Tired and Wired

Street level left Menomonie this morning on its way to Mississippi for spring break! We will be working with bunk bed ministry in Baldwyn Mississippi next week helping to build beds for kids who need them.

Today we made it to Chicago and to the train station successfully. We got some dinner and enjoyed watching various stages of wedding developments (a bride and groom taking wedding photos and a marriage proposal (*no one from our group)) as we waited…

The train is leaving soon and we’ll travel overnight to Memphis, arroving bright and early at 4:00 a.m. Pray for us that we get some decent sleep on the train, and make it to Memphis in one piece!

Retreat

Members of Street Level Ministries here in Duluth joined their larger counterparts from Menomonie for a weekend of fellowship. The ministry as a whole dedicated Friday night and Saturday to addressing cultural barriers that prevent sharing the Gospel. Large group sessions focused on relevance, relationships, and repentance, while small groups allowed us to share testimonies and simple gospel messages. Practical prayer was weaved into the weekend and greatly emphasized. We prayed together for ministry opportunities, boldness, obedience, and each other.

Members Only Getaway!!

The Street Level members from UW Stout took a road trip up north over the weekend for some evangelism training and an overnight stay at Luther Park.

It was a great time fellowship, learning, goofing around, eating, singing, dancing, and probably some other stuff too.

If you’re interested in becoming a member of Street Level you can talk to pastor Ben about it.

Winter Kickball Happened…

The Street Level campuses joined forces for some “winter” kickball on Saturday.

Members from UW Stout, UW River Falls, and UW Superior were on campus in Menomonie grilling out and playing kickball on Saturday. There were minimal injuries (praise the LORD!) and a clear winning team at the end of the day.

Thanks to all who came out!

Street Level Ministries at Southwestern

A few of us spent a day in front of 581 Cafe near Southwestern University asking students random trivia questions like: “What bird has eyes that are bigger than its brain?” Winning students received a free milk tea or soft drink from us, as well as the latest issue of our magazine, Word on the Street (which if you haven’t read it yet, can also be found here: readwots.com) We do this on occasion to meet new students and let them know we exist, so they can join us for dinner and Bible discussion. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to serve God in this way.
