Hey our friend

Wow we can’t believe it how fast our time in Germany went by. We got back Saturday and start back in San Francisco today. We were so blessed by seeing family, friends and supporter. It was also amazing to see how God encouraged people during our visit and or different speaking times. God is amazing. Please pray for us this week as we start going back to ministry in the city. Thank you so much!

Experience vs. Knowledge

In today’s time it is really important for us as Christians to have knowledge and experience. As an example if you have a car and you know everything that it can do or all the features it has that doesn’t make you a good driver. But you still need the knowledge since otherwise you might sell the car some day and realize that it had many features that you didn’t know about. But you become a good driver by driving the car and experiencing through that how it handles and works. To get more knowledge of God we can read our bible and study different books about who He is, but that only means that we have knowledge of Him. To really know Him you need to experience Him and spend one and one time with Him. This translates also into ministry. To be able to share our faith with others we need to learn how to do it. You can take a class, talk to your pastor, or the best way let the Holy Spirit teach you. But then you still need experience, and that only comes by doing it. If you look at Jesus and His ministry you see the same principle. He gave the disciples knowledge but then he got them into action. Go and share your faith with your friends and coworkers since you have something special that can change their lives forever.

Have a blessed week and know that you are loved
