Christian Testimony - May 2006

 Happily united because of ChristianCafe.com!  

Cory and Liesa hit it off instantly

Cory and Liesa were engaged in beautiful Banff

I honestly didn't think I would ever be one of these people writing this testimonial letter, but here I am very happily putting into words my story about how your website helped me to find the woman of my dreams.

We came from opposite ends of the spectrum on our experiences on ChristianCafe.com. I had my profile on the site for quite some time, going out with some people, but never really finding that connection. Liesa, on the other hand, was on the site a total of around a week. I was the first person she wrote to, and the only one she actually met in person.

I joined the site, willingly looking for someone not afraid to take the chance. Liesa only joined (extremely begrudgingly mind you!) because a very persistent friend wouldn't take No for an answer, and even filled much of Liesa's profile in for her (what a great friend!). This same friend, who happens to be happily married, even went home that night and scanned the profiles for hours, found me, and insisted that Liesa write me. The rest, as they say, is history.

After exchanging messages back and forth for a week or so, we exchanged phone numbers. After about a week of phone conversations, we decided to meet. Happily, we both live in the same city (Saskatoon), so that made things much easier. We hit it off instantly. Even though she is quite a shy person, on our very first date we sat and talked for over 9 hours! The wonders of "chemistry". Since then, we've spent just about every waking minute together.

And in fact, just under four short months later, we decided that we didn't want to spend any more time apart again. I asked Liesa to marry me in Banff and she very quickly said "Yes". The wedding is this coming August 20th, just 8 months less a day from our first "in person" meeting. It is true what they say though, when you know, you just know!

I will spare you from all the details and little 'coincidences' we've experienced in getting to know each other, but I will say that we both feel enormously blessed in this relationship. We very much feel that God orchestrated us meeting, and ChristianCafe.com was a tool He used to bring us together.

Thank you Soooo much for your service, Liesa and I are eternally grateful.

 I have never been happier.  

I met my fiance on ChristianCafe.com.

We began talking online in October 2005, met in November, and were engaged by mid-January. Our wedding will be at the end of this October.

Thank you and blessings to you all!

 ChristianCafe.com really works!  

I went on ChristianCafe.com very skeptical about Internet dating. I knew a pastor friend of mine who after losing his wife met and married someone he met on ChristianCafe.com. Finding myself in the same situation, losing my husband of 28 years to a sudden accident, after a period of time I went on to see if there was anyone as lonely as I was.

The last few days of the trial period I started talking to someone in another State. I signed up for another month, and a month later we met in person. He is a wonderful man and I love him deeply. I never thought I would be fortunate enough to find love again in my lifetime.

He proposed to me on Valentines Day and I accepted. We are being married in the fall in Hawaii.

So to all those who have heard all the negatives about Internet dating, here is a testimony of two people who are glad there was a site like ChristianCafe.com.

 We're Married!  

My husband and I met on ChristianCafe.com about 4 1/2 years ago. About a year later we were engaged, and we married in April 2004.

We've been married over 2 years now, and are very happy. It has taken some adjusting of course! He was 42 and had never been married, I was 43 with two teenagers and had been single for 9 years. We are so blessed to have each other, and are so thankful the Lord allowed us to meet on your website. I thank God every day for our new lives together!

 More than a dating site.  

Recently I joined Christian Cafe. I slowly began to talk to different people, thinking I might find someone for companionship. I didn't really have a desire to do this at first, but it felt right.

I enjoyed all the messages and birthday greetings, and talking about the Lord and what He was doing in my life. I really didn't grasp at first the real reason that I had been sent to this website. Like most everyone else I just felt like I needed companionship, and maybe a word of confidence from a fellow believer. Just as it always seems to happen when the Lord is involved a much larger picture began to unfold.

I began talking to a woman in North Carolina, and though I had purposed in my heart that she was too far away for any kind of relationship, somehow I felt drawn to go there. The church that I attend at home has a wonderful group of believers, but I felt as if there was more that I needed. I trust the Lord always has my best interest at heart so I planned to go to North Carolina for a visit. I had been praying for the Lord to show me more of His plan and purpose for me, and I felt somehow this was a part of it.

I didn't really know what to expect, but I trusted the Lord. When I arrived, I met Cathy and we spent some time talking and getting to know each other and worshipping the Lord. She had made arrangements for me to stay with a couple she knew. I had no reservations about staying with people I didn't know because the Lord told me that they were good people. Sandy and Bill and their son William welcomed me into their home, and I could feel the Holy Spirit of the Lord was there. Many questions were asked but the most important one I didn't have an answer to. Why has the Lord brought me here?

