Create a space where community can naturally happen

This week we talk about how you can create a space where community can happen. Be inspired and encouraged!

Hello friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Visitors are so special. This week a friend from my (Markus) DTS came to visit from Sweden and another from 1 hour away. We had a small 20-year reunion together and through sharing with each other wonderful memories came back to mind. It is crazy to think that it has been over 20 years since I did my DTS. When I look back at those 20 years I see so much of Gods faithfulness in our life. With that said I want to encourage you to look back at your life and see Gods faithfulness there!!

Also dont forget to spend some time to think and pray about how you can create a place for community and then get started on it!

Have a blessed week

What Joshua can teach us about asking God for guidance

In this weeks blog we are partially looking at an important man in the Old Testament, Joshua. Be encouraged!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a super week!! Ours in San Francisco was exciting. We had dinner with a friend from the neighborhood which was encouraging. Then we prepped for our time speaking at our church on Sunday which went really well. We got a lot of really good responses of people that they felt inspired to love their neighbors. On Saturday we had our neighbor brunch which literally filled our table up to the last seat and I had to put a little chair up at the corner. That is a good problem to have! Sunday night we got to watch the Superbowl together with our church family and our San Francisco team was in it, but sadly they lost. But it was still a wonderful time! with dinners a neighbor brunch we hosted that filled up every seat around our table, speaking at our church and a Superbowl party with our church friends. It was such a wonderful time.

Remember this week to ask for Gods guidance not just at the beginning but all along the way and at all major decisions.

Have a blessed week!!

Whatever you focus on affects you

Today our blog is about focusing our lives on the right thing and how that brings hope.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!! Our week was busy in a good way. We had our quarterly meeting with other ministry leaders from the bay area and it was encouraging as usual. We also were able to connect in a deeper way with our community here. A very good week. And Jen and went out on a date night together which was really fun.

Remember to look at your thoughts and the things you focus on and make sure to focus on Jesus!

Have a blessed week!!

Pelicans or better together

I hope this 2nd blog on Pelicans inspires you and you can learn from their life.

Hi our friend

What a wonderful week. Jen and I got to go on vacation to Tahoe with friends which was so much fun. How did your year start?

Don’t forget this week to find someone that might have lost the connection and start to bring that person back into the community!

Have a blessed week!!

Pelikan Formation

I hope this blog inspires you and you can learn from the life of the Pelican birds.

Hi our friend

Welcome to 2020! We hope you had a wonderful celebration! San Francisco has every year a beautiful fireworks display and it never fails to amaze!

Jen and I are excited for this new year and the things God has planned for it. Every year we pray either at the end or the beginning of the new year and ask God for words for the year. It is always exciting to look back and see how God moved. Take some time out of your week and spend some time praying for this new year!

Don’t forget this week to look at your strength and see how you can use your gift to help someone else.

Have a blessed week!!

Markus and Jen
