November 19, 2023 River Falls Ministry

It has been an exciting time to be in River Falls this past month as we start a new season of ministry. Continue reading to find out more!

Believers Church – River Falls

We started meeting together for our first, open-to-the-public, church services. Located in one of the conference rooms at Junior’s Restaurant in town, we have now met a couple of times. We come together to pray as a community, eat a light meal, and then worship and study the Word. Pastor Jonah has started teaching from the Gospel of Luke. So far a few new people have joined us from the local community!

Believers Campus Church

On Wednesdays, we continue to study the book of Exodus. Through this, we are learning to apply God’s word to our lives and learning how these historical events are remarkably relevant to us in our walk with God today. There has been a consistent group of students who continue to attend on a weekly basis. We even had a guest teacher this last month, Pastor Ben.

WOTS Table on Campus

A couple of us went down to the University Center on Campus and set up a table to promote the newest issue of Word on the Street magazine. We asked students to select three words that best describe their generation. It was fun to engage with the students and see the words they chose. The top selected word was FOMO; an acronym for “Fear of Missing Out”. One of the college students who has been regularly attending Street Level also joined us for most of the time.

Movie night – The Chosen

Last Friday, we had our first movie night of the semester. Gathering at the Blind Munchies Coffeehouse, we ate popcorn and snacks and watched a couple of episodes of Season 2 of The Chosen. Even though many people were gone on break, we had a few people come. It was a nice time to hang out and fellowship.

Please continue to pray for:

  • For people to desire a real relationship with God, to get plugged into a local church community, and to contribute to the work of God’s Kingdom above and beyond when it is convenient.
  • We would meet new students and people from the community, and God would bring them into the meetings with open and hungry hearts.
  • The students would not get overly busy and distracted over the holidays and the second half of the semester.

September 20, 2023 River Falls Ministry

There is an ongoing debate in River Falls about what the best season is. While we may not agree on what the best season is (…of course it is summer…), we can all agree that we look forward to the college students returning to town for a new school year. With the return of the students, we have been spending time focusing on meeting new students hoping to build relationships with them.

We kicked off the school year with a couple of coffee giveaways on the UW River Falls campus. Some returning students and a few people from Menomonie joined in to help. Also, we were able to do a couple of tables on campus. We met a few new students during these events that have since checked out Campus Church or Street Level.

Campus Church

We are back to regular meetings for Campus Church and Street Level. Campus Church is meeting in the same room as last year, right next to the dining hall on campus. During the last few weeks, a number of new people stopped in and checked out the service. Many of them stayed around after the teaching to hang out and get to know us.

Street Level UWRF

Street Level started meeting on campus this semester. We gather around a few tables in the University Center and have a Bible discussion. We have also had some new students attend Street Level the last few weeks.

Bonus: Some of us also got together to go on a hike near Glen Park.

Prayer Requests:

  • That God would be working in the college-age people/students in the River Falls area
  • Developing relationships with new students
  • Continued vision and direction for the ministry
