Two Become One

20140329-181535.jpg

My parents are literally East meets West, a Chinese and an American. When they met one another in the Philippines, they were from two distinctly different cultures brought together by a common love for Jesus Christ and the desire to serve him. Now married for nearly 41 years, and still in love (more so than ever before), it is their identity in Christ — as one — that has kept them together.

While I was cleaning out old albums, I came across a published narrative of how God brought them together, and I was so blessed to read their story again. I’m hoping you will feel the same way…

“Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13-24

PETER (DAD):

As I meditated on this passage one morning in December 1971, I was confident that if I asked anything in the name of Jesus, he would do it. There was great peace in my heart as  I prayed, “Lord, allow me to meet my future wife. I am tired of dating girls and wasting time.”

20140329-180017.jpgI met Deonna in Janauary at the weekly Friday night meeting of Campus Crusade for Christ. She had arrived in the Philippines on November 21 as a member of the Crossroads, a musical team for Asia of the aforementioned Christian organization.

At that time, I never imaged that she was the Lord’s answer to my prayer. There were two incidents, however, which prompted me to become better acquainted with her. The first occurred when my younger sister, Beth, went shopping with her. Beth commented afterwards, “she is so simple and wise in her shopping.”

The other happened a week after our encounter. The Crossroads and I were having dinner together. As we were sharing our experiences with the Lord, I noticed that Deonna had a deep comprehension of life. She showed great spiritual discernment in what she was saying. I talked with her again at the next Friday night meeting. That evening, I asked her for a date on Sunday afternoon.

Our first date was a unique experience for me. My original plan was to show her some interesting places in the greater Manila area and get-to-know her at the same time. However, a few days before Sunday, a pastor-friend invited me to speak in his church on the same afternoon that I was to be with Deonna. I accepted the invitation. Not being well-acquainted with Deonna, I didn’t know what she would think about my acceptance of the speaking engagement. I hoped she would be willing to minister with me. I waited until Sunday to tell her. When I did, I was delighted because she welcomed the idea. She remarked that it is good to have a balance between being together and ministering together. That Sunday afternoon, she helped me by sharing her testimony at the church I spoke at.

This was how our relationship began. It was the type of relationship I prayed I would have with a girl. I had spent time with other girls but none of them had expressed a willingness to serve the Lord the way Deonna did. I was encouraged by the fact that we were closer to the Lord and to each other when we parted that evening.

After our first date, we committed the future of our relationship to the Lord. Although we saw each other frequently between the months of February and August, we had to be separated for a period of three and a half months. Deonna toured with the Crossroads in Indonesia and the Southern Philippines in March and April; then in July, I went to the U.S. for Campus Crusade for Christ’s Explo’ 72 and Lay Staff Training.

With the possibility of marriage in mind, Deonna and I thought it would be wise for me to visit her family while in the U.S. During the second week of my trip to the U.S., I spent four days in Florida with them. I discussed with her father what the Lord had been showing us in regards to our relationship. I left her family with the assurance that her parents would welcome our marriage if it were the Lord’s will.

My love for Deonna grew during the rest of my time in the U.S. For the first time in my life, I began to realize the meaning of Agape Love – an unconditional, unselfish love. I discovered within myself a freedom to love her without the fear of losing her or of becoming jealous. Regardless of her response to me, I knew I would still love her. I only desired the best for her.

In August, the Lord finally confirmed that he had chosen Deonna to be my wife. He did this through many Bible verses and through the love which He had placed within me for her. Knowing that Deonna was to be my wife, I was eager to see her. As soon as my responsibilities would allow me, I began my trip home.

I had to stop in Germany to attend to some business affairs. Although I originally intended to spend a few months in Germany to complete my business there, I was able to do everything in a week. Then, I immediately flew to the Philippines with the intention of asking Deonna to marry me.

Wasting no time, I proposed to Deonna on Sunday, the 27th of August, which was just one day after I returned to Manila. I did not know what the Lord had revealed to her concerning our future. I only knew that I loved her and that the Lord had showed me that Deonna was to be my wife. Trusting His promises me, I had the courage to ask her to marry me. But when I asked her, she did not answer me immediately. After a moment of silence, she said, “Peter, please get my Bible out of the car. I want to share with you what the Lord showed me concerning our relationship.”

