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!!

Its summertime so the tip for this month is to go outside and Connect with neighbors while doing sports or gardening to name just 2 things! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

How are you?

This part of the year is such a wonderful time in San Francisco. The sun is out but it is not too hot but just right. We love it! Cause of the weather we were able to take Caleb outside on a few walks which he really enjoyed and through that more neighbors could see him. Its amazing seeing how much joy he brings to everyone that sees him.

We also finished up the work to be able to launch the Love Your Neighbor online community before we had the workshop last Friday. We are excited to see how it will help people to connect and exchange ideas with each other and encourage each other to love their neighbor together! If you are interested to join send us an email and we will email you a link to sign up! We have a weekly tip on how and also have a zoom call to connect on that topic for everyone who is interested. The love your neighbor workshop was also wonderful. We had 27 people that joined and felt encouraged. Thank you God. What a great week.

And in the theme of loving your neighbor, don’t forget this month to go outside and connect with a neighbor while gardening, doing sports, or other things!

God bless you

Markus and Jen
