“More than once she found herself on her face pleading for grace to go on… seeking His counsel, and making sure she was on the right path – could it really be this difficult? Was it really meant to be this way? Yes, and He’d warned her it would be… and also told her He would never be far.”

Rosetta Klassy & Jason Fedelem
“It was so hard not knowing how he felt. I would get impatient and question God, asking if I was really going to marry Jason because I didn’t see God doing anything. God would always tell me, ‘Look didn’t I tell you that he is the one for you? Just trust Me. I will work things out.’”
Our Story
Wedding: September 23, 2006
Rebecca St. James & Jacob Fink
“I think there’s a real delicate balance that God calls us to when we’re single. I don’t think he calls us to put our dreams on the shelf to the level that we’re just dead to it because then we’re not being true or honest. I think God calls us to come in our vulnerability as singles to God and say ‘Lord, I long for this, I really desire to be married, but I trust you with this dream.’”
Love Is…
Wedding: April 23, 2011
Chantée Nebblett & Luke Fisher
“The months that followed brought many opportunities to trust God in a deeper way than ever before as we tried to sort out our ideas regarding relationships. Our one-on-one communication was minimal and we both developed a number of misconceptions. Through the journey of the fall and winter, I learned much about real faith, acceptance-with-joy of whatever the will of God ordains, and embracing every gift He gives- including loss.”