I never expected her to respond this way! Nevertheless, I brought her Bible and “patiently” waited for thirty minutes while she read the many Bible verses God had shown her. When she finally finished, I asked, “Deonna, what is your answer?” Again, she surprised me by saying, “Peter, let’s pray.” Not knowing what to expect next, I bowed my head. At the end of her prayer to the Lord, I heard her say, “Father, before you and all of heaven I say ‘yes’ to Peter. I will be his wife.”

I opened my eyes and looked at her. I never though that the woman I would marry would say “yes” to me through a prayer to our heavenly Father. Yet, Deonna had done it! I was overjoyed as I thought, “I am looking at my wife to be. She is God’s gift to me.” I remember my prayer in December, “Lord, let me meet my future wife.” God faithfully fulfilled His promise to me…” Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do…” My heart was full of joy, praise, and thanksgiving to God for giving me such a wonderful woman.

I can honestly say, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4)

God is so good. He knows what is best for His children and when it is best to give it to us. Through this experience with Deonna, I have learned that “Faith” means to trust the Lord moment by moment, one step at a time.

 

DEONNA (MOM):

A week before leaving California for Asia, my mother entered the kitchen while I was cooking my lunch. “Deonna,” she said. “I am glad that you have chosen to obey the Lord by going to Asia to minster there as a member of the Crossroads.” Then I observed tears welling up in her eyes as she continued, “But honey, you are already 25. When will you get married?”

20140329-180254.jpg

20140329-204257.jpgI was deeply touched by her motherly concern. However, I had already given this problem to Christ and left it for Him to solve. Because of this, I was able to encourage her by replying, “Mother, if there was only one man in the world but the Lord Jesus Christ wanted me to marry him, then Jesus would bring me to him.” Then unexpectedly I added, “Who knows, Mom, maybe I’ll marry an Asian? God might have a permanent ministry planned for me in Asia.” This last statement certainly didn’t comfort her. She burst into tears at the thought of me staying in Asia for life.

20140329-210223.jpg

When I left Lost Angeles airport on November 14, 1971, I did not know that Jesus was actually taking me to meet a handsome Chinese man who would be my husband. Nor did I realize that I was leaving one way of life to eventually begin a new life with him in a foreign country. Unknowingly, Jesus had given me a glimpse of my future through my statement to my mom.

The Crossroads arrived in the Philippines on November 21. Manila had been chosen as our home base since the Asian Training Center for Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC) was located there. Three weeks after arriving we attended the CCC Leadership Training Institute. On the second day of the institute, the topic of marriage came up again when Becky,  a newly married Filipino staff of CCC, shared with me that months before she met Ben, her husband, she had prayed for certain qualities to be in the man she married.

The results of Becky’s prayer inspired me to do the same. After the institute, I prayerfully made the list of qualities, which I wanted to be in the man I would marry. It was my desire that each quality would be pleasing to Lord. Let me share these qualities with you. I wanted:

  1. A true Christian – a man who has trusted Christ to forgive his sins and because of this, has Christ’s Spirit living in him.
  2. One who loves God more than he loves me.
  3. A man who allows Christ’s Spirit to control him and to guide his life.
  4. One chosen by the Lord to serve Him.
  5. One who understands that the Lord’s role for a Christian husband is to be the head of his home – to lead his wife through his love and not by force.
  6. A man with leadership ability.
  7. A man who is sensitive and understanding with others and wise in human relationships.
  8. One who is intelligent, has achieved the same level of education as I have, has a positive attitude toward life, and one who enjoys sports like swimming, (something that we can do together).

Although I didn’t know where this man was, I did know that the Lord would bring me to him someday. Until that time, I was content to pray for him and to wait.

