In this blog series we want to show you that it is actually really easy to make an impact where you live. We hope you start to see that more by reading this series!
A few weeks ago I read this statement on the Facebook of a friend of mine:
“In one year I did USA for Africa, I played the Olympics, I won a Grammy and all together I played for over a billion and a half people. Finally, after all these years, I had reached the top of the mountain. And you know what’s at the top? Nothing. All you had were the experiences it took to get there. There’s nothing at the top.” -Lionel Richie
How many people in today’s times feel that way? Running through life to chase money or a dream and then realize when they reach it that there was nothing. What about us? Are we living in the purpose God called us to? What do you want to leave behind when you die someday? What are you passionate about?
These are questions all of us should ask ourselves. What about you explore them together with your neighbors and friends! What about if you start helping each other to figure out those questions! I promise you doing that in community is harder, but in the same way more fruitful.
So when we explore those things together we grow closer together in our friendship and we also can help supporting each other to get to that place. When we see clearer on what we are called to do, we open the opportunity to see more about a Father who has a purpose for our life. We are able to keep inspiring each other. It could start really simple in a conversation over coffee.
- Have a coffee with one of your neighbors and share with them about your idea.
- If interest is there start talking and meet up more regularly about it.
Hey our friend
We hope you had a great week. We had a goodbye dinner for a couple that worked with us. Please keep them in your Prayers when they move back home to see clearer on what their next steps are. Please also keep praying for the YWAM San Francisco building Fundraiser November 7th. Loren Cunningham the founder of YWAM will be speaking and sharing that night. Pray for a good attendance and for the right people to come.
First of all thank you to all who support us in our work here through Prayer and finances! You are a huge blessing to us! May god bless you richly!
Here a request! To do the work we are doing we depend 100% on support. Over the last few months we lost about $287 in monthly support through changes of circumstances in peoples lives. So at this point we need about $1560 more in monthly support to be fully funded. We want to ask for your help in sharing with people you know that have a heart for missions and would be interested in joining our support team. Of course if you are not a part of it you are welcome to join as well! When you click on this link you find out more how to do that. Thank you for all your help in this area.
Start living your life to thrive and not just to survive!
Have a blessed week
Markus and Jen
