Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

What a special week! We got a surprise visit from neighbor friends who moved away a while ago. They had a little boy too while they still lived here and we could encourage each other for a season in parenting. It was fun that they got to see Caleb and we got to see their boy and how much they grew. Friends I want to encourage you build friendships with your neighbors, we promise you it’s a blessing!!!

Also don’t forget that all of us including you got the best gift for free!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Our last week was full with people and it was fun! We had a dinner with families from Calebs future preschool, were teaching part 3 of the love your neighbor class and were involved in church this week with greeting and announcements to just name 3. I love weeks like that but then we were all a bit tired by the end. But that is why God gave us a sabbath to refresh and since we have been doing this it has refreshed us. We want to encourage you to even in times of busy schedule to set one day a week away for a day of rest.

We also hope you got inspired by the story of Hudson Taylor. We want to encourage you to ask God who the people are he wants you to share the gospel with. Also think about those 3 things:

  1. Ask God to guide you in sharing the gospel in a way people can understand and in a way that breaks down barriers for them.
  2. Make sure to work out of Gods strength not your own.
  3. Be prepared for attacks of the enemy and keep your eyes on Jesus. Remember God is way more powerful than anything the enemy can do!

Have a blessed week

Todays video is about a question Jesus asks Peter in John 21. Be inspired and encouraged!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

This week we had such a wonderful time having lunch with neighbor friends who became family to us over the years. Its so wonderful having such relationships right where you live. It’s a big blessing. We want to encourage you to keep building friendships with your neighbors and feel the blessing it is to love your neighbor!!

Also don’t forget to ask yourself the question from the video. What would you honestly say if Jesus asked you the question do you love me?

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

In Romans 12. 15 it talks about to mourn with those who mourn and that is what Jen was able to do with the family of a neighborhood friend. She attended a memorial service for a lady who was part of a group who prayed for our Neighborhood. It is so important in times of sadness to be there for the families and mourn with them.

“We hope that you have been inspired by William and Catherine. Ask yourself the question: What moves your heart and then pray and ask God if that is the area he wants to use you in to bring change.

God bless you

Have you ever felt alone in a situation? Watch todays blog and be encouraged

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Community is such a blessing!! This week a friend from church watched Caleb for a few hours so we could go together through the next teaching for the love your neighbor class. It was such a blessing. We also had fun with another neighbor brunch which is a wonderful way to build community too!!

Also don’t forget if you are facing a challenging season in your life that brings you fear and makes you feel alone, lean into him and also let Psalm 139 speak to you.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb
