Philippines Missions Update

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.

Street Level Road Trip!

Members of Street Level Ministries from UW Stout, UW River Falls, and UW Superior hit the road last week for the Campus Ministry United conference in St. Louis, MO.

This was the 3rd year in a row that Street Level had attended the conference to worship, take in teaching, and hang out with college students and campus ministers from the Missouri area. It was a great time! We enjoyed each other and had a lot of great conversations with our friends from the South!

Street Level Camping Weekend

Street Level gathered at the Believers Church campground for its annual summer weekend camping on Friday into Saturday. We had members and participants from UW Stout, UW Superior, and UW River Falls.

On Friday night, we played volleyball, snacked, cooked over the fire, listened to one of our staff member’s (Abby) testimony, and talked missions for 2023-2024.

On Saturday, we went to the June Dairy breakfast, which was held literally “next door” to the campground. This was a 1st time experience for many in the group, including our international students from Nepal and India. After breakfast, we hit the Red Cedar River for a large group tube ride (float) down the river.

It was a great weekend of fun and fellowship! Thanks for all who attended!!
