A journey through the bible the book of Zechariah

2 more books to go! Yay!! And today we are reading about Zechariah. This book is pointing very strongly to Jesus the Messiah who they were waiting for. Be inspired!!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week! Last week was special since we got special times with our neighbor community with a special brunch, our church community with a special guest leaders meeting and our YWAM Family and our worship time together. It is such a blessing to have those different communities. All of us need at least 2 of those a good church community and a wonderful neighbor community. To get those we have to make sure to give time to each of them and see them build and strengthen over time. Trust us you will be blessed!!

Also what spoke to you out of the book of Zechariah?

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Haggai

3 more books and you read through the whole bible!! Yay!! Today we are on the book of Haggai. God send that prophet when people lived in spiritual apathy. He was the first prophet that came to the post exilic community. A big part of his message was for repentance from apathy. May this book speak to you!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful Easter. What did you do for it?

Our Easter week here was full of wonderful times with people. If It was with a brunch, a Easter egg hunt with moms and children or our wonderful church service were I got to share part of my story (Markus), it was so wonderful to connect with so many individuals. People are the most important thing for God (like we see clearly on Easter) so let them be the most important thing (right after God) for us.

Also dont forget the video blog and Hagai and ask God this week if there is any apathy in your life and then give it to him and let him heal you in that area!!

God bless you

Stories to think about – Zechariah with a message of a humble King

Our story today is about Zechariah and a humble future King. May it be an encouragement to you!

Hi our friend

First we want to wish you a blessed Easter!! We hope you had some time this week to reflect on what Easter and the good news mean to you personally.

Last week Caleb had his birthday and it was a wonderful time. Jen got cupcakes to take to the park to celebrate with the Moms and children she build a community with in this last season. It’s a blessing for both sides. Where are you connecting with people? Have you had a chance to build a community with them?

In our Story to think about Zecheriah talked about a humble King. Lets ask ourself how we can live more humble like Jesus!

God bless you

Stories to think about – Habakkuk’s time with God

Our story today is about Habakkuk and his time with God that changed him. Be challenged and encouraged by him!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We had a wonderful week!! Our new schedule enabled us to have more times of prayer as well as being able to connect with people more spontaniously. It is wonderful. It takes some adjustment and planning to do all the office work in a bit less then 1 day but God is helping us in that. If God is calling you into something new he will help you along the way, you don’t have to do it on your own. God makes a way were it seems impossible (remember Moses and the red sea).

Also dont forget to spend time with God to get his perspective and his true heart on things!! You will be blessed!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Zephaniah

Only 4 more blogs till the end of our journey through the bible and this time we have the only prophet that had royalty ancestry. His great grandfather was king Hezekia. His role may have also played a big role in bringing revival to the nation with finding the torah again during his time. Be inspired and encouraged by this prophet!

Hi our friend

How are you?

During our time in Jamaica we saw more and more how God gifted certain nations in certain areas, in Jamaica it is definitely prayer. For many years the church had days of prayer and fasting and not just a small group would show up, no but many people. The church of Jens “Jamaican Dad” has probably participate over 100 people on an average Tuesday to pray and fast for 4 hours. And it is amazing to see how much of an impact God made on this island through that and how many people came to know him over the years, but not just that the people that spend more time in prayer with him are also having a closer relationship with him. Over this last season God was speaking to us more about the importance of prayer and fasting and to increase that in our own life and that time really confirmed that. We also want to encourage you to join us in increasing prayer in your life.

After reading through Zephaniah spend some time praying and asking god for revival in todays time. Ask God for your role in that!!

God bless you
