Redemption Part 2 Redemption from Circumstances

If you missed last week here is a little intro to our series:I love how God is the God of redemption. Over this next season we will talk more about that through our new Series on Redemption. We will start off with some of the why and also some Redemption in the Old Testament, then move into the Christmas story, then a bit into Jesus’ life here on earth and then go towards Easter with everything that happened around that time. After watching each of the videos we want to encourage you to think about how God wants to partner with you to bring His Redemption to people in your neighborhood, workplace, school etc. Be inspired and encouraged through this Series. This week we are talking about how God brings Redemption of Circumstances for his people in the Old Testament. You can read the stories in the whole old testament.

Hi our friend

First of all we want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving! We hope you are going to have a wonderful time with family and friends! Thanksgiving is one of the celebrations were food and great conversations are so plenty. We are excited for a wonderful time with our neighbor friends and are so thankful for each of them. What are you thankful for this season?

Also let’s spend some time thinking about (watch video blog on top) where we mainly ask God for deliverance from circumstances and then forget about him in our own life? Let us ask Him to help us grow in our relationship with Him in all circumstances!

God bless you

Redemption Part 1 Why is Redemption needed

I love how God is the God of redemption. Over this next season we will talk more about that through our new Series on Redemption. We will start off with some of the why and also some Redemption in the Old Testament, then move into the Christmas story, then a bit into Jesus’ life here on earth and then go towards Easter with everything that happened around that time. After watching each of the videos we want to encourage you to think about how God wants to partner with you to bring His Redemption to people in your neighborhood, workplace, school etc. Be inspired and encouraged through this Series. This week we are starting off with Why Redemption is needed in first place! For that, we are going back all the way to the beginning. You can read the story in Genesis 1-3.

 

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had a wonderful week! One of the things I do every week is to join a zoom prayer meeting with different people from our church. Its always wonderful to pray together for things going on in our city, neighborhoods and the world. We also had a really encouraging meeting this week which affirmed a lot of the direction we are going. In the coming week we start to plan for our Thanksgiving meal which will be a lot of fun. What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Are you planning to have neighbors over for it?

Also are you ready to work together with God in His redemption plan we talked about in the video?

God bless you

God and waiting

This weeks blog is about God and waiting. Waiting isn’t something we like to do a lot especially in a time where most things can be had instant. So why is waiting especially with God so important and what can we learn from it. Join us in this weeks video blog and be inspired.

Hi our friend

How are you?

All of our health is improving. Thank you God! Jen is fully recovered, Caleb still has a cough and I am almost better from the cough. Thank you for praying for us. But isn’t it great that if you have multiple people in the family that some can go out and still encourage others. Jen was able to do that this week and could encourage a few people with some of them going through a hard season. And even with being sick we can still pray and do things from the bed which is a blessing. It reminds me of how Paul said that in his weakness Christ is strong. God is our strength!

We also want to encourage you this week with the words from the video to trust God and be ok with waiting. Ask him what he has for you in waiting times.

God bless you

Growing in faith, but how?

In this this weeks blog we are looking at Mark 6 and how Jesus helped his disciples to grow in their faith while walking with them. Be encouraged!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had an awesome week!! I started to prepare a new Video Series on Redemption. It will start to come out in November. We are excited to see how God will inspire and encourage people through it. We also had the opportunity to connect with many people in our community this week which was a real blessing. Just by running in the morning we got in deep conversations with neighbors. Make sure to make time in your life so God can open doors for conversations like that!

Also don’t forget to invite Jesus to walk closely with you on your journey in growing in your faith!

God bless you

Loren Cunningham

This weeks blog are some thoughts about Loren Cunningham, one of our heroes of faith, who just passed away. Through his obedience to God and laying down his life as well as his humbleness God changed the world through him. He started Youth with a Mission which then over time turned into a mission organization that had an impact in the whole world and many people got to hear the gospel cause of it. If you want to be inspired, challenged and encouraged by his life read his story in the book “Christian Heroes then and now Loren Cunningham into all the world”. If you click on the link you can order it through YWAM Publishing.

Hi friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Our time in Pennsylvania was a wonderful and refreshing. It was so great to see family, friends and supporters. Thank you God for this time. Our time back home so far was also wonderful since we got to reconnect with neighbors and our communities here. We are excited to see what God has in store in this 4th quarter of the year. What are you excited about in this coming season?

We want to encourage you through Lorens life to give all of your life to God as well so he can use you in power in this world.

God bless you