In January, just one month after I had begun praying for my future husband, I met Peter. Our first meeting was very casual, and to be honest, very ordinary. We were at the weekly Friday night meeting of Campus Crusade for Christ. Approaching me with a friendly smile, he said, “Hi, I’m Peter.” I smiled and returned the greeting. I remember little of the rest of our one and a half minute conversation. But, I did take note of Peter and his personality. He appeared very friendly, sure of himself, and capable of leadership.

Later the following week, Peter invited the Crossroads to dinner. It was then that I learned he was in the textile business. The next Friday night at the Crusade meeting, he asked me to go sightseeing on Sunday afternoon. I accepted his invitation. However, our date did not turn out as I had expected. Since Peter had accepted a speaking engagement during our date, we ended Sunday afternoon ministering together in a small local church.

As I listened to him preach, I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to minister together like this with my husband.” At that time, I did not realize that I would be ministering with Peter for the rest of my life. Standing before me was the man I would marry and for whom I had been praying. But, I didn’t know it.

After our first date, Peter and I began dating frequently. Each time we were with each other, we were drawn closer together. God also used the two of us, a blonde American lady and a dark-haired Chinese man, to bring many people to Christ. The more I was with Peter, the more I discovered that his qualities were identical to the qualities I had prayed to have in my husband.

Then in April, Peter told me that he believed the Lord was showing him that I was to be his wife. When he told me this, I became excited, but at the same time, I felt uneasy. To be married to a man with Peter’s qualities was in my prayer. Yet, to marry Peter meant marrying outside my own race. In order to make such a decision I had to know God’s attitude towards mixed marriages. I also had to be absolutely sure that it was God’s will for me to marry Peter. So, I replied, “Peter, I believe that a marriage relationship requires a mutual confirmation from the Lord that it is his will.” He agreed.

That night I returned home and wrote a list of practical questions to the Lord Jesus. I desired to know his perspective on mixed marriages, leaving my country, the future of our children, and the type of ministry Peter and I would have. I committed these questions to Him and expected Him to answer me from the Bible.

Finally, five months later on August 24 while I was returning by ship from the Southern Philippines, the Lord directed me to passages in the Bible which specifically answered all of my questions. Although I had many questions which He answered, I will only share with you His attitude towards races. In Galatians 3:26-28, He showed me that those of us who are in Christ are children of God. The earthly classifications of individuals by race and social status are replaced by a new classification for the children of God; we are one in Christ.

After he answered all my questions positively, I was confident that it was His will for Peter and me to be married. Bowing my head, I prayed, “Lord, thank you for showing me your will and for giving me to such a wonderful man as Peter.”

Two days after this revelation, Peter unexpectedly returned from his two months trip to the U.S. The day after his return, the 27th of August, he proposed to me. I did not expect him to ask me to marry him this soon after his return. I was excited but surprised.

I wanted to first share with him all the verses the Lord had given me in regards to our relationship before I answered him. After sharing the verses, I was still uneasy about the future. Even though I loved Peter, I realized that saying “yes” to him would change the entire course of my life. That was a difficult decision for me to make. However, God had clearly shown me that this was His perfect plan; that I should be Peter’s wife. I knew that I needed to pray in order to have the courage to make such a decision. I asked Peter to pray with me. I thanked the Lord for His plan for our lives, for Christ’s power to be obedient to His will, and most of all for Peter. While still praying, I said “yes” to the Lord and then “yes” to Peter.

THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON JULY 12, 1973.

Recently, my mom gave a shortened version of her testimony before our church and I want to add what she said:

My vows to Peter were consistent to the vow I had made to God.  As Ruth had said to Naoimi  in  Ruth 1:16 “…Where you go I will go … Your people shall be my people and your God, my God.”

When I first arrived in Manila, the Lord had given me a promise of blessing which I did not really understand at that time from Mark 10:29-30. Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brother or sister or mother or father or children or farms, for my sake and for the gospel’s sake but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms along with persecution; and in the age to come, eternal life.”

