Find the latest news from the Believers church plant and Street Level college ministry in River Falls, WI.

Street Level College Ministry

Street Level recently sent out magazine sent out about 1000 Word on the Street magazines to freshmen students. It was a lot of work, but everyone stepped up to the task. We hope and trust that God is using our efforts and that some students out there are discovering who we are through the magazine. We also just began printing our most recent issue, which will be distributed throughout River Falls over the next week or so.

A few students from Street Level are going to join with the Menomonie group for an outing in the Cities. The plan is to hang out at a coffeehouse called Mug Shots, which is a ministry of a local college. It’s always good to connect with the other Street Level groups and get out of the norms of River Falls.

Only a few weeks remain for the semester. It always seems to go fast, with limited time to do the privileged work of doing our best to disciple the people God brings us. Every time the semester ends, it reminds us that time is limited to do the work.

Believers Church Plant

We are in 2 Corinthians on Sundays at the Believers church plant. In the studies, we’ve discussed a lot of extreme highs and lows of following Jesus: joys and successes, as well as great trials and difficulties. We’ll be pausing soon for a night of discussing the international mission endeavors of Believers church.

Some people from the Menomonie Creative Team recently came to shoot some video of our Sunday gathering. Creative Team is putting together a new video ad showing a little of who we are and what we are about. Soon it will be pushed out via online channels to continue getting the word out.

Blind Munchies

The Blind Munchies coffeehouse in River Falls has continued to stay open three days a week this semester. Part of the goal of the coffeehouse arm of the River Falls ministry is, of course, to get to know the community. Many of the volunteers who serve have been able to get to know some “regular” customers. We pray that some of these relationships will parlay into further connection with the larger ministry.

We like to keep elements of the coffeehouse changing from season to season. We’ll soon offer a pistachio mocha for a limited time. Additionally, we will soon be reworking our merchandise area to house some new things that the recent missions trip brought back.

Prayer

As finals and holidays approach, pray that there would be continued engagement, this is often a time when people become needlessly distracted.
We inquiring about new locations for Word on the Street Magazines, pray for open doors.
Pray for the advertising in all forms – that we are effectively getting the word out about the ministry.
