Being more like Jesus through no fear of man

Leave a reply

Over the next few weeks we want to look at different characteristics of Jesus and how he lived his life. We want to learn from him and apply it to our life. This week its about not having fear of man!

Hi our friend

We hope you enjoy this beautiful spring time! Spring is an exciting season where we see things grow and we hope you are at a place where you can see that too. But may we all grow personally in this season too!!

Our week in San Francisco went well. We had a lot of virtual times with many different people which was awesome. We also got to make more love your neighbor from home tip videos. We hope you enjoy them and even more they inspire you to love your neighbors from home. This is a time to bring hope to neighbors and show that they are not alone and in return we won’t feel alone either. We are all in this together right now so lets make it count!!

Live this week more like Jesus by sharing the full gospel without fear of what people think.

God bless you

Hi our friend

How was your Easter week? We hope fantastic!!

This week our focus was all Easter related. Getting little Easter gifts together for neighbors, having an Easter themed Encouragement group, a good Friday service online with 4 other churches, an Easter Brunch, an Easter prayer time with neighbors and a few other things. With all the things going on Its important to keep our focus on Jesus and the true meaning of Easter. Jesus is the reason why we are set free and have hope and that is on our heart to share that with others. He is the reason why we do what we do. We want to encourage you and us to always evaluate everything we do if the main focus of it is Jesus!!

Live this week more like Jesus by showing love to people that you see on a daily basis.

God bless you

We hope that our Easter Blog encourages and challenges you!!

Hi our friend

First of all we want to wish you a blessed and happy Easter. May this be a time of stopping and reflecting on how loved you are!

Our week was a week full of virtual meetings. Meetings with our church, our encouragement group, a prayer group, a church small group, a meeting with ywam with 250 locations, a brunch and a double date with 2 friends. But you know what it worked. We all get to spend time together, just in front of screens. So I don’t know where you are at in life right now, but if you have to stay home you don’t have to stop to get together with people. We can still have community. Just do it!!

Get Gods love as a gift so you can give it away to others!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a good week despise all the stuff going on in the world!!

Our second week during shelter in place in the home went well. God gave us vision for many areas and gave us more ideas on how to love our neighbors during this challenging time. The videos on loving your neighbor from home had good responses and many felt inspired. We also started some new ways on meeting with people virtual. We had a virtual movie night and a virtual encouragement group. Its awesome that even in challenging times like this the simple command Jesus gave us to love our neighbor can still be done!! Join us in doing that and love your neighbor this week!! Follow our tips on Facebook (l-y-n) and on Instagram @loveyourneighborsf .

Faith and Trust grow with every step

Leave a reply

This month our trust and faith topic is on how it will grow when we start taking steps. Be encouraged!!

Hi our friend

How was your week? And especially how are you doing in this very different season?

Our week here in San Francisco looked very different than any week we had so far. Starting Tuesday we had to stay inside and could only go out for grocery shopping or daily walks. That leads to many changes in the way you can love your neighbor and neighborhood. But you know what we were still able to love people in the morning during our runs by encouraging them with 6 feet distance from each other. Or we called seniors on the phone or wrote encouraging cards. We also started an online video series on how you can love your neighbor from home #loveyourneighborfromhome with a daily tip on how to do it till the end of virus crisis. Make sure to follow us on facebook l-y-n , on Instagram @loveyourneighborsf and on YouTube Playlist Love your neighbor from home – daily tips to get those videos daily. This is the season for all of us Jesus lovers to show his love to people that are lonely and isolated through creative ways!! Lets all do it and for that build stronger neighborhoods and communities that are in love with Jesus!!

Start this week to take a step in faith to increase your trust and also to give unbelieve a smaller and smaller role in your life!! You can do it!!

God bless you
