This Friday (May 9) at 7PM at the Street Level Ministries Toledo Space we will be hosting an outdoor movie night! Free for students! Complete with hotdogs, fries, popcorn and plenty of sweets! You won’t want to miss it.
Outdoor Movie Night
Cebu Island
Youth Event Adventures
Recently some of our members took an opportunity to set up our booth at a large youth gathering to let students know about Street Level. The event was for youth all over Cebu island (and surrounding islands) and was two days long. We had a good time hanging out together at it, and made some good connections along the way. The main piece of information we gave away was a mini ‘zine, “A Compact Guide on How to Not Waste Your Life”.
Since there was a crew from the Toledo side of the island spending some time in Cebu, we took a bonus adventure to TOPS and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon together too! We definitely took a road less traveled to get there, but that was part of the fun.
A night of creativity… or something like that
Recently, both Cebu and Toledo SLM groups had an evening of Pictionary and hanging out together. We warmed up our creative skills by playing “Telephone Pictionary”, where a phrase turns into pictures, and back into phrases, and usually ends up entirely different from the beginning. A lot of laughs and “what is that supposed to be?!” were had.
Then came the main Pictionary event and the competition was fierce. The teams battled their way around the board, showing off their art skills (or lack of art skills) as their teams guessed what was being drawn.
And of course, there was plenty of pizza and snacks to be shared too! As an organization we have nights like this because it’s fun to spend time together, but also, it helps us build deeper relationships with the people we are growing our faith with. Stay tuned for more to come!
March 2025 Summit
On a Friday evening, the members of Street Level Ministries Cebu and Toledo came together for an evening of fellowship and discussion. We were joined by Street Level U.S. current staff and alumni and really enjoyed spending time together, having dinner, and sharing stories.
The following day, we held a full day summit with participants from both sides of the island. We enjoyed a day of fellowship, worship, Bible teaching and small group discussion. The topic of the day was “Decision Time: Full Commitment or Empty Promises” discussing what it looks like to be used by God, verses being people who try to use God, and that now is the time to make that choice.
Recent Outreaches
Over the last couple of weeks, Street Level has been able to hit the streets several times. We have been busy about getting the word out to students about our weekly meetings, and getting into some good conversations along the way. From passing out our magazine (Word on the Street) to fliers, to giving away coffee and playing games, we have certainly met a lot of new faces (maybe you’re one of them!). We do all this, not to make our organization bigger (although there is always room for more) but ultimately, so students can know what it means to follow God, and live the life that He has created them for.
Here’s some photos of our time at Southwestern University in Cebu, UV-Toledo, and Consolatrix College Toledo.
March 2025 Summit: “Decision Time: Full Commitment or Empty Promises”
Procrastination. We are all guilty of it at one time or another. Putting off what should be done today, until another time. Although it is a bad habit, it is not a matter of dire consequences when it comes to trivial things like schoolwork or doing the dishes. But when it comes to the things of God, the consequences are great. Many people are content to live in a state of procrastination, not ever actually doing anything for God but making some vague promises that they will do something “tomorrow”.
It is time to make a decision: will you fully commit, or will you waste your time making promises you never keep?
This summit could be your time to decide to go all in.
This summit will be held on Saturday, March 8 in Toledo City and is open to university students or anyone 18-25 years old. You must register by February 20 (There is no registration fee)
To sign up, come to one of our weekly Street Level meetings in Cebu or Toledo.
Game Night!
FRIDAY JANUARY 31 – CEBU CITY 6PM
Join us for an evening of board games, card games, food, and good company! Free and open to anyone 18-25 years old. Find us on the 3rd floor of the K&J Building on J. Llorente Street – near Fuente and National Bookstore Mango.
Kicking off 2025!
A few SLM Cebu members were able to spend a few hours outside of UV Main the other day. We talked with students and invited everyone to our weekly meetings. There was also the chance to win a cold drink or coffee by playing a matching game. It was a good time, and we hope to do it again soon! Thanks to Kaffee Cove for the great spot to set up, and the delicious coffee!
We also began a short mini Bible study series, “Crazy Things Jesus Said.” These short (20 minute) pop-up Bible studies will be held on occasion around Cebu City at various cafes. The first one was at Roadside Cafe, near Cebu Normal University. Stay tuned for the next one!
