In this blog series we want to show you that it is actually really easy to make an impact where you live. We hope you start to see that more by reading this series!

Last week we were writing about how in order to have healthy relationships, we can’t hold a grudge. But to go even a step further in that, we need to love unconditionally. Let me give you an example: If you do something for a neighbor, don’t expect anything in return. If a neighbor has a bad attitude against you, instead of having a bad attitude back to them, keep loving on them.

When you look at the life of Jesus, you see many times how he loved people with an unconditional love. Imagine Judas, this man was about to betray him and Jesus knew it, but he still treated him like all his other disciples. So how can we do that?

Start with what we were talking about last week, never hold a grudge. When you get into situations think first before you react. React out of love instead the emotion of the moment.

Unconditional means not putting conditions on loving people.

So lets show even more love to neighbors and people in our life.

1. Start assessing areas where you had a hard time loving.
2. Ask God to give you love especially for those areas
3. Go the extra mile, by loving people well. Like Jesus said if someone forces you to walk one mile, walk two with them! (Matthew5.41)

Hey our friend

We hope you had a great week. A few weeks ago I (Markus) was asked to join the financial oversight team for YWAM San Francisco. Helping out in that means to go to 3 board meetings a year and read from time to time through financial reports and voice any concern. Pray for wisdom and understanding for me in this new responsibility.

All the work in the neighborhood is going well as well. Join us in praying for every person in that area to experience the love of God in such a real way.

First of all thank you to all who support us in our work here! You are a huge blessing to us! May god bless you richly!

Here a request! To do the work we are doing we depend 100% on support. Over the last few months we lost about $287 in monthly support through changes of circumstances in peoples lives. So at this point we need about $1560 more in monthly support to be fully funded. We want to ask for your help in sharing with people you know that have a heart for missions and would be interested in joining our support team. Of course if you are not a part of it you are welcome to join as well! When you click on this link you find out more how to do that. Thank you for all your help in this area.

Love this week nieghbors like never before!

Have a blessed week

Markus and Jen

P.s. A few years ago I made a video on how to love people better. Maybe it can give you some helpful tips!
