It’s a wonderful life Recap and Conclusion

Today we are at the end of our series with a recap and Conclusion. We hope you got encouraged!

P.s. I made a mistake when making this series and called George Jimmy. So sorry about that.

Hi our friend

Christmas is approaching fast!! Have you thought of inviting a neighbor to your family celebration!

Our week went well here. We finished getting ready for the love your neighbor workshop on Saturday. The workshop was a lot of fun for us and we had a wonderful group of participants. We are excited to see how God will move through each of the participants in loving their neighbor. 2020 has been such a different year but it’s exciting to see how doors opened that would have not been possible a while ago, like having people at a workshop from different states without travel. What was something in 2020 that you could do now but could never do before?

Watch the movie one more time in this Christmas season and be inspired!

God bless you

Hi our friend

How did you celebrate first of Advent ? We hope it was a wonderful start into this season for you!

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well even if looked different this year. Our virtual one here was fun. We still made the full meal and then packed it in to-go boxes and neighbors could pick it up at our door and then meet us on a video call. The season we are in didn’t stop community! Think that way for Christmas too and how you can involve your neighbors in it!! The rest of our week was wonderful too!! Please pray with us for the upcoming love your neighbor workshop on December 5th that everyone comes that is supposed to be there.

Dont forget to let your community help you and you helping your community!

God bless you

Thankfulness a weapon against unbelief

I believe, help me in my unbelief Mark 9.24

This weeks topic is about our theme of the year. This month’s we are talking very fittingly with Thanksgiving about thankfulness and how it can help overcome unbelief

Hi our friend

Happy thanksgiving friend!!

We had a great week in San Francisco. We worked more on prepration for the love your neighbor workshop on December 5th. Join us and its easy since it is on zoom! Just email us for the detailts! We are excited. We also started to plan for thanksgiving. Usually we would have a big table with many guests in our apartment, but this year we will have a virtual thanksgiving meal. Since we cant meet up in person with people we will cook a turkey and the sides and then pack it in to go boxes and our guests can pick it up at our door and then we all meet up virtually. So if you try to figure out how to connect with family and neighbors over thanksgiving or christmas with the lockdowns, this is a way.

Also a little challegne for this week, find every morning and evening 5 things that you are thankful for to God and speak them out loud. Speak them especially into the direction of your unbelief!!

God bless you
