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

Psalm 37 experiences from a life with God

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

Being a child of God Part 7

Most of us heard it said many times that we are children of God. In the last few weeks, we looked at some character trades of children and how they are important for us in living as a child of God. We hope the series encouraged and inspired you. Today will be the last blog on this topic. Enjoy!

Hi our friend

We hope you had an awesome week!!

Our week in San Francisco was very interesting. Cause of the warm weather we had thunder and lightning last weekend which let to wildfires all around North of California. Many people were affected by it and had to be evacuated. Please pray for a quick end to the fires since they are still going strong. It didn’t affect us in the fire sense but it affected us through not being able to go outside because of a covering of smoke. With that said pray for people that have health conditions related to breathing.

Besides the fires we had a good week with all the usual things and a online meeting with all the bay area ministries and also Jen helped out at a womens online conference with participants from the whole world. Its wonderful to see how God is using this season to connect people through online ways that would otherwise never connect. Even things might be challenging in this season, keep your eyes on God and be encouraged by all the amazing things He is doing!!

Look at God and imitate what he does and let him transform you with his love!! Live your life fully as a child of your loving father!!

God bless you

Hi our friend

What was the highlight of your week?

Ours here in sf was the real summer temperatures. Its so beautiful. That enabled us to eat with neighbors in the park with a distance. It was a real blessing. Everyone needs people right now in this season. Loneliness and isolation is a reality for more and more people. We want to encourage you to reach out to your neighbors and connect with them. Even a short conversation every few days will make a huge difference. Pick up your phone or talk across the fence! Loving our neighbor is more important than ever in this season!!

Let God bless you with childlike joy!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you are doing super well!!

Our week here was good. We got to connect with different people in the neighborhood through social distance prayer, picnics, walks, etc. and it was wonderful. We also want to encourage you to stay in touch with your neighbors in this season in a creative way.  We also had a wonderful meeting online with YWAM international which was really special. The speaker zoomed-in from Australia at 1 am his time just to share with everyone. It was such a blessing. How are you getting spiritually filled in this season? Jen and I are also doing good. We started a new puzzle this week  which shows the whole world. So exciting!!

And as mentioned in our video blog, let God help you to forgive quickly and repent and ask for forgiveness quickly too like a child!

God bless you
