Why is it important?

When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us.  And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!

This month we start off by introducing ourselves! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi friend

How are you?

Jen and i are doing good! This week in San Francisco felt almost like spring came early. Usually it would rain and be cold this part of the year but instead it was warm and sunny. That automatically helps to have a good week! Some of the big things this week were finishing up a teaching and also helping in the planning for a after covid relaunch of our church here. Also please keep our and your neighborhood in your prayers in this season since many people are struggling with isolation and business owners with hardship. Pray for peace and wisdom for business owners and courage for the people who are isolated to reach out to others for connection and others around them to reach out to them.

Also make sure to follow our monthly tip on how to love your neighbor this month by introducing yourself to your neighbor!

God bless you

Markus and Jen