Peter and I have now been married for nearly 41 wonderful years and looking back I can see that the Lord has literally fulfilled these promises to me. He gave me a wonderful husband whom I love and respect even more then ever!  And five children and in-law children who love and serve the Lord and thirteen, going on fifteen, amazing grandchildren! Of course, I also have many spiritual brothers and sisters whom I love who are also the fulfillment of God’s promise of blessing in my life as well. Truly it is the nature of God to bless us!  And He has blessed me beyond what I could have ever imagined! All by His grace!

  1. Hi Joy! I’m blessed to read how your parents met and how they both sought the Lord and His Word as they committed themselves to marriage! So heartwarming! Thanks for sharing this story!

    1. That’s what I was blessed by too…how they really sought God every step of the way and received his confirmation. 🙂

  2. This made me cry… God is indeed an awesome Author of love stories… and what makes this more beautiful is the fact that this is not from some movie or book… it is real and we can see them and we can see you and your entire family. Praise God for encouraging and inspiring people by using your whole family. 🙂

  3. Amazing grace! Our Lord Jesus Christ answers prayers in His Name so that the Father in Heaven is exalted, only if we trust and obey. Thank you for sharing this, Joy. We are truly blessed by their testimony of God’s work and faithfulness in their lives. Glory be to God!

  4. God led me to read this article this morning. This really touched me as I am once again reminded to walk by faith moment by moment. Truly, God’s hand is at work in our lives. And He uses people like you Joy as a vessel to bring about blessings to other people. God bless!

  5. what a moving story of faith and service to the Lord. how wonderful when young people really inquire of God for His will on their future. praise God for two obedient believers. their terrific synergy is truly God’s blessing to many. deonna looks like an absolute doll! pastor peter is so blessed with a bee-aaUtiful wife inside and out! 🙂

  6. May I have your permission to post your blog entry in my blog? Of course, it will not be for plagiarizing but to share with others and serve as a reminder for me of God’s promises.

  7. Thank you Ms. Joy for sharing your parents love story. Truly when the center of your mind is God the desires of your heart will be answered (note that if God is the center of your heart – the desires of your heart change to His desires) so its really perfect – not problemless, not sinless, no negative things but rather peaceful in times of problem, peaceful in times of trouble because you know for sure your God is your partner and leader. Thank you!!!

  8. Hi Joy, as i listened to the last sharing of your moms testimony in recent sunday messages about her testimony in obeying God, i was moved to tears but not as much as these one. this is really a beauitiful one~ wow!when God writes your love story! i also remember your blog about how God confirmed that you and Edric are meant for each other. indeed when we acknowledge and allow God to be the author of our lives He will surely write a perfect love story for us. thank you for sharing this! This is truly inspiring that we have a loving ,kind and perfect God who wants the best for us!

  9. Hi Joy,

    That is an amazing testimony. I am so glad that you took the trouble to publish this. It would certainly be a blessing to many. When it comes to love, the important thing we need to know is this: all love starts with God. Apart from God – who Himself is love – none of us could truly love or be loved. Our first action should always be to consult God and that’s what your mom so wisely did. You have wonderful, exemplar parents. You are truly a blessed woman. Love you Joy for sharing!

  10. Dear Joy,

    You don’t know me, but I first met you when you were a toddler at Brookside Baptist Church on Canton Road, where your dad Peter served as an elder. That was the first Christian church I attended, and I was 16 at that time. Your parents’ ministry made a great impact on my life. Your aunt, Beth Tanchi, walked me through many years of my Christian journey and I will never ever forget her. It’s been ages since I last saw her (I am now 53 years old), and I’d appreciate it very much if you would give me her email address. Thank you for sharing your parents’ love story. Give my best regards to them. The Lord’s blessings be upon you always.

  11. Thank you for sharing this story. I was in tears the whole time I read it. The beauty of our loving God permeated every word. A lot of the tears were because God has done a similar thing for me and my friend. For us the conclusion of the story has not yet been written, but God’s hand on our relationship has been clear from its beginning 24 years ago. My friend’s daughter said we should write a book of our amazing love story. Perhaps we should, but we must wait for the conclusion of the story. Praise be to God whose plan for each of us far exceeds anything we could plan for ourselves. Patience and faith and putting God first will ultimately be our greatest blessing and also blessing for those we touch.

