Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

During the week I was able to connect with different ywam leaders over a dinner. It was wonderful hearing all the things God is doing all over the place. Thursday night I ended up getting sick after making it so far through the week with Jen and Caleb being sick. So on Friday I was grateful that zoom exists, that way I was able to still join our twice a year review and eval meeting. Keep us in your prayers for quick recovery from this Cold bug. Thanks!!

We hope you’ve been inspired by Alberts Story. Don’t forget to develop the giftings God has given you and use them for the kingdom.

Have a blessed week

Prophetic words become reality

Leave a reply

Today’s video is about prophetic words spoken 600 to 700 years before they became reality. You can find The bible verses to todays video in: Matthew 1.23; Isaiah 7.14;  Matthew 2.6; Micah 5. 1 or 2 depends on translation. Be encouraged.

Hello our friend

We hope you had a great week!

When you create a space where conversation can happen, it most likely will happen. We have seen that so many times with our brunches just like the one we hosted last weekend. Neighbors connected with each other in deeper conversation and leave encouraged. And neighbors help each other since they now know each other with simple tasks. This would not happen without a space where people have the opportunity to connect. We want to encourage you to think about starting a monthly neighbor brunch on a Saturday morning to bring your neighbors together!

And here’s a little encouragement form the video. Look more into the prophetic words about Jesus in the old testament and how they came to pass a long time later. Let it deepen your faith.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

I can’t believe that we are only a few days away from November and with that the holiday season is approaching quickly. First Thanksgiving, then Advent Season, then Christmas and New year. Lots of opportunities to connect with our neighbors through a holiday themed get together. The important thing is that you start planning now. I’m saying this because we just updated our calendars with the upcoming events for that season and saw how quick it filled up. Action Step: Look at your calendar this week and put down a date for some holiday themed get together!!

We hope you’ve been inspired by Rowlands Story. Remember to not give up even when you hit obstacles. And don’t forget to make prayer a regular thing in your life!

Have a blessed week

Gideon and how God affirms

Leave a reply

Today’s video is about Gideon. A man who had things confirmed by God and turned to God in times of fear. You can find his story in Judges 6-8. Be encouraged.

Hello our friend

How was your week?

Last Sunday we were invited to preach at a church in the city on loving your neighbor. It was a wonderful time and at the end I had some great conversations with some people in the church. I love when God opens the door to inspire and encourage others in loving their neighbor.

And here’s a little reminder from the video: If something is holding you back from doing the things God has for you, bring it to Him and let Him encourage, confirm, and strengthen you.

God bless you

Hi our friend

How was your week?

During the weekend our neighborhood celebrated Italian heritage weekend. We had a big parade and the school hosted a big bazar with games and different things for the children. Jen and I both helped out at different times at different stations. Events like this are a great way to bring the community together and as well to get to know people from your neighborhood. Look for events in your neighborhood and volunteer with tasks needed. If there is no need for help invite your neighbors to go together or meet new neighbors there.

We hope you’ve been inspired by Dallas Story. Ask God to show you what you still have to surrender in your life and ask him also to show you areas where you still try to get the glory. Surrender and give that all to him and let him use you in whatever way he has planned for you to be a Gospel Carrier so others can hear the good news!

Have a blessed week
