Hey our friend

We hope your last week was a good one. During the last week we had great meetings at the coffee shop as well as with the staff. I Markus ended up having some issues with my neck which got fixed by a chiropractor friend. It is such a blessing having people like that in our life. We were also able to talk more as a staff about how to move forward with the different ministries we are doing in North Beach. Please keep praying for Gods guidance for that.

Week 2 Make sure you have a solid foundation

Last week we were talking in our series “How to change the world and find true friends “about the fact that praying will open a door into their lives. This week we want to talk a about you. One thing I learned in my almost 10 years of ministry with YWAM is the importance of relationship with other believers and a church. I saw people that went home after a great time in missions and then almost lost their faith. Why? Because they didn’t have a place to get refilled by God. To be able to reach out to others you also need a place of refreshment and refilling. First of all you need your personal time with Jesus which can be anytime during your day. Read your bible, pray and just spend time in His presence. Make it a set time and make a habit out of it. That way it won’t be taken out of the schedule just because life gets busier. Second you need a small group from your church where you regularly go to. In a small group setting people can really help you personally to grow as well as help each other with challenges in life. Third have a church you are regularly going to. Jen and I have a church in the city were we are going to. Every time we go we feel refreshed and ready for a new week. We also were able to find wonderful friends there as well.

If you don’t have some of those things on a regular basis in your life make sure to find them. It will help you to move forward.

Have a blessed week

Markus and Jen
