How would you feel if you let down your best friend in a moment he really needed you? But what if that best friend forgives you and reinstates you and lets you still be part of his plans? This is the story we talk about today. You find it in John 21:15-19

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Ours was full of wonderful times with people. Since we had some wonderful weather all of us got to go outside more and connect with neighbors. Its amazing how many wonderful conversations you can have by just walking around the block 3 or 4 times. Its so simple. We want to encourage you to do that in your neighborhood too!

Also along with the video blog we want to encourage you that you are not disqualified and that Jesus wants you to be part in building the kingdom.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

If good Friday would have been the end of the story it would have been a very sad ending. But today we hear about that it was not the end! Let it bring you hope and joy like it brought the ones that encountered Jesus after he rose. You can read about it in John 20

Hi our friend

First of all, we wish you a blessed and happy Easter. He is risen!! We hope you get to or got to celebrate the good news of the resurrection with friends and family! We also want to encourage you to spend some time thinking about the good news of Jesus rising from the dead. Think about what that means for you and your life. And then make sure to share the good news with someone who hasn’t heard yet!!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

Do you know how loved you are? Watch todays video and let the love of Jesus speak to you. You can read about it in Mark 4:32-42, Luke 23:33-49 and Mark 15:22-41

Hi our friend

How are you?

Our week was great in San Francisco as well as in at the conference in Colorado. I felt so encouraged and inspired by the different people who shared at the conference, as well by our conversations sitting and brainstorming together around the table. I got to hear so many things of how God is moving in different places, including in my homeland Germany. If you want to hear more about it message me. I also got to see my god son and his family and also Mikel and his family. While I was gone Jen got to meet up with different mom friends in the neighborhood and Caleb could play with his friends.

There is no greater love then the love of Jesus. Spend some time this week to think about the love he showed you and each one of us by going to the cross.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

Jesus did a lot of things different then people expected him to do. He showed a different way, a way to inspire us too to live different. You can read about it in Matthew 21:1-10 and John 13: 5-17

Hi our friend

How are you? I hope you had a wonderful week!!

We had a great week here in San Francisco. On Friday we had our twice a year evaluation time which was super encouraging. It was so good to get input from others as well as spending time together. Those times are wonderful for the ones who evaluate and the ones who get evaluated.  On Saturday I (Markus) left for a conference in Colorado and together with that I am also able to see my god son and my friends that live close to there. I’m super excited!

Dont forget this coming week to Imagine what would happen if we all live the different way Jesus taught us. What would that show to the world? Let us all start with it even if it is in a small way.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

Nothing stands in the way of Jesus not even death. Today we are looking at 2 situations in which Jesus brought 2 people back to life. You can read about them in Luke 7:11-17 and Mark 5:21-24, 35-43

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had a wonderful week. Our week has been good here. We are still unpacking some more boxes but most of it is unpacked and put away. We were able to have our first guests over too to our new apartment, which was wonderful. We are looking forward to many more to come and visit! Hospitality is such a great way to get to know people and also build community. If you haven’t done it for a while make sure to make it a part of your life again. If you have never done it before, try it out with simply having someone over for a coffee and be blessed by the time.

We also want to encourage you to be Jesus hand and feet to people around you. See what they need and ask Jesus how and if he wants to use you to be the answer.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb
