Redemption part 36: The High society gets to hear

Today we talk about how the high society gets to hear the good news. You can read this part of the story in Acts 23.32-26.30 Be encouraged and inspired

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Our housewarming/ birthday party was amazing. We ended up having 40-60 people (we stopped counting after a while) and it sounded that everyone had a wonderful time. Pretty much every spot in the apartment was full of people and the room was filled with conversation. We had our neighbor friends, friends from church and from YWAM. The greatest thing was that people who never met each other, connected and ended up in wonderful conversations. Events don’t have to be this big for people to connect we have seen the same with brunches, game nights and dinners. But we want to encourage you to think about how you can provide a place for people to meet and build community.

Don’t forget to pray for the Leaders of our Society!!

God bless you

Redemption part 35: Cities and Detours

Today we talk about cities and detours. You can read this part of the story in Acts 21.26-23.31 Be encouraged and inspired

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Last Saturday we were able to be at the house of prayer. A while ago a couple felt led from God to start a prayer house in San Francisco. The prayer times are at different locations in the city like at a gym or at different churches. For the prayer times believers from different churches and ministries come together to pray for the city and spend time in Gods presence. It is so encouraging and powerful to do that together. I don’t know if you have something like this in your area but if you do we want to encourage you to go and join. If not maybe God is calling you to start something similar like that.

Also don’t forget to ask yourself those questions from the video: Is God calling you to the city to bring his love? Are we willing to lay down our own way to follow Gods way to get to the place he called us to and are we keeping our eyes on him when the enemy tries to derail us?

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week was a lot of fun since we got to spend lots of time with different people.  We had a surprise visitor from Lancaster which was wonderful and also 2 visitors from Kentucky. It was an encouraging time with both of them to chat about loving our communities and catching up on life. Our friends from Kentucky also brought us a copy of their brand-new book, its all about having a heart of hospitality. Its called “of roots and Branches: A field guide for practicing hospitality. You can find it on amazon if you are interested!

Outside of that just by being outside Jen and I were both able to connect with people. Again we want to encourage you to just walk around outside in your neighborhood and connect with neighbors it’s a lot of fun!!

Don’t forget to ask yourself those questions from the video: Ask God for the people that are forgotten in the world and ask him to send you to them! Ask God for strength to carry out your calling till the end with all sacrifices needed!

God bless you

Read about the journey in Acts 15.36-18.22

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

I finally started to feel better which I am so thankful for! Cause of that we were able to have a small bbq with a neighbor and also got to connect with our small group in person. It felt good to connect with others again. We also were able to join the memorial online of Paps  in Jamaica. It was so encouraging to hear from so many people about his life and what God can do if we fully follow and trust him! I added the video of it if you want to watch it.

Don’t forget to ask yourself those questions from the video: Ask God in an unjust situation how he wants to bring good out of it? How can you share the good news with people in a way that they will understand?

God bless you

I was hoping to be healthy again this week but it was not to be. I ended up seeing a doctor who prescribed me a medicine to get better. Keep me in your prayers since Jesus is still the best Physician. Even with being in bed I was able to get some things done including putting our 21 day love your neighbor challenge online.
