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 to serve an organization in the neighborhood together with neighbors! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had a wonderful week! One of the fun things Jen did last week was to bake heart cookies for valentine’s day. She put them in little bags with a little note and blessed different friends on our street. It was so simple to make but was such a blessing to many people. If you read this before Valentines day maybe bake some cookies and give them to your neighbors to bless them and of course eat some of them yourself. Someone has to do the job to try them to make sure they are good 🙂

Also don’t forget to do this month love your neighbor tip together with your neighbors: Serve a local organization together. Do some research and then invite people and sign up. It will be a blessing to all the participants as well as to your community!

God bless you

Markus and Jen
