How are you?
We hope you had a fantastic week. We are speaking at a retreat in Seattle that’s why there is no recent update for this week, but enjoy our video topic for this week: from enemy to friend!!
Don’t forget to ask God who to pray for that they can turn from enemy to friend!

Hi our friend
During the last week Jen and I had many wonderful moments here in SF. We got to practice our messages for the upcoming retreat on Friday. We are excited for this time! We also got to host a group of new YWAM friends to share about love your neighbor and encourage them in their journey of planting a new work in their town. And then we got to worship together a the Sound with other believers from different churches in the middle of Golden Gate park. What a week of so many wonderful moments. How was your week? What have you been up to?
Also remember to spend time with God in the quiet place to have your love and compassion tank refilled!

Our story today is about a man name Lazarus and him coming out. Be inspired and encouraged!
Hi our friend
How was your week?
Most mornings Jen and I both do some kind of exercise. Somedays it might be running around the block or being on the exercise bike (which we got for free from someone moving away) on our deck. By just doing that we get in touch with so many neighbors on a daily basis in a natural way. We sometimes just say hello, other times we end up in a deep conversation and other times we get to pray for someone. These opportunities open up just by us doing something good for our bodies. The great thing is you can do that too! Do something good for your body and get to know your neighbors!
Also, don’t forget to ask God for the bigger picture, mourn with the ones who mourn and pray prayers with faith to happen!!
When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us. And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!
Our tip for this month is Borrow or Barter! Watch the video with some tips on that!
Hi our friend
How are you?
We hope you had a wonderful week!! During the last week we had our annual YWAM Staff Retreat which was wonderful in so many ways. Having extra time in nature with Jesus and with our ywam family was so refreshing. It was also so great to hear updates from each ministry and also learn together. Caleb also had a wonderful time playing with all the kids. All of us came back so refreshed. What a wonderful time which went by way too fast!
Also remember that old school is hip again and builds community so borrow and barter this month with your neighbors!
