Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Our week was very admin heavy. To some admin doesn’t sound like too much fun but I really enjoy doing it from time to time.  I think it really helps to watch our attitude with how we approach things. If we go at it with an attitude of I get to do this it helps us to find joy in the midst of it and see all the good things in it vs if I go at it with I have to do this the joy is often not there. I want to encourage you to approach things that you feel you have to do with an attitude of I get to do this.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Corrie ten Boom. If there is someone in your life that you have to forgive ask god to help you. Or if you know someone that can’t forgive pray for them that they will be able to forgive and experience the healing that comes through it.

Have a blessed week

Hi our friend

We hope you are having a wonderful Advent Season. When you light the second candle for the second Advent spend some time to think about Jesus the Prince of Peace.

We had a good week in San Francisco with multiple special events. We celebrated our annual YWAM Christmas party. It was so nice spending time together with the whole YWAM Family from the bay area. Jen got honored that night for being with YWAM San Francisco for 15 years. Time goes so fast!!! Before we had our neighbor brunch on Saturday we celebrated with Caleb Nikolaus (a german tradition where you fill the shoes of the child with fruit candy and a toy) and he was so happy finding the gifts in his shoe. We also told him in the days leading up the story of Saint Nicholas (I made a video about him last year its under this link if you want to hear more). Our neighbor brunch was also wonderful as well. We always get into so many good conversations.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier John Flynn. Is God calling you to an isolated Community in your country? If ask him how you can meet a practical need there, become a true friend and share the good news with them!!

Have a blessed week

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

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
