Gospel Carriers: Johann Sebastian Bach

Leave a reply

This week’s Gospel Carrier is Johann Sebastian Bach. He was gifted in music and used his gifting to bring Glory to God. His music still encourages and brings joy to people in today’s time. Be encouraged by this wonderful man of God.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week had a theme of prayer for us. Wednesday I was helping to lead a zoom prayer meeting at our church. On Saturday we had a prayer walk with YWAM across our side of the city and then Sunday I was part of a prayer team class at the church. I love the question Corrie Ten Boom asked: Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire? Let’s make sure it’s our steering wheel!!

We hope you got inspired by Bach. Ask God and yourself what your gifting is. When you know, start developing your gift and start growing in it! Use the gift for building gods kingdom and his glory not your own, like Bach said “all to Gods Glory”.

God bless you

Empty to truly filled

Todays person we talk about went from empty to totally filled in a very short time. Be encouraged.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

What a wonderful week we had here. First of all the weather was beautiful almost the whole week. Second I love how when you build and live community you get invited to things from friends in your community. This week we had invitations for dinner, a fundraiser and a wedding. Having community is a blessing. Think about how you can start community where you are!! If you need some tips on how, follow love your neighbor on Instagram  or Facebook

And 2 more things at the end about the video: Where do you set your hope to fill an emptiness in your life, often subconsciously? Ask Jesus to come into this place and let him truly fill you!

This weeks Gospel Carrier is St Ignatius of Loyola. An amazing man whos retreats are still done today. Be encouraged.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week I got to share at a YWAM Event with a panel of others on zoom about neighborhoods. We all shared on the places we live and how special and unique they are and talked about challenges our neighborhoods face and how we can help in those areas as believers. One thing that stuck out with all of the panelist was that following the great commandment in loving our neighbors makes a difference wherever we are. We want to encourage you that loving your neighbor also makes a difference in the area where you live. Start with it or keep doing it!!

We hope you got inspired by the video. Lets ask ourselves the question: Are we willing to lay down our dreams and life to follow Jesus to build his kingdom?

God bless you

Fill the table

Leave a reply

This week it’s about a table that needs to be filled. Be challenged! P.S. the Psalm passage I was referring to is Psalm 68.6 or 7 (depending on the translation)

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Every week I am part of a prayer meeting where we come together on zoom to pray. We pray for different needs of people like health, things related to church, for our city and the leaders and worldwide things going on. It is so important for believers to come together and pray together for things going on local as well as other places. We want to encourage you to join a local prayer meeting and pray together with fellow believers in your area!

And don’t forget to think and pray this week about who is lonely in your circle and who you can invite for the Christmas season! Make a list and then invite!!

Gospel Carriers: Johannes Gutenberg

This weeks Gospel Carrier is a bit different then the ones we talked about before, he was a business man. Be inspired by his life.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Last weekend we did the 2nd part of the love your neighbor workshop with a church in the city. It was so encouraging to hear how God gave them a different perspective as well as a greater impact with the people around them since the first time we met. This is our heart to train and inspire people to love their neighbors in their neighborhood, bring hope and build genuine relationships. It also helps to bring people out of isolation that are trapped in it. If you are interested in joining one of the workshops we do either in person or over zoom, just send us an email and we will let you know when we host the next one!!

We hope you got inspired by the video. Lets ask yourself the question: How does God want to use your talents to build the kingdom?

God bless you
