Do you know how loved you are? Watch todays video and let the love of Jesus speak to you. You can read about it in Mark 4:32-42, Luke 23:33-49 and Mark 15:22-41

Hi our friend

How are you?

Our week was great in San Francisco as well as in at the conference in Colorado. I felt so encouraged and inspired by the different people who shared at the conference, as well by our conversations sitting and brainstorming together around the table. I got to hear so many things of how God is moving in different places, including in my homeland Germany. If you want to hear more about it message me. I also got to see my god son and his family and also Mikel and his family. While I was gone Jen got to meet up with different mom friends in the neighborhood and Caleb could play with his friends.

There is no greater love then the love of Jesus. Spend some time this week to think about the love he showed you and each one of us by going to the cross.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

Jesus did a lot of things different then people expected him to do. He showed a different way, a way to inspire us too to live different. You can read about it in Matthew 21:1-10 and John 13: 5-17

Hi our friend

How are you? I hope you had a wonderful week!!

We had a great week here in San Francisco. On Friday we had our twice a year evaluation time which was super encouraging. It was so good to get input from others as well as spending time together. Those times are wonderful for the ones who evaluate and the ones who get evaluated.  On Saturday I (Markus) left for a conference in Colorado and together with that I am also able to see my god son and my friends that live close to there. I’m super excited!

Dont forget this coming week to Imagine what would happen if we all live the different way Jesus taught us. What would that show to the world? Let us all start with it even if it is in a small way.

God bless you

Nothing stands in the way of Jesus not even death. Today we are looking at 2 situations in which Jesus brought 2 people back to life. You can read about them in Luke 7:11-17 and Mark 5:21-24, 35-43

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had a wonderful week. Our week has been good here. We are still unpacking some more boxes but most of it is unpacked and put away. We were able to have our first guests over too to our new apartment, which was wonderful. We are looking forward to many more to come and visit! Hospitality is such a great way to get to know people and also build community. If you haven’t done it for a while make sure to make it a part of your life again. If you have never done it before, try it out with simply having someone over for a coffee and be blessed by the time.

We also want to encourage you to be Jesus hand and feet to people around you. See what they need and ask Jesus how and if he wants to use you to be the answer.

God bless you

Jesus didn’t just bring physical healing to people, but also emotional one. Today we will share about 2 ladies who got to experience that. Read about both of them in John 4 and John 8.3-11.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week. During the last month we saw again how much of a blessing it is to have a strong community. After 12 years in our apartment, we started to run out of space, especially with Caleb around too. We prayed for a while for a new place in the same area and then God opened it up (we can share that miracle story with you sometime when you see us)! Instead of 450square feet we have now 760squarefeet which makes a big difference. We also have for the first time a washer and dryer in the building which is a blessing too.  While we were moving all the things in our old apartment 3 buildings up to the new one many of our friends from church, ywam and other places, neighbors and a new friend a construction worker helped us in so many ways. Some helped carry heavy items over, others watched Caleb, others borrowed us vehicles or tools and some others helped us clean and even paid for cleaners for the final move out cleaning. And then some gave us furniture or other things we needed. One of the things we prayed for was a bigger table so we can fit more people and God answered that prayer too through friends who had an extra one! We feel so blessed!! Thank you to each one of you! We are so blessed by community! We are also excited to have more people over again since we have more space. Our new table fits many people so come by for a visit!!!!

With this weeks video we want to encourage you to ask Jesus to help you and us to grow in being more loving and forgiving to others but also not begin afraid to help them towards change. Also let him bring inner healing into your own life where you need it!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

I love it when Jesus brings healing and restoration to people. Today we are looking at a woman and a man who both got healed from him. Read about both of them in Luke 8.43-48 and John 9.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a good week. Parts of ours was sad since I found out about 2 friends who passed away. Its always hard to loose someone, even we know they knew and loved Jesus and we will see them again in heaven. Death is hard for the ones that are left behind and go through the grief. But we know from Psalm 34.18 that The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. We are praying for Gods peace and comfort for both of the families.

With a lot of rain in the last months, it was sometimes hard to connect with families in the park. But during the last week Jen was able to do that. Everyone was excited to be outside and be able to see each other. The park became a little community over time. If you go to a place regularly and are intentional you will have wonderful opportunities to connect with people. It can be at a local park, a coffee shop or other places in your neighborhood were people meet. You will be blessed!

We also want to encourage you to ask Jesus to be used by Him to bring change into the lives of people in your area and to be his hand and feet.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb
