Leave a reply

Today we are starting our blog series on Lord of the Rings. We will talk about different topics from it over the next few weeks. Today its about never giving up! Be encouraged

Just in case you are not familiar with the story of the Lord of the rings here is a short introduction.

Hi our friend

We hope you had an awesome week!! Jen and I are so excited to see how the book is really moving forward in big ways. We have been writing every week for one morning. It showed us again about the importance of long-term goals and not to give up. We want to encourage you with that too to not give up on your long-term goals and keep going!! Our week here has been great too with exciting times to connect with people and our beautiful fall summer!! We look forward to see what god has in store for the next few weeks. Pray with us that all the people in our city would find their hope in Jesus!

Remember to never give up!

Have a blessed week!!

Let us be men and women that point towards God

We can learn a lot from the book of Exodus and today we want to look at the importance to point to God. Be encouraged

Hey our friend

I don’t know if you have ever seen the Lord of the Rings movies, but if not they are wonderful films that can greatly encourage to never give up, kind of like Moses when he stood at the red sea! We did a marathon last Saturday and watched all of them with friends. Movie Marathons are a great way to invite fellow movie lovers from the neighborhood over. This week was also one of our YWAM Board meetings which I was part of. Outside of that it was a normal week. Please pray with us for our neighborhood that people will truly find God and fall in love with him. Thank you!

Remember this week to be a speaker for God that brings courage and hope but especially points people towards him.

God bless you

Markus and Jen

P.s. We also really like this song that really shows some of God’s greatness and why we can easily point towards him!

Superheroes, their 2nd Identity and you

Leave a reply

Most of us are fascinated with superheroes and we love them. In this video I want to talk about how many of those heroes have a 2nd identity and how that relates to you too.

Hey our friend

What is new with you? Give us an update on your life. If I would have to put a headline on our week it would be dinners are creating true community. We had many dinners this week with different people and it was a real blessing since all of us got really encouraged and we were able to invest in each other. And our dinners are not elaborate. They are often meals that are simple but good. So everyone can cook a simple meal, including you! Of course you can’t just eat all week so we also had all our other things going on as well which also brought deeper connections.

Like we said in the video, you can be a hero to your neighborhood and make a difference. Bring his love and point people towards the ultimate hero were this love comes from!!

God bless you

Markus and Jen

Is it even significant what I do?

Hey our friend

How was your week? Ours was a normal week without big events but in the same way a wonderful week. Its just wonderful being able to encourage people and to serve in our neighborhood in all our places. Its just great!! I love how ywam has a heart for the whole city and how important it is to serve in each part. We want to keep encouraging you to make a difference in your neighborhood by loving your neighbor, serving with different needs or in whatever other capacity. Your neighborhood is the place where you are the most so lets invest in it!!

As we talk about in the video little things that you do can leave an impact. So make sure to keep doing those!

God bless you

Hey our friend

We hope you had an awesome week!! We had our last summer barbecue here on Labor day which was such a wonderful time for all who came.  And since everyone brought something for it, it wasn’t too many preparations either. During the week we also watched the dog of friends which led to conversations with dog owners. It’s amazing that when we help out others that in return we are blessed too.

Don’t forget this week to use your giftings!!

God bless you
