Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

During last week I got to connect with the leaders of the different YWAM Bay area ministries. It was such a wonderful time of sharing and praying for each other. Every time we have those I leave encouraged. Do you have a group of people you pray with? If not start looking for other believers and start to get together and pray!!

We also hope you got encouraged through Camerons story!  Ask God if he calls you to be a part of translating the bible orally into your dialect. If he calls you to do that you can do multiple things: You can pray for the ones who translate, you can help translate or you can support financially.

Have a blessed week

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

During the last week many people from all over the country came to San Francisco cause of the Superbowl. It was great to see the downtown area of the city come alive again with all the activity and all the things that were set up for the Superbowl. Even none of us is into football, it is a joy to see the joy in other people’s faces and their excitement. Looking at how alive downtown was is a reminder to how God can bring dead things back to life. If there is anything dead in your life bring it to him!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Corrie ten Boom. If you hit a roadblock don’t give up keep going and keep leaning into God!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Our week was very admin heavy. To some admin doesn’t sound like too much fun but I really enjoy doing it from time to time.  I think it really helps to watch our attitude with how we approach things. If we go at it with an attitude of I get to do this it helps us to find joy in the midst of it and see all the good things in it vs if I go at it with I have to do this the joy is often not there. I want to encourage you to approach things that you feel you have to do with an attitude of I get to do this.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Corrie ten Boom. If there is someone in your life that you have to forgive ask god to help you. Or if you know someone that can’t forgive pray for them that they will be able to forgive and experience the healing that comes through it.

Have a blessed week

Hi our friend

We hope you are having a wonderful Advent Season. When you light the second candle for the second Advent spend some time to think about Jesus the Prince of Peace.

We had a good week in San Francisco with multiple special events. We celebrated our annual YWAM Christmas party. It was so nice spending time together with the whole YWAM Family from the bay area. Jen got honored that night for being with YWAM San Francisco for 15 years. Time goes so fast!!! Before we had our neighbor brunch on Saturday we celebrated with Caleb Nikolaus (a german tradition where you fill the shoes of the child with fruit candy and a toy) and he was so happy finding the gifts in his shoe. We also told him in the days leading up the story of Saint Nicholas (I made a video about him last year its under this link if you want to hear more). Our neighbor brunch was also wonderful as well. We always get into so many good conversations.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier John Flynn. Is God calling you to an isolated Community in your country? If ask him how you can meet a practical need there, become a true friend and share the good news with them!!

Have a blessed week
