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!!
Our tip for this month is to research the history of your neighborhood! Watch the video with some tips on that!
Hi our friend

One of the things we will start doing in February is having a monthly love your neighbor conversation. We will talk each month with each other on zoom about how we can love our neighbor better and talk about challenges we face in that and how we can overcome them. Stay tuned for details!!
On that note don’t forget to do this month’s love your neighbor tip and research the history of your neighborhood! If you haven’t, watch the video with some tips! It will help you to understand your neighborhood a lot better!

The letter Paul wrote to Timothy are so full of good things to learn. I could only put a few of them into this video so be inspired by this short intro into these letters.
Our story today is about Paul and Silas and how they didn’t give up, even with big challenges, in bringing the gospel to the Thessalonians. Be inspired!!
The book of Ezra starts of with how Ezra (a priest) leaves the land, that held them captive, together with 50000 people from Israel to go back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. His mission was that, but even more so to bring the people back to God. Be encouraged through this video intro into the book and then afterwards through reading it! May the book of Ezra inspire you to help people find their way back to God!