  12. Awesome story indeed! I remember how similar our love story in some aspect. Gods work is amazing. God bless!

  13. Hi this is a good reminder to us single ladies to trust God fully, wait on Him, and not take matters in our own hands. I pray that single people as I will be more sensitive to the voice of God and follow Him wholeheartedly.

  14. Wow, what a beautiful love story. Indeed, the best love stories are ordained by the Lord. Thanks for sharing.

  15. So blessed by your parents’ love story, I would say it’s one for the books. God really is the Center of their relationship from day one up to the present. God bless your whole family.

    1. Thanks Joy for posting this beautiful love story.

      Ptr. Peter and Deonna & family have extremely blessed me and my own family.
      I thank God for their love and commitment to the Lord.
      Glory to God for raising them to minister to many people.

  16. Thanks, Joy, for posting this beautiful love story.

    Ptr. Peter and Deonna & you family have blessed us tremendously.
    I thank ad praise God for them and pray that He will continually strengthen and bless them.
    Glory to God for raising Ptr. Peter & Deonna to minister to many. Love you both.

  17. Woow~ Thanks for this post Ms. Joy. It gave e new and positive perspective in life. God is concern about our love life, as Pastor Peter has said. And indeed, He works all together for good for those who love Him. Thanks for this. God Bless. 🙂

  18. Hello Joy,
    I am trying to see how I could reach your father, Mr Peter Tan-Chi, but I can’t seem to find the time. Since my last visit to the Philippines last Feb and March, I found interesting challenges among the people I know regarding paying attention to what the Scriptures have to say. Today, I remember your father again. Because I am an avid user of youtube.com, I instead encountered your link and got attracted to your posting regarding the meeting of your father and mother and later into marriage. The story of your parents is a journey of envy by many especially among those whose beliefs are grounded in the Scriptures. And I can see why you are encouraged to post such heart-touching unusual story. Indeed, your parent’s spiritually-filled love-story is one of the models to mimic when looking for a partner in marriage. I envy you for having such committed parent’s in the service of our creator. Most especially for giving them the opportunity to have children and raised them according to the precepts and living moral principles of the Scriptures – it is a blessing!
    You don’t know me but I know your father for about two years now by name. My sister-in-law introduced him to me for she used to be a member of CCF. I did a random check on CCF in the Internet and instill in my to-do list to visit your branch here in Los Angeles but I just can’t find the chance. I am hurdled by distance and work related issues. It seems that CCF is one of those religious entities with highly organized administration. I am hoping that your father is an honest and zealous follower of the ways of the Scriptures. In addition, that he is an open-minded person to see and hear other scriptural ideas having the attitude of the Bereans. I am very glad and very proud to have such a kababayan achieve a high degree of spiritual achievement including business related matters. My salute to your family for having such deep spiritual biblical convictions.
    May your father, entire family, and brethren in trust be blessed by our heavenly father Yahweh. I am sorry that I don’t use the name Jesus Christ. When time comes, your father and/or someone in your institution will probably understand. When that reality occurs, I would be interested to know for I am looking for kababayans who have the same frame of mind to intellectually search for the truth of the Scriptures. It would be an honor and a pleasure to study with them, which I am longing for a long time.

  19. I read this at the airport while waiting for our flight to Cairo for our Holy Land tour with your Dad and Mom and I was just so inspired with tears in my eyes at how simple the love story was, and yet God used their union supernaturally, exceedingly, abundantly to produce a million fold and more blessings in this world. I enjoyed looking at the pictures! Your Mom is so beautiful and your Dad looks like Bruce Lee :-), you look exactly like your Mom in one of the pics, only she’s blonde. And in your childhood picture, you look like one of your sons, is it Edan? I think. I can’t recognize Paul, he’s just different from now but much better hehe! God bless your family! You are all loved by so many including me!:-)

  20. Hi Joy, please inform your parents that their obedience to the Lord through their love story has given me hope and inspiration even wisdom. My heart feels joyful knowing that the Lord is our God who loves us perfectly and fulfill His plan in His own way and time, we just have to learn to ask, surrender and wait.

