways.
We left Wisconsin early in the AM, caravanned through many lovely states, and also Iowa.
Mississippi is nice and hot and muggy and we’re all looking forward to the people we’ll meet and work that lies ahead of us. Thanks for all your prayers!
August 6, 2023 On Friday night we had the Street Level members-only meeting with Gladness and Rona. We enjoyed chicken dinner together and after we discussed how God honors commitment.
The following day we welcomed new students at the Street Level Summit. Many of them were just hearing about Street Level Ministries and getting to know us but a few had been coming around on and off for a while.
Please pray for the students who attended the Summit:
July 29, 2023 This morning about 30 youth from 7 different churches from Bantayan and surrounding islands came together to participate in our youth leader summit. It was a good day of teaching and discussing what it means to be awakened to God, and what life with Him can look like. We hope these youth go back to their churches challenged and encouraged to step out in their faith to see what God has for them.
July 28, 2023 Today we wrapped up the Bantayan MTI with the students. Everybody passed their tests, and we had some good conversations with familiar and new faces.
July 24, 2023 We left Cebu City early Sunday morning and arrived in Tuburan in time for Sunday Services. We attended three different churches. Jesse, Jonah, and Erik got to preach.
Today we hosted the first of two youth leader summits. Almost 50 youth leaders from various churches around Tuburan attended.
Tomorrow we will travel to Bantayan for another MTI and youth leader summit.
July 21, 2023 Today the MTI began in Cebu. It is a smaller group, which made the discussion flow nicely. The MTI covers a survey of the entire Old Testament, so there is a lot of great material.
During the MTI some of the rest of us went to outreach at local university campuses. In the morning we set up the radio booth across from the University of San Carlos, did trivia, and gave out T-shirts. After lunch, we visited a few more universities and handed out WOTS magazines and Street Level flyers. A few of the students we spoke with expressed interest in Street Level.
