Hi friend

First Jen and I want to wish you a merry Christmas with our Christmas message. We hope you feel encouraged!!

Second, this week’s blog is about growth and how important others are in it! Be encouraged!!

We had a wonderful week here in SF. WE are amazed how God keeps opening up speaking opportunities to inspire others to love their neighbor and neighborhood and how much of a blessing it is, not just for neighbors but also for us. God is just awesome!! We also hosted a virtual dinner with neighbors and whoever wanted to come which was a lot of fun too. We ate each at our own tables and were connected through zoom to talk and connect. What a wonderful time!! Maybe after Christmas have a virtual dinner with neighbors and friends too!

Since Christmas is here now we want to encourage you to engage with lonely neighbors as an example through a video call in which they can join your celebration and also maybe dropping of some Christmas cookies for them.

God bless you

Markus and Jen
