The first blog of 2019 is about a really important topic that can help us to change our relationships and communities. Be blessed.
Hey our friend
First of all if you didn’t read the last Blog we want to wish you a blessed and happy new year! We had a wonderful few days with family in Pennsylvania and got back on New years eve to San Francisco to a lot of firework. When we got back we had a few days with friends. Sadly at the end of the week both of us got sick with a cold. pray with us for quick recovery! But we are excited for this new year and all the awesome things God has planned for it. Our prayer for this year is, that more people in our neighborhood and your neighborhood experience His love through you and us and fall in love with Him. Lets love on our neighbors extra in the year 2019!!
Have a blessed week!!
God bless you

What a perfect verse was chosen in the German church as the verse for the year 2019. Seeking peace and also pursuing it is so focused on an action of each one of us. A little while ago we heard a speaker share about how he seeks peace between Israeli and Palestinians and how much breakthrough he has seen over the years. But it took an action on his side to bring people together and to keep pursuing peace between them. He didn’t start through politics or a big media engagement, no he just brought youth from both sides together to meet and start understanding each other. Did it bring total peace for everyone yet? No but the people he brought together understand each other now and are connected through a friendship and started to reconcile.
First of all we want to wish you a merry and blessed Christmas!! We had a wonderful last week before Christmas and are excited for our Christmas celebration with our neighbor friends. Every year for Christmas Eve or Christmas day we celebrate Christmas with a nice dinner with neighbors and others from the neighborhood. It’s an equal blessing for the ones who come and for us. God wants to bring community through each one of us. May your family grow by adding neighbors to it. A blessing for you and for them!
We hope this weeks blog brings you a deeper freedom. The 2 scriptures we mention are Micah 7.19 and Psalm103.12 so you can read them!
This is one more blog that I recorded in Barcelona. It was as well at the Olympic Park but this time at the European Square. This blog is about how living for something greater than just ourselves. May it inspire you!!
