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!!

Our tip for this month is sing Christmas carols with neighbors at a nursing home or senior center! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

First of all we want to wish you a happy and blessed first of Advent week!! The first candle symbolizes hope which is something so important in every area of our life. Spend some time this week to think about true hope only God can bring.

If I would have to title this week I would call it the week of the meetings. All of the meetings were good and productive which is wonderful. I really love those times to be able to help others but also get help and advice from others. It is such a blessing to walk with others and also see all the different giftings God gave each of them and us in use.

Also as mentioned in our monthly love your neigh or tip, lets bring some joy this Christmas season by singing Christmas carols with neighbors at a nursing home or senior center

God bless you

Our tip for this month is Compliment the first 3 neighbors that you see today! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

How are you?

Caleb and I sadly had some health setbacks this week and didn’t recover fully yet as we hoped for. The sickness seems to really hold on and not wanting to leave. Please keep praying with us for its soon departure!  I was able to keep working on things from bed and could join meetings also that way which was a blessing. Jen has been the best nurse for both of us during that time.

I don’t know if you saw the blog we wrote a wall ago or heard but the Founder of YWAM Loren Cunningham passed away at the beginning of October. Last night they had a beautiful Celebration of life for him that was so encouraging and inspiring. We want to encourage you to watch the recoding of it and be inspired how God used this man to touch many many lives including Jens and mine! watch at https://lorencunningham.com/

Like we said int the video, its always nice to get a compliment right? So lets all do the tip for this month and give a compliment to the first 3 neighbors we see!

God bless you

Hi our friend

How are you?

Our time at the middle school retreat was wonderful. God was encouraging many of the kids through the talks about the Love God, love your neighbor and love yourself theme. We had the opportunity to pray for people and encourage others as well as talk more with them about the talks. Through that time we felt God also gave us new vision which was awesome! All of us came back refreshed from that wonderful time.

Make sure to bless a neighbor this month by bringing them something back from the store that they forgot to get!

God bless you

Our tip for this month is Support Kids in the neighborhood by buying lemonade from their stand! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

We hope you had an amazing week and 4^th of July Celebration!!

Once a week I go on a prayer walk to spend extended time with God. Those times are rich and refreshing times. Last week when I did that God opened up some divine appointments to encourage people and to speak hope into their circumstance. One situation was especially interesting since that person literally thought of me one minute before. Isn’t that awesome. I love when God does that. I want to encourage you with 2 things: 1 to have extended times with God 2. To be open to His lead. Trust me its always an adventure with God.

Lemonade and girl scout cookies are so wonderful and knowing when you consume them you blessed neighborhood kids is even better! So this month buy something from neighbor kids!

God bless you
