We had a wonderful time on our vaccation and it was so refreshing to all of us. We didnt really know how much we needed the refreshment till we got it. Now we are back in San Francisco to some really rainy weather. We hope you had a wonderful week too!!

Dont forget this week to think about the them of this weeks blog and especially about what you would say if God asks you what you would like to have?

God bless you

Our story today is about a David a man who honors God! You can read the stories in the book of 1. Samuel 24 and 26!

Hi our friend

How are you?

I cant believe that its already the last week in September. This year went by so fast. But looking back its amazing to see how God is moving things forward in so many areas. Just in this last week we finished a 21 day Love your neighbor challenge with a local church in the bay area. It was a blessing working together with them to make a difference in their community. We also had great times connecting with a friend in the neighborhood over a meal and talk about our love for Jesus. Spend this week some time to think about why you love Jesus and then share it with others.

Also spend some time to hink about how you can honor God in your life?

God bless you

Our story today is about a lady name Ruth and going to a foreign land! You can read the story in the book of Ruth!

Hi our friend

During this last week we spend extra time praying for all the major things going on in the world that affect so many people. If it’s the flooding in Germany, the Afghanistan situation or the drought in different parts of the world that affects many. Often its hard for us to make a physical difference at the affected location since its often far away. But through prayer and giving we can stand with the people there even if they are far away. Ask God this week what your role is in bringing change into places of struggle in this world and how you can make a difference from where you are!! Let God guide you in that!!

Also along with the story of Ruth ask yourself where did God call you to? It doesn’t matter where, just follow him and trust that he will provide for you!

God bless you

Our story today is about a man named Gideon, the man who knocks down idols! You can read his story in Judges 6!

Hi our friend

How are you?

Connecting with others is always a blessing and this week was full of them. Jen and I both got to connect with people at different times during the week and we both just loved it. When we spend time with others we get to hear different perspectives and see a different side of Gods heart through others since he made each of us unique. Spend some time this week with others, learn from each other and be encouraged!!

Caleb also brings a lot of joy to us every week. He just recently started to laugh which is awesome. We just love this little boy.

At the beginning of the blog you got to watch the video of Gideon.  I love the story of Gideon and his heart for God and how he got rid of that idol. Ask yourself this week what idols God wants you to knock down in your life!

God bless you

Todays story is about a man with great trust in God! You can read his story in Joshua 5.13- 6.27!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We are doing well. It is amazing to see how Caleb is growing a lot. I saw a picture of when I held him when he was just born and what a difference there is.

This week again felt a bit more like pre covid times. I had a few meetings with different Pastors outside in person to talk about loving your neighbor. It felt good to have those. We also had a board meeting which was also a good time of conversation. From week to week we also learn more on how to run the online love your neighbor community. There is definitely still a lot to learn in that area and if anyone would like to share their expertise with us we would really appreciate it! We want it to be a place to encourage, inspire and give practical tools to love our neighbors as well as a place to ask questions and connect with others that want to love their neighbor too. Join in! https://love-your-neighbor.mn.co/feed

And don’t forget this week to be inspired by Joshua and his courage and trust in God. Let it be our prayer this week to grow our trust in God!!

God bless you

Markus and Jen
