Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

The world cup just started and 5 of the games will be played in the San Francisco area. People from all over the world are visiting which gives such a great opportunity to meet and get in conversation. I remember years ago how just by watching a world cup game with someone I got to encourage that person in a deep way.

We want to encourage you to use this opportunity to watch a game of another country with someone or a group from that country and celebrate with them. During those times some wonderful connections can be build and deeper conversations can happen.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Jacob DeShazer. Ask God if there are “enemies” that you still have to forgive and ask him to help you with it!

Have a blessed week

Markus, Jen and Caleb

Hallo unser Freund

Wir hoffen, du hattest eine wunderbare Woche!!

Die Weltmeisterschaft hat gerade begonnen, und fünf der Spiele werden im Raum San Francisco ausgetragen. Menschen aus der ganzen Welt besuchen unsere Stadt, was eine großartige Gelegenheit bietet, neue Menschen kennenzulernen und mit ihnen ins Gespräch zu kommen. Ich erinnere mich daran, wie ich vor einigen Jahren allein dadurch, dass ich mit jemandem ein WM-Spiel angeschaut habe, diese Person auf eine tiefe Weise ermutigen konnte.

Wir möchten euch ermutigen, diese Gelegenheit zu nutzen und gemeinsam mit einer Person oder einer Gruppe aus einem anderen Land ein Spiel ihrer Nationalmannschaft anzuschauen und mit ihnen zu feiern. In solchen Momenten können wunderbare Beziehungen entstehen und tiefere Gespräche geführt werden.

Wir hoffen, dass du durch die Geschichte von Jacob DeShazer inspiriert wurdest. Frage Gott ob du noch „Feinde“ hast denen du noch vergeben musst und bitte ihn dir dabei zu helfen!

Gott segne Dich

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Its sometimes so simple then writing a quick message to someone to make their day. I have seen that so many times when God put someone on my heart and I end up writing them a message how they respond with how encouraged they were. This is not even so much about how much you write in the message but more about the fact that they know you are thinking about them. We want to encourage you to act when God puts someone on your heart to send them a message or give them a quick call!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carriers Richard und Sabrina Wurmbrand. We want to encourage you to support a persecuted Christian through prayer and other support. If you don’t know any personally support an organization like voice of the martyrs who will then bring it to right spot!

Have a blessed week

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Many times life is busy for you and for us. So its important to find times of rest to refresh. Remember how Jesus withdrew from the crowds to spend time with his father. Its important for each one of us to make time for rest if it’s our weekly sabbath or the occasional vacation. Those times help us to get away from the every day things and to just stop. After we come back refreshed and also more energetic to the things God calls us to do. Last week we got to do that. We got to get away for a vacation and God refreshed us during this time. It was wonderful. We want to encourage you to set aside a weekly Sabbath to rest and also from time to time a vacation to really get away.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Pray about where God calls you to stand up for the truth.

Have a blessed week

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Once a week I meet up with a Prayer team from our church to pray for different things together. We usually have some topics we know about but we also let Holy Spirit lead us in what to pray for. It is so amazing to see how many times he lead us to pray for things we didn’t think about. Often we saw and heard later that these were the things really needed and how God ended up bringing change. We want to encourage you through this to yes pray for things that you already have on your list, but then also make sure to give Holy Spirit time to point out or share things with you to pray for.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Eric Liddell. What giftings do you think God has given you and how can you use it to share the Gospel?

Have a blessed week

Hallo unser Freund

Wir hoffen, du hattest eine wunderbare Woche!!

Einmal pro Woche treffe ich mich mit einem Gebetsteam aus unserer Gemeinde, um gemeinsam für verschiedene Anliegen zu beten. Normalerweise haben wir einige Themen, die wir bereits kennen, aber wir lassen uns auch vom Heiligen Geist darin leiten, wofür wir beten sollen. Es ist so erstaunlich zu sehen, wie oft er uns dazu geführt hat, für Dinge zu beten, an die wir vorher gar nicht gedacht haben. Oft haben wir später gesehen oder gehört, dass genau das die Dinge waren, die wirklich gebraucht wurden, und wie Gott letztendlich Veränderung gebracht hat. Wir möchten dich dadurch ermutigen, ja, für die Dinge zu beten, die du bereits auf deiner Liste hast, aber dann auch darauf zu achten, dem Heiligen Geist Zeit zu geben, dir weitere Anliegen zu zeigen oder mitzuteilen, für die du beten kannst.

Wir hoffen, dass du durch die Geschichte von Eric Liddell inspiriert wurdest. Stell dir die Frage welche Gaben Gott dir gab und wie du diese einsetzen kannst um das Evangelium zu verbreiten?

Gott segne Dich

This weeks Gospel Carrier is a woman from Canada who had a heart for a people group in China. Be inspired by her story.   If you want to read more of her story the book Christian Heros then and now Isobel Kuhn on the roof of the world is a great way to do that!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We had such a wonderful time at the retreat of a church in San Francisco who invited us to share for the weekend. We had a group of 35 people who we shared with about loving your neighbor and building community right where you are at. So much good conversation was had and so many good plans to start loving the ones around them started. What a wonderful time!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Isobel Kuhn. Ask yourself these 2 questions: Where is God calling you to? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus or is it more just head knowledge? If this is the case start a personal relationship with Him!!

Have a blessed week
