Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Last Sunday I got to see an old friend that I haven’t seen for over 10 years since he lives in another country. I met him many years ago through a friend of his. At the time he came to the Bay Area to study and work as an intern. Going to a new place and culture is never easy and finding a connection in an area that deals with loneliness and isolation in big ways doesn’t make it easier. But through that connection through his friend who knew me and YWAM, he came by and we got to hang out. It was a blessing to me and him to have made a new friend and a blessing to him to be connected to others as well who also lived in a different country. And now 14 years later, we both are married and have children and we got to have dinner together during a layover they had in San Francisco. Friends are a blessing and often times you find them when you invite a stranger into your life who then becomes a friend! Or like the poet William Butler Yeats said: There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t met! Who might be the stranger in your life who is just a step away from being your friend?

Also remember the topci of the video above and let us all ask God to help us that we see people the way he sees them and as well that he will reveal the things in our lives that need repentance.

God bless you