We attended worship services several times while I was there, all having the Spirit of the Lord present. One particular night we had a dinner and worship planned but the plans got changed. Much to our surprise we discovered later that the Lord had a greater need for us at a different place and time. I have always known that the Lord always has a flawless plan laid before us, we just have to be willing to obey Him. The Lord let me witness this several times during my stay. What a revelation to see Him work. Cathy is quite a warrior for the Lord, taking no credit for anything, as none of us can.

Easter morning service was wonderful. What a message the man of God delivered, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Thank you Father for a memorable service. I still felt like I didn't have the answer I was looking for. Yes I was very pleased with Cathy, getting to meet her, but we both felt like there was a higher calling for this visit. We attended a smaller service that afternoon with another blessing from the Lord. After the service I felt the "need" to be prophesied over. This was a new experience for me, but I had read about it in God's Word and knew it was a gift of the Spirit. I began to understand what the Lord's purpose for me was and the reason for my visit here. Thank you Lord for the patience to wait upon You. Cathy and I both agree that the Cafe played a major part in our new relationship, as we began to see how the Lord caused this to come about. We would like to thank this website and encourage others to be open to what the Lord has for them. It might be a whole lot more than just a companion or even a mate.

 Michael and I have definitely made a connection! We were married on January 3rd of 2006.  

I have met many friends, but I really enjoyed coming to chat and I will miss ya'll. As for me and Michael, God brought us together, we are a perfect match. Meeting online is a different way to meet, and it's been a long hard road falling in love with someone in a different country. We spent many hours on the Internet, with web cam and mic, and finally met in person after 3 months.

We already knew we were going to marry, but we had to met in person first to make it final and do it legal, and we did in January.

Many say we married very fast, but God's timing online is much different from regular timing. We believe God does pre-arrange marriages and sets people up, God did for Mary and Joseph, and He did for us.

Thank ya'll so much for everything, and may God bless your ChristianCafe.com ministry.

 Please delete my profile.  

Through Christian Cafe I have found my mate, my love and my future life partner.

You guys are doing a great job and a great service for Christians all around the world, who are looking for others like them.

 Thank you for a wonderful site and for your hard work. It's the best Christian singles Internet site I have been on.  

It's very helpful to know whether or not your correspondents have read your mail and when your friends were last online. Also, the birthday greetings are a good way of making initial contact, and there were plenty of people to "talk" to.

You have made being single an easier experience by creating an online community of people from all over the world. Corresponding with them has been very enjoyable. God bless.

 ChristianCafe.com has been overly kind to me because the Cafe gave me so much opportunity to be acquainted with people I found interesting.  

Thank You! It has been a year since I posted my profile on the Cafe. Since then I have met a lot of people who eventually became my friends. Though we have not met personally, I know that we are connected because there is one reason that binds us together, Jesus Christ.

I realized that there are so many single men and women who continue to search for the right person to spend their lives with, and I knew I was one of them. The Cafe has opened doors for me to seek out for someone to possibly build a relationship with. However, I also came to a point when I wanted to give up and decide that online dating only leaves me frustrated and hurting.

It was at this time the Lord gave me someone who would change this view. Love definitely comes in the most unexpected places, or circumstances. I met someone from the Cafe who is so wonderful and special that we are now praying together and looking forward to meeting soon. Today I am going to leave the Cafe because I want to focus my attention to him, because I want to say I found him, because we both want to to discern God's will for us.

God knows the desires of our hearts, and that right now I am fervently praying for him. Now that we have expressed our feelings and love to each other and are confident that we want to establish a special and lasting relationship, we hope that the Lord will grant us to be together, soon. I hope to post a picture of us together in the future!

Thank you Christian Cafe for allowing me to use your service. I will pray that the Lord continue to make the Cafe a channel for meeting lives and creating lives together. Thank you and more power!

 We hope other single people out there try ChristianCafe.com to meet new people and, as in our case, your soul mate.  

Nicole and I met in the Cafe and after two messages we decided to meet for dinner on March 29, 2006. Well it extremely went well. Three weeks later on April 17th 2006, Easter Monday, I proposed and she said "Yes"!

We are planning to get married on August 12, 2006. Every day since that first meeting has been the happiest day of our lives.
