Why is it important?

When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us.  And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!

Our tip for this month is call your neighbors for their birthday! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a good week!! We are still gone to visit Jens “Jamaican Dad”. During her growing up years her and her family did a lot of mission work in Jamaica and through that this Jamaican family became family. He also officiated parts of our wedding. He is in his 90s now and we wanted to make sure he gets to meet Caleb. We are excited for this time and what God has in store for it.

Don’t forget to find out your neighbor’s birthday and then to call them on their special day!!

God bless you

Markus and Jen
