Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

We had such a joyful time this week to celebrate Calebs  birthday in the park. Families who became wonderful friends from the neighborhood and our church joined in. It was so great seeing the joy in Calebs face when he celebrated with all his friends. Joy in the face of a child is so wonderful and a great reminder for all of us to have some child like joy in our own lives.

Also don’t forget to do the homework from the video: Pray and ask God to reveal to you “enemies” and ask him to help you forgive them and then help you to do good to them like it says in Romans 12.21.

God bless you

This weeks Gospel Carrier is a wonderful man from England John Williams! Be encouraged and inspired by him. If you want to read more of his story the book under this link is great.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

During this week we had a friend watch Caleb for a little bit so we could meet to figure out more details for the 6 week love your neighbor class which God put on our heart for a while now. Our heart with that is to walk alongside the participants for a longer season and help them to get started loving their neighbors and through that build community where they are. We will run it for the first time in this setting with a church the end of April. We are excited to see what God will do through it.

We also hope you got inspired by the video of John Williams. Ask God to show you the one or multiple people to invite to church or to share the gospel with! Ask God for ways to help the ones that came to know him how to share their new faith with their friends and others.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

I tell you this week I was grateful for technology and how it advanced over the last few years. I got sick this week but had still quite a few important meetings that I had to be at. I tell you zoom was wonderful!! I was able to participate in an financial advisory board meeting, a prayer meeting, a review and evaluation meeting and a Love your neighbor mentoring meeting with someone who wants to learn. The best was I could do all of them out of my warm bed. Thank you God for technology.  What is one thing you are grateful for this week?

Also don’t forget to ask God to help you to always have a teachable and humble heart. Also spend some time reading John 3 and think about it.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week was very special with 2 significant events. A while back I went to a brunch at someone’s house together with different families and ended up having great conversation with different dads that were there. It made me think of how fun it would be to do something together just with the dads. So, the first Dad brunch was born. I hosted dads from our area for a nice big brunch. It was a wonderful time of getting to know each other more and to just spent time together with others that are in the same walk of life and encourage each other. It was really wonderful and everyone really enjoyed it. The second thing was Sunday morning, a spiritual son who I knew since he was 16 and walked alongside with for many years preached at a church where I met him 22 years ago while helping with a day camp. Its amazing to see how far God has brought him and how he uses him now to empower, encourage and share the good news with a new generation. I want to encourage you with both of those things. If God puts something on your heart, do it (Brunch in my case)!! Second keep investing in young people and see what God will do through that!!

We also hope you got inspired by the video of  Adoniram Judson. Ask God to show you where you have allowed false philosophies or ways of thinking into your heart or mind that are not aligned with His. When you find these things, ask Him to fill that area with His truth. Also ask Him to show you the people He wants to use you with to help them come back to Him?

God bless you

Mountain Reminder

Today we are talking about mountains, but not literal ones. Be inspired!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Our week here in San Francisco was again full of time with different people. Many of them live right in our area, which is great and also opens doors for spontaneous conversation. These spontaneous moments often deepen friendships. Whether it’s a quick hello to someone on the way to the park or while running around the block or meeting other families and children in the park, all of this opens up opportunities for conversation. We want to encourage you to live these opportunities in your neighborhood.

Also, don’t forget to look back at your life and remember the moments where you stood in front of a big mountain and God came through.

God bless you
