Distractions

We all have them in our life but watch this blog to see how to overcome them!

Hey our friend

We hope you had a great week!! Jen and I are in Hong Kong and Seoul right now for my brothers wedding and also seeing friends and sharing about Love your neighbor in Korea. Keep us in your prayers so that god gives us the right words to inspire people to love their neighbor and through that share their love for Jesus with them. Thank you for praying!!

Here is a link to the live album as it happens from our trip! Enjoy!! https://photos.app.goo.gl/fWTYSiJZTz6XJgXAA

Knocking Down Giants

Be excited this Blog is about a lot of power and strength!

Hey our friend

Lots of dinners with people give you a good reason to exercise more which is a double win. We get to spend time with neighbors for dinner and then we see them again when we are running the dinner of around the block 🙂 . It’s a wonderful way to connect with our community.

We hope you had a wonderful week wherever you are on this planet!! Besides all the running and eating we had a lot of other moments to connect and help to make our neighborhood a better place by serving different needs. Its wonderful how God can use every moment in our life to bring hope also when you are outside and when you connect. Make sure to do that too!!

In a few days my brother is getting married in Hong Kong to his wonderful wife which we are excited about and then after we are in Korea seeing some friends and also share at YWAM Korea about love your neighbor and how they can apply it in Seoul. Pray that people are inspired!!

Have a blessed week and remember that you can knock down Giants!!

God bless you

Lion Power

Be excited this Blog is about a lot of power and strength!

Hey our friend

We hope you had a fantastic week! Jen loves art and that’s why she started teaching art classes at the boys and girls club like this week. Through the program she had the opportunity to build deeper relationships with the kids and could encourage them as well as answer questions that they had about God. A great opportunity to use the gifts has given her. God also gave you many gifting’s to change the world. What are yours and how can you use them to change the world?

We also had many opportunities to deepen friendships and through that show and share more about our faith and our relationships with Father God. The best way to share the gospel is through genuine and meaningful relationships with neighbors and people we are seeing regularly. Use the chance to share the good news of the gospel so that it can be life changing for them too!!

We wish you a blessed week and don’t forget the lion power that is with you!

God bless you

Rhythms

We have a new video blog with a topic that can really help you to make things happen that you otherwise just think of!

 

Hey our friend

Sometimes showing a friend the love of God, is helping them searching for a job. That is exactly what I did last week. I helped an old friend that worked at our local coffee shop with job search. Often simple things like that that all of us can do speak volumes about how much we care. We want to encourage you to exactly do that. If a neighbor or someone needs your help, help even if it seems insignificant and maybe inconvenient, do it anyway!

With that as an intro we hope you had a wonderful week!! Our week here was great with many opportunities to connect and love on people. It’s awesome to see how God can use each one of us! Jen and I celebrated also Valentine’s day together by playing games and eating a brownie at home. It was so refreshing and we were able to avoid all the big crowds.

We wish you a wonderful week!! Don’t forget to establish rhythms in your life!!

God bless you

Watch our newest blog to find what its about! Be encouraged!

Hey our friend

If I would have to describe the week with one word it would be meeting. We had our half yearly Bay area evaluation meeting which was encouraging. It s a meeting to see how everyone is doing and how the different locations are doing and to pray and help in ways we can. Then we met with neighbors and friends from the community for time of sharing. Then I also had an old friend from Germany here to visit and we also had a brunch with neighbors as well as our usual weekly things. It is amazing to see how God is using those times to be really encouraging to us as well as the others we meet up with. Why don’t you meet up with someone this week that you haven’t seen for a while and see how they are doing!!

Don’t forget this week to be encouraged by father God!

God bless you
