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

Markus, Jen and Caleb

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

Markus, Jen and Caleb

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

Markus, Jen and Caleb

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

Gospel Carriers: Fanny Crosby

This weeks Gospel Carrier is a lady from the US, who wrote 9000 Hymns! Be encouraged and inspired by her!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Tomorrow, Saturday, we will run our first 6 session love your neighbor class with a church from the area. It’s a class to inspire others in loving their neighbor and having so much joy in doing it. Over the years we taught 1 or 2 session workshops but felt its important to develop it into a longer class to walk alongside with people and encourage and help them in the process. Pray for us in this exciting season!

We hope that you have been inspired by Fanny Crosby. We want to encourage you that God wants to use your talents and gifts to touch the life’s of people.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb
