Our story began when we both trusted God’s extraordinary promise and took a step of faith by joining Christian Mingle, an unexpected path that surpassed our own plans. Upon reading each other’s profiles, we discovered a deep connection rooted in shared values and a mutual desire to center our relationship on Christ. Prompted by the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit from the start, we look back with gratitude, knowing God led every step of our story.
