Street Level Summit

Last weekend Street Level convened at Believers Church – Duluth for the Street Level Discipleship Summit. It was a two-day event aimed at uncovering the battleground of Christian faith. Sessions split between Friday and Saturday encouraged attendees to examine their three adversaries: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Breaks between sessions allowed our groups from Menomonie, River Falls, and Superior to get to know each other while exploring Duluth. The views, the city, the food – all excellent but the lakeshore was where we met for a group picture before wrapping up the weekend. It was a joy to host this group!

Roller Skating!

Last Friday night Street Level Ministries paired up with the Young Adult Ministry of Believers Church – Duluth, for a night out at the roller rink. We started out at VIP pizza. We hung out, ate pizza, and afterwards walked over to World of Wheels in Superior. We skated, bladed, fell a few times, and, thankfully, got back up and kept going. Overall, it was an awesome night of being with friends and trying something new.

Homeward Bound

Our morning started off on the train arriving in Chicago. The conductors announcements and lights let us know that we were nearly there. Everyone scrabbled to collect their bags not forgetting to grab the goodie bags that Mt. Olive church sent us home with. 

The group split up to get the church van situated for the road trip back. The rest of the group marched towards the best, nearest, and open coffee shop. After getting caffeinated we pilled into the church van and car and drove out of Chicago. 

It’s been a whirlwind of a trip, filled with good food, lots of laughs, and hard work. Thanks for holding down the fort while we have been away!

“I’ll Be Seeing You”

Finishing up our last day at Mt. Olive included cleaning the bed barn, pairing some comforters and sheets for deliveries, taking down our beds and mattresses, and enjoying fried chicken for lunch with a couple more stories from the guys that have been working with us this week.

We piled in the vans shortly after and headed for Memphis, which included a drive past Graceland. This evening we’ll be catching the trains back to Chicago for our last leg or the trip back home.

Thanks for all your prayers during this time. We’ve been blessed in our time here and by all of the folks we met.
