It’s a wonderful life Recap and Conclusion

Leave a reply

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

Psalm 37 experiences from a life with God

Leave a reply

Today we want to look at Psalm 37 together. I love how David gives us inside on what he learned from his life with God and how that is relevant for us too. Be encouraged!

Hi our friend

Our week in San Francisco was good even so the smoke came back since new wildfires started. Keep praying with us that they will stop. We started to prepare a online workshop on how to love your neighbor which we will host in the next few months via zoom. We will keep you posted about the date. Last Sunday was special too since we got to meet up with a cousin in the park who was on his way through the city.  Its nice to see family that way since we cant travel so easily. We actually had quite a few opportunities this week to connect face to face which is a blessing. How are you? Send us an update on your life.

Also spend some time to read over Psalm 37 and ask God to point out what he wants to share with you in it!

God bless you

Lord of the Rings Episode 2 Different people a common goal

Leave a reply

Join in on our 10 week blog series on Lord of the Rings. We will talk about different topics from it over the next few weeks. Today its about different people and a common goal! Be encouraged

Just in case you are not familiar with the story of the Lord of the rings here is a short introduction.

Hi our friend

How are you? Since we are so far away its hard to stay up to date with everyone. You are up to date with us through blog and newsletter but we would love to hear how you are doing. Drop us a quick line when you have time!!

Our week in San Francisco was a bit different. We had the fleet week in town and with that the big Italian heritage parade that went through our neighborhood. It brought many people together and brought many people to North beach. It’s a great way to invite neighbors to go to see the parade together. You can do that too, invite your neighbors to things you already do!! Our small groups we host at our house have been awesome too and a refresher for everyone who is part of it. So we are doing good here!

Remember we are not in competition with each other we have the same goal bringing people a step closer to Jesus!

Have a blessed week!!

A little while ago we watched the Lion King and found so many principals that we are writing about!

Hey our friend

We hope your week was amazing!! Wow 11 month are already over and our DTS graduated. Time flies. Pray for the students that they can keep living out all the things they learned in the school.  Jen and I are doing well and we are excited for San Francisco summer to come soon!!

Ask yourself this question: What is holding you back? Let God show you and let him set you free!!

God bless you

Be a light

Leave a reply

14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5.14-16

Recently we drove back to the city after dark. But even it was dark outside through all the lights in the city you could see perfectly. Jesus gives us an example about that that I really love in Matthew 5.14-16. Jesus compares us to a city on a hill that shines light and through that can’t be hidden.

What does he mean with that? He is talking about that we are the ones who let the light of our faith shine through everything we do. People can see in us the love of Jesus through the way we live and how we treat others and also how we share the good news. Our faith should not be a hidden thing, but it should shine all the time. It should shine in our work in our homes in our neighborhoods in our areas of our hobbies and all other areas of our life. When we shine the light of Jesus through us it attracts people and they want to know more. I saw this many times in my life, when I showed people how special they are how much more they were interested in what I had to say. They saw that I genuinely cared about them and saw through that Jesus shine through.

I believe that is true for you too!! I am sure you are bringing hope to people and shine the light of Jesus! I want to encourage you to be intentional this week to do that with people around you!! Let the light of Jesus shine through you to your neighbors at home, at work and maybe in the sport group.

Hey our friend

We hope you had an awesome week!! We had a normal week here in San Francisco with dinners small groups, meetups and many other. We also went to a workshop of a group who plants little house churches to learn about their approach on sharing the gospel. It was an encouraging time!! Jen and I also had personally a wonderful week since we had a short vaca for our anniversary which was a lot of fun. We are so thankful that God opened the door for that!

We wish you a wonderful new week and let the light of Jesus shine through you to your neighbors!

God bless you
