Christian Testimony - May 2023

Three years ago, Rubie and I met through Christian Cafe.

It initially began as a simple correspondence, with neither of us interested in a long-distance relationship. I'm from the United States and she's from the Philippines.

But over the course of three months we grew into close friends. Unfortunately, our relationship began during the height of the pandemic. The borders to the Philippines were closed.

For the next two years, we talked to each other twice a day over video calls. And while it wasn't an ideal way to have a relationship, we made it work. We'd spend time doing devotionals, ate lunch together, played games, and had movie dates.

When the time arrived for the borders to open, I quickly booked a flight to the Philippines. I stayed for three weeks in Rubie's country and together we spent time exploring and enjoying its beauty while I got to know her friends and family.

The final few days were some of the most difficult either of us had ever had. With tears in our eyes, we said our goodbyes at the airport and parted ways for the time being.

Yet even though we were sad, we knew it wasn't the end.

We had already agreed to approach this relationship with the intention of marriage and our time together as a family affirmed this goal. Upon my return home, we began making preparations for our wedding.

It wasn't without its challenges and some days felt longer than others, but the next year passed by faster than either of us expected.

In May of 2023, Rubie and I tied the knot on our three-year anniversary.

We've been through a lot together. Successes and failures. Miracles and tragedies. Laughter and tears. And we're both grateful to our Lord that He brought us together to share all these moments.

We never would've met without His hand guiding our lives and bringing us patience, comfort, and joy.

We're eager to see what our Lord has planned for our new life together and we will continue to put our trust in His goodness.

For Love around the World! From Germany to the US for Love.

Thank you for the great work that you are doing every day. God has used your platform to bring my husband and me together!

Like many other professional women, I realized that I have succeeded in many ways, except in finding the love of my life.

We know from the Bible that God so loved the world that he gave... How great is our God! He didn't just give grudgingly he gave exceedingly, abundantly above all we could have ever thought, asked, or imagined.

My husband is not just a spouse, but the perfect match for me. He truly and honestly is the man of my dreams and the love of my life - Prince Charming couldn't beat him. And as he always says: "I love you beautiful. This is it; this is for life until death doth we part."

God knew we were looking for somebody exceptional and that we are not easily satisfied. Good as He is, He understood, and He provided.

Although it was all very crazy, and I had to leave everything behind - including a brand-new house in Germany - we decided to say "Yes, I will" and got married.

We are very happy together and still marvel at how God put a former American Marine and Assistant Vice President of Citibank, and a German book writer, teacher, human rights activist, and social scientist together in the most unbelievable way.

The story is so remarkable that I decided to write the book Finding Love After 30. Get Ready for the Man God has for You. The book became a threefold Amazon Bestseller, is also available at Brans & Noble, and has inspired people in six different countries to partner up with God in their search to find their perfect match. If you want to find your perfect match, you need God for assistance!
