Why is it important?
When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us. And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!
The weather is getting warmer which makes it perfect for this month tip to have a BBQ! Watch the video with some tips on that!
Hi our friend
How are you?
Wow this last week in San Francisco felt like summer arrived early! We had such wonderful weather here and with that many people are back out again! Which is wonderful because some people we only saw on screens for the last year! The screens are still a thing so since we still had meetings on them in the last week. We feel blessed to have them availible so we get to encourage and empower people in places far away just by walking over to the screen, Especially in the season we are in with having our newborn son and also coming out of the pandemic its such a blessing.
Jen got to celebrate Mothers day last sunday and that was just awesome!! We had a wonderful time as a family. We hope you got to celebrate too!! And a special shoutout to all the Moms out there Happy delayed mothers day to all of you!
I know some places with the covid situation it might not be possible yet to have a bbq, but if not you can still start to plan for it. For all the others, have lots of fun with your neighbors BBQ!
God bless you
Markus and Jen
Today I want to give you a little intro into the book of acts. I really love the stories of the disciples and how God moved through them. May it inspire you!!
I promise, for those who don’t like math, this blog is not about that kind of numbers. No its about the book of Numbers which gives a lot of inside in the amount of people from each tribe of Israel and how they stepped into different challenges. We hope it gives you a little bit an inside in the book and encourages you.
Finally i get to tell you here about the birth of our little boy Caleb Heinz Theophilus. He was born March 28th. He brings so much joy to us and many of our neighbors that have seen him so far through our window!
