Started off as friends but look at Keith and Karina now!
What a wonderful collage of love!
A miraculous match!
We met on Christian Cafe in the fall of 2024, after years of my being on the Cafe.
So we want to share a testimony of God's faithfulness and to encourage others.
I am from Indiana and she was in Pennsylvania (originally from NY). Yet, we were only looking for..., lol, "pen-pals" at the time...since neither one of us had a picture posted at the time.
Seriously.
But quickly, we could see that there was a spark that led us to becoming more than pen-pals, and it wasn't long at all that we felt we were meant for each other...and wow, I moved to Pennsylvania and we married on January 25, 2025!
So this marriage is nothing short of miraculous and has been a testimony of God's goodness, because like I said neither one of us started talking to each other with the expectation that it would be more than pen-pals since we both were just willing to make friends and connect with others to share our faith and ministry experiences and endeavours.
For those who are discouraged and believe you will never find the right person, as I have always said, even going back to some of my forum posts as far back as 2015, ten years ago, that if you surrender to God's will for your life, to allow Him to pick the person and bring them to you---and have faith!---He will do it!
It just take patience, as we are told in Hebrews:
[b]Hebrews 6:11-12 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.[/b]
So don't be discouraged. Just remember that God often saves His best wine for last! Amen!
And thank you Christian Cafe for helping to make this possible. Your ministry does make a difference!

I was on Christian Cafe for February and March of 2024 and a wonderful, godly man contacted me.
We were married last summer!
Thank you for offering a safe place to meet fellow believers who are truly committed to the Lord and serving Him daily.

It is a bit intimidating to venture out into online dating, but the free trial makes it possible to get somewhat of an idea of the way it works.
Thanks much for the opportunities, though still a bit hesitant!
