Christian Testimony - November 2006

 Boy do we have a wonderful story to tell you!  

We are a couple "of a certain age" who met and married due to ChristianCafe.com. Harold, a widower, lives in lower Alabama. During the summer of 2005 he decided it was time to begin dating after the loss of his wife. He received an email from the Cafe and posted a profile. He also began dating several women who lived in the local area.

I, Brooke, lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee. One of my closest friends, who lives near Harold in Alabama, told me about the Cafe. I have owned my own business for 18 years and on August 5th, with the help of my office manager, posted my profile on the Cafe. It was time to date!

On August 6th, my office manager gave me her resignation. It was not unexpected, as she was way over qualified! Boy was I in a quandry about the future of my company, and finally decided to close it and go to work for another firm (God was preparing me for what was to come). Over the next couple of months I met several nice men through ChristianCafe.com and corresponded with them. My friend in lower Alabama suggested that I look at profiles in her area, so I did! I sent Harold a wink. Guess what, he responded! Our first correspondence was on October 16th and we continued through October 18th, then we talked on cell phones.

During this time Harold was dating a couple of women and talking on the phone with me. He began asking me when I might come down to visit my friends in lower Alabama. I told him I had a trip planned the weekend before Thanksgiving, so we planned to go to dinner then. A few days before I was to leave for lower Alabama, we spoke on the phone. I was hearing a bit of hesitation in his voice regarding taking me to dinner. He had begun a very steady dating relationship with one of the women in his area. So I asked, "Harold, I'm going to ask you one more time, are you sure that you are comfortable taking me to dinner on Saturday night?" His response was what I expected, "Oh Brooke, I feel so bad, but I just don't know how I would do it. I'd have to lie to [his date], and I don't feel right about that. I'm soooo sorry! Can we still be friends? You can never have too many friends!" Of course I said yes, and pretty much that was the end of it.

At Christmas, I drove to Houston to see my family and stay with my friends in lower Alabama. So prior to leaving on the trip I sent Harold a Merry Christmas email, telling him. By the time I got to Houston I had an email back from him stating that "things had changed" he was no longer seeing [his date], or anyone else. He also stated he'd be honored to take me out to dinner when I came back through.

Our first date was on December 28th. Wow what a date, Harold wanted me to stay through the New Year's weekend, so we could get to know each other better. Because I no longer had the responsibility of owning my own company (God is so good), I was able to change my plans and stay over. When I left on Tuesday AM for Chattanooga, I knew this was the start of something very special. We talked every day after that!

Long story short, we were married on August 12th, and we both couldn't be happier!

 I think you guys have such a great site, a great way to meet other Christians.  

Even though a lot of people do not understand online dating, I found it easier to meet and communicate with other people on your site than I did in real life. Probably, mainly, because when you read somebody's profile you already know if there's anything of what you are looking for.

I got married about 2 months ago to a guy that I had met October 23rd, 2005, on ChristianCafe.com. He was from British Columbia, and I lived in New Brunswick, so our major source of communication was the Internet.

I want to thank you for having such a site, and making it possible for people like myself to find exactly what we are looking for.

 God is awesome! He works in amazing ways.  

On March 13, 2006, I began talking to Dena, ladyraider402. I am a teacher in the Chicago area, and she lives in Texas.

On May 31st (the last day of school), I flew to Amarillo to meet her. We spent a few weeks together during this past summer and on August 10th, I asked her to marry me. We are getting married on December 23rd of this year.

I met the most amazing woman in the world on ChristianCafe.com! Lucky for me, she feels just as blessed as I do.

For those that are still searching, be patient. You will find somebody you never dreamed possible on this site! I promise!

Thank you so very much ChristianCafe.com!

 First Year Anniversary!  

I almost did not write since your webpage says you have volumes of testimonials. However, since you said it makes your jobs more worthwhile:

We began to write through ChristianCafe.com in March 2003. We just celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary in September 2006.

Neither of us doubts that God brought us together. It would be difficult to imagine a better fit than the two of us. However, I think your website makes God's job a bit easier. How much more worthwhile can a job be than to do that!

 ChristianCafe.com allowed me to meet the man God intended for me to marry.  

We met through your web site and a year later married on October 15, 2006.

I just wanted to let the staff know that we both appreciate so much the service you provide.

 New Zealand is beautiful and our marriage is beautiful.  

I lived in Colorado as a single mom of 4 kids. I went on the Cafe 4 years and 10 months ago. I was on the site maybe 2 months, maybe less, and I met a man that I fell in love with. His name is Neil. He and I talked for hours on the Internet and on the phone.

On September 9th 2002 I moved to New Zealand and brought my 2 children who were living with me at the time. Neil and I got married on the 21st of September. We have been married for 4 years and 2 months.

Thank you very much for making available to us this wonderful ministry. It has meant the world to us.

Susan {Colorado} & Neil {New Zealand} November 2006

 We are going to celebrate our first year of marriage.  

We met through ChristianCafe.com about 2 years ago. On December 23, 2004 we went to have dinner at a local restaurant, for just a couple of hours. We continued talking and sharing our minds and souls; talking about our beliefs, the Bible, etc. until 4:00am the 24th. of December 2004!

Then on the 24th. (Christmas Eve) we went to church and my family, and later to a restaurant. It was as if we were meant to be which each other. We are extremely similar.

We married on November 23, 2005. Our marriage has been wonderful.

Thanks to God, who put us together in His time and manner. Ecclesiastes 4:12 is our main scripture. "Nudo de tres no se rompe facilmente".

 We have never been happier and everyday feel like the luckiest people on earth.  

I went through a really bad divorce and was involved in a mentally and physically abusive relationship. I have two young girls and really never thought I was ever going to find a man that would treat me well and love me for the rest of my life. When all else had failed and I just wasn't finding anyone I got an email from your website. I took the chance and logged on in July 2003.

My (now) husband had logged on then too. He messaged me and then we started chatting. I lived in Arizona and he was in the Marines in San Diego.

We met in person in September 2003, we got engaged in October 2004, and we were married in May 2005.

We are a blended family; I have two daughters and my husband has 3 children.

When people ask how we met I tell them: "We met on Christian Cafe.com." They are shocked and can't believe it.

I just want to say Thank You.

 God used ChristianCafe.com to bring us together.  

Joe and I met in September 2003 on ChristianCafe.com We spoke and then decided to meet. Our first date was on October 10 of that year. I am proud (and blessed) to say that we were married on May 14, 2005. Our marriage is still going strong.
