Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

One of our good friends from the neighborhood passed away a little bit ago and last weekend we got to go to the Memorial. Jen got to share a little bit about or friendship with her and all the wonderful moments we had together and about how much she meant to us. But we also got to hear from different people who were there how much our friendship meant to her. Friendship with our neighbors matters more then you might think!!

We also hope you got encouraged through todays Gospel Carrier Jim Elliot. We want to encourage you to think about what it means for you to lay down your life for the Gospel and if you are willing to do it.

Have a blessed week

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 17 false and true Prophets

by

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is about a false and true prophets in Matthew 7.15-20. Be challenged!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

We had such a wonderful time with a Labor Day BBQ on Monday. Different neighbor friends came and we all got to eat together and spend time in each other’s company. We love times like that since you really have an opportunity to get to know each other better in a relaxed environment. We know summer is almost over but if the weather allows and you have a grill maybe invite some of your neighbors over for a BBQ.

One reminder from the video at the end: Lets let Holy Spirit examine our hearts and see if there are areas we are deceived in and let Jesus help us get on the right track. Also lets be sensitive to Holy Spirit and let him lead us to scripture to check on if words from prophets are true or not.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

In most organizations you see and know the faces of the people that are more in the public, but there are many people working behind the scenes that are a big part in making everything work. One of those in our YWAM Bay area family is our finance director. From making sure bills are paid, keeping the books and organizing everything so that donations go to the right spot just name a few, she did such an amazing job. She made sure all those things are working and done correctly over all those years. She also helped to put together and trained a team (which im also part of) which will now take on her roles when she is leaving. We are all so thankful for her and are sad to see her go but in the same way are happy for her and her family for the next things God has for her.

We also hope you got encouraged through todays Gospel Carrier Elisabeth Elliot. We want to encourage you to use the giftings God has given you to share the gospel.

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 16 a small and a wide gate

by

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is about a small and a wide gate in Matthew 7.13-14. Be encouraged!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

This week we got some sad news. Our friend Mikel who had such a love for Jesus, and who I knew almost as long as I was here in San Francisco, passed away. I will write some more thoughts about my friend at a later time. I want to ask you to keep his family in prayer in this time of grief.

One reminder from the video at the end: Lets examine our lives and see on which path we are at this point and make adjustments if needed. If you never made a decision for Jesus we want to encourage you to do that and if you do connect with a local church, start reading the bible and start to pray. Also a great thing to do is joining an Alpha course. It will give you a good foundation for your journey with Jesus!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Last Saturday different churches in the city hosted an annual worship event called the sound in the middle of Golden Gate park. The wonderful thing about this event is that people who just spent time in the park get to hear about Jesus. Its such a wonderful event. I got to help at the prayer area and pray for some people including a young man who randomly walked by the area and heard the music and checked it out.

We also hope you got encouraged through todays Gospel Carrier Helen Rosevaere. We want to encourage you even when things fall apart to lean into Jesus.

Have a blessed week
