This weeks Gospel Carrier is Georg Fried(e)rich Händel. He wrote a very famous piece of music that still points people to Jesus. Be inspired!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week we were encouraged several times about how God does wonderful things through small conversations and encouragement. Some told us about moments in the past when they were encouraged and found hope through us. Often we don’t hear about the results of what small acts of kindness out of love can do, but when we do we are encouraged and reassured about how important they are. We want to encourage you, especially this Christmas season, to do small things out of love for those around you.

We hope you got inspired by Haendel and his masterpiece the Messiah. Ask God and yourself what your gifting is. When you know, start using the gift for building God’s kingdom and let Jesus guide you in how.

God bless you

In Germany we have a boot tradition for December 6th. Today we want to talk about the man who it goes back to. Be encouraged.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week here in San Francisco. A table is so much better when you have people around it and that is exactly what we did on Thanksgiving Day.  We hosted a traditional Thanksgiving meal and had neighbors sit together with us around our table. We had a wonderful time together and it gave everyone there a feeling of family. We are so thankful that our new apartment can host a big dining table and more important than that people that can sit around it. We want to encourage you to start thinking about Christmas and who, of the people who live around you, you want to invite to sit around your table!

And 2 more things at the end about the video: Ask yourself who has a need for help and then help them in a way that they don’t know who did it! Stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves.

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
