When Paul talks about the Philippians, he often talks about the joy he gets from them. Be encouraged through this video!

Hi our friend

How was your week?

We had a good week here in San Francisco. The summer fully arrived with Tshirt weather which is awesome! That also enables us to be even more outside and are able to connect in a natural way. And when you are outside you start thinking about people and maybe think or see little things you can do for them. As an example last week we were able to welcome back a neighbor from a longer trip with a card and a small gift and it brought so much joy to him. Another neighbor we saw working with some boxes and I got to help him with that small moving project and he felt as well so blessed. Little things done with love make such a difference in peoples lives and the great thing is we can all do that!! We want to encourage you to go for a walk on your block and think of your neighbors and then do something small for them this week. You will brighten up their day!

Also dont forget to send time to read through Philippians and get inspired!

God bless you

After the Judges in Israel the 2 books of Samuel introduce us to the first 2 kings of Israel. We will find out how different they were. We want to give you a little introduction into those books with this video blog so when you read them you have hopefully a better understanding.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!! Jen, Caleb and I had a good week here in SF. We enjoyed some sunny days here!! During that wonderful weather we were able to connect with multiple neighbors and leaders in the neighborhood and could encourage and inspire them. On Saturday we had a prayer walk together with others in our church here in North Beach. It is so important to pray for the place we live. When you prayer walk you actually get to pray for the things you see and also the things god puts on your heart for your community. As an example, It might be praying for community and against loneliness and isolation, pray that people find Jesus, pray for business owners and their businesses. Try it out this week. If you have questions on how feel free to email us and we can help you get started!!

Also lets ask ourselves the question along with the video topic above where we stand in life. Are we more like a Saul or a David? After we got more clarity on that, lets ask God to help us become more like David.

God bless you

I love the book of Ruth. Its such a beautiful story of Redemption. This is a short video blog on it and I hope it and you reading it inspires you!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful summer week!!

During the last week we could again connect with many neighbors just by taking Caleb outside in his stroller. Its so easy in the summer month to get connected with others we have to just be intentional about it. This week we also set some extra time aside to pray for our neighborhood by walking our streets. God showed us during those times so many things to pray for. Plan this week a little walk around your neighborhood to pray for your community and also connect with people. You might not feel like doing it, but let me tell you its gonna be a blessing for you and your community and make a difference.

Also let God encourage you through the book of Ruth when you read it! Its a short read!!

God bless you

Today I want to share with you a few highlights out of the book of Galatians! Paul gave people direction and helped them to keep the right perspective. Be encouraged!!

Hi our friend

We hope you are doing super well!! We enjoy the sunny weather in San Francisco which is very unusual for this season. It enables us to go outside more and also take Caleb on walks. He also had his 4 month checkup this week and is doing really well which makes us really happy too.

The little things you do for others often make a big difference and often it brings a blessing back to you too. One of our neighbor friends had a operation recently and wasn’t able to go grocery shopping so we did the grocery shopping for her and she felt so blessed. But it was not just a blessing to her, no we were able to do our grocery shopping as well during those times and I could use her car to get them, that way I did not have to carry them up the hill. So you see often when you bless others you get blessed back. We want to encourage you this week to do something small for your neighbors and bless them through it!!

Also don’t forget to read the book of Galatians and through it see if you are on the right course.

God bless you

Markus and Jen
