Our story today is about Zechariah and a humble future King. May it be an encouragement to you!

Hi our friend

First we want to wish you a blessed Easter!! We hope you had some time this week to reflect on what Easter and the good news mean to you personally.

Last week Caleb had his birthday and it was a wonderful time. Jen got cupcakes to take to the park to celebrate with the Moms and children she build a community with in this last season. It’s a blessing for both sides. Where are you connecting with people? Have you had a chance to build a community with them?

In our Story to think about Zecheriah talked about a humble King. Lets ask ourself how we can live more humble like Jesus!

God bless you

Our story today is about Habakkuk and his time with God that changed him. Be challenged and encouraged by him!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We had a wonderful week!! Our new schedule enabled us to have more times of prayer as well as being able to connect with people more spontaniously. It is wonderful. It takes some adjustment and planning to do all the office work in a bit less then 1 day but God is helping us in that. If God is calling you into something new he will help you along the way, you don’t have to do it on your own. God makes a way were it seems impossible (remember Moses and the red sea).

Also dont forget to spend time with God to get his perspective and his true heart on things!! You will be blessed!

God bless you

Our story today is about Nahum and his challenging message he had to share. Be challenged and encouraged by him!

Hi our friend

How are you?

In Romans 12.15 it says rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. We were able to walk with people of both sides of this verse during our last week. Both are equally important and are a blessing to the ones you are with. There are seasons in life like it talks about in Ecclesiastes 3.4. and its important to not change them but walk with people in whatever season they are in. We want to encourage you to this with others around you. Ask Holy spirit to guide you in those times.

Also remember from our weekly video blog, In comparison to Nahum we always have the possibility of redemption today through Jesus. Don’t forget to share these good news with people!!

God bless you

Our story today is about Jonah and how bitterness controlled his life. Be challenged!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had an awesome week!! Ours was wonderful. We started now shortly after we wake up and gave Caleb breakfast to go outside and run and walk as a family up on our hill. We used to do that just Jen and I and after Caleb was born Jen and I at separate times. But now doing that as a family connects us with many more people. Everyone is excited seeing Caleb first thing in the day and he always brightens the day of everyone who gets a smile from him. It is such an easy and simple way to connect with neighbors and now we do it as a family. Spend some time in the morning or at night to go outside for a walk or run. Connect with your neighbors and also do something good for your health!

And now at the end a question to this week’s story to think about: Do we have bitterness in our life that might hold us away from truly wanting others to come back to God? Pray and let God search your heart and show you if something is there and then also bringing healing!!

God bless you

Our story today is about Amos, Shepherds and the Christmas story. Be encouraged!

Hi our friend

First of all we wish you a blessed and merry Christmas! May this time be a real blessing to you!!

For Jen and me the last week was definitely the week of Christmas celebrations. Between the two of us we went to 5 of them. The great thing about celebrations is that you often see people that you don’t know that well yet and you get the chance to get to know them better just by having a longer conversation. Last week we encouraged you with our love your neighbor tip to have some kind of celebration for christmas with your neighbors. Did you get a chance to do that? If not you still have a few days for a time to get together!

Also dont forget how the Christmas story and Amos show how every person is important to God! Remember that!!

God bless you

Markus and Jen
