Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had a wonderful week. While waiting outside I got into a conversation with a young man right where we live. He kind of looked lost so I just started talking to him. During our conversation I was able to encourage him and also pray for him. The opportunity opened up because of God making me aware of my surroundings. I could have easily missed it by just using the wait time to check my phone but because I didn’t, I was able to notice this young man. I want to encourage you through this situation to ask God to help you be aware of your surroundings.

We also want to encourage you along with the video and us to always have a learning heart. Also don’t forget to show his love to people. Don’t get discouraged if they don’t follow Jesus right away. Remember Nicodemus took a long time with this decision, till the time when Jesus was at the cross.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Last Sunday I got to see an old friend that I haven’t seen for over 10 years since he lives in another country. I met him many years ago through a friend of his. At the time he came to the Bay Area to study and work as an intern. Going to a new place and culture is never easy and finding a connection in an area that deals with loneliness and isolation in big ways doesn’t make it easier. But through that connection through his friend who knew me and YWAM, he came by and we got to hang out. It was a blessing to me and him to have made a new friend and a blessing to him to be connected to others as well who also lived in a different country. And now 14 years later, we both are married and have children and we got to have dinner together during a layover they had in San Francisco. Friends are a blessing and often times you find them when you invite a stranger into your life who then becomes a friend! Or like the poet William Butler Yeats said: There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t met! Who might be the stranger in your life who is just a step away from being your friend?

Also remember the topci of the video above and let us all ask God to help us that we see people the way he sees them and as well that he will reveal the things in our lives that need repentance.

God bless you

This week we are looking at 2 people that were diligent in seeking after God through prayer and fasting and in their relationship with him.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!! Ours was good here. In this last season I started to help out with emails at the finance office at YWAM here in San Francisco. The team really needed help and i told them that i can help for a few hours a week in whichever way they need help. Even its only in a limited capacity I really enjoy helping out. But what really encourages me too is that God is using a gifting he has given me to help in an area of need. I want to encourage you to ask God to open doors for you to use giftings he gave you to build His Kingdom.

Also Remember to pray for Redemption for people in your life and your nation. Also spend some time to think about the cost of Redemption.

God bless you
