Street Level Mission #4

Day two of work! The team in the school spent the morning with the students, working one-on-one on lessons. The team made more progress painting, completed the garden beds, and started into a few other projects. Our after dinner project was assembling gift bags for a fundraiser Mission First puts on each year. It was a fun time, and we got to bless the staff here who would have otherwise had to spend many hours doing them in their spare time. We feel like we’ve done assembly like this before…. Collating WOTS anyone? Thanks for your prayers…

Spring Break Mission #3

Today the group started in the morning with half of us doing some painting and building a raised garden bed for the children to plant in, and the other half working in the school with the kids. After lunch we went to the school and colored, painted, and played in the indoor playground for the after school programs. We ended the day with four square volleyball and various other games with middle school and high school students. It was a great and tiring day, and it is amazing serving the Lord while serving the community!

Spring Break Mission #2

Our first full day in Jackson, MS was started after a good night’s sleep in the Mission First dorms. The beautiful 70+ degree weather greeted us! We went to church and found some coffee in the morning. The next stop after that was crawfish, potatoes, corn, sausage, etc!! We found picnic tables in a park as many of us tried crawfish for the first time. It was a good day!

We chatted about all the ways God has already been moving while we’ve been down here in the people we’ve met. The southern sweetness is so fun to experience firsthand and we’re excited to work with the kids and people we meet tomorrow!

Philippines SLM Members Retreat

Members of Cebu and Toledo Street Levels came together for a weekend retreat in the mountains. We had the extra blessing of having leadership from the US Street Levels joun us too! Friday evening was spent eating together, and hearing from Pastor Tim about how to live out the call of God and not an unfinished life – missing the opportunities we have to serve and live for Jesus.

Saturday included more teaching and discussion about what it means to truly follow Jesus. A lot of time was spent digging into what the Bible says, and finding the practical application to our lives.

We got to enjoy each other’s company through good conversation, friendly competition on the basketball court, and taking in the beautiful scenery.

Bohol pop-up & more

A few of the Cebu Island SLM members joined with the American team and we all went to Bohol together. We spent a day walking around Tagbilaran City with invitations to a pop-up Bible study that evening. We have hosted these Bible studies before, and were eager to see who would show up this time. We met at a coffee shop right across the street from the University of Bohol and had a great evening getting to know each other and studying Gods word together.

The next day, we helped host a youth leader summit – for 16-24 year olds who want to know what it means to really follow Jesus and serve their local churches. It was a good day of teaching and small group discussion, and new friendships formed.

Looking forward to the next time we get to visit Bohol!