  21. On one occasions we were at dinner in the Tanchi home, and your mom and dad related the story of how God brought them together–enough to make me a Calvinist who would said, “Ordained by God!” I have been so blessed by their friendship over the years and count them among my closest friends. You, as their children, along with your children are an affirmation of their lives reflecting the Lord’s plan and purpose. May God grant that your children’s children will follow in their footsteps. We love you guys as “family!” Harold Sala

    1. Love you too Uncle Harold! So honored to receive a comment from you! This made my day! Our family is so blessed by your ministry and your life! May he continue to use you and Aunt Darlene to further His kingdom for his glory!

  22. hi, Joy. Thanks indeed for sharing your parents’ testimony. I’ve been with PCCC for years now but I go to another church due to proximity. I hope you’ll indulge my curiosity. Which one are you in the family picture?

  23. Hi joy,
    I am really blessed by your parents love story and it really inspired me and makes me cry.
    I wrote down the qualities that I want my future husband to possess and started praying for him since I was 17 years old and I am now 22. I don’t know if I have met my future husband but like your mom I lay it down to God and trust Him with that matter. I pray that I will have wonderful love story like your parents.
    God bless your parents and family.
    Mia ❤

  24. Congratulations to your parents and your whole family. Thank you for sharing their inspirational story. God bless them.

  25. Good morning joy, I was truly inspired by your parents inspirational story. I know that our God will always bless your parents and your family. Please pray for my family to be intimate with our Lord God especially my mother. Thanks.

  26. a love story wrote by God is eternal, this is so inspiring,i believe God will write my love story too in His beautiful and perfect time.Thank you ms joy for sharing this with us!!!!

  27. Their love story is wonderfully made by two people who love God and willing to serve Him until the end of time.

      1. Joy, what a marvelous love story about how God brought together your parents, Peter and Deonna, to develop a ministry with a global impact! I can attest to your mother’s zeal for the Lord, since I knew her during her freshman year at California Baptist College, when she accompanied me to a banquet and a revival meeting. Subsequently God led us in different paths, including a decade of campus ministry in Mexico. As in your childhood family, we also have 5 children. This fall I will begin my 29th year of full-time college teaching. Though we travel abroad frequently, the nearest place to the Philippines we have visited is China.

  28. Hi Joy! I would like to ask, how is the idea of starting a church came to the mind of Pastor Peter? How’s your dad balance the responsibility of being a Pastor and Minister of God’s word? What is the biggest challenge Pastor Peter faced in his ministry?

    1. Hi Ariel, it took being sick with Hepatitis to also convict him to stop living for himself and just to make money. My dad has always been a businessman. He is a self-supporting pastor, which means he still has his business which is being run by my brothers. However, he was convicted to start a church because his burden was for business people and the church he was going to did not connect with them. So it was probably two-fold. First, God got his attention and second, he also felt a deep burden to minister to business people.

      The biggest challenges he faces are not anything uncommon — criticism from others, people who don’t listen and don’t want to change even if they have been given biblical advice, how to mentor and raise up other leaders, time management and priorities, committing to purity, guarding against pride and love for the world — pretty much the same things that most people face in leadership. 🙂 It’s only by God’s grace!

      1. Thank you Joy! I really appreciate your response. I am from part of Ptr. Joey’s Area and I’m gathering data for my paper in one of my subjects in IGSL. If it is fine with you, could you share with me in private message or here in your blog anything that Pastor Peter and your family experienced during the first five years of CCF, and the core group he established during that time. Thank you.

  29. Hi Joy, at the moment, I just found out that the one I like is already dating someone else. I am deeply hurt because I thought that he is already God’s will for me. God’s grace, I was led to your website and read the love story of your parents. Though I’m still hurt, I realized that God IS SO INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES that He would supply us with HIS love, wisdom, discerning power and anointing as we seek to do His will. Thank you for sharing and I’m asking for your prayers for me to heal as soon as possible.

  30. I really admire your family ever since I came across online about CCF 6 years ago. I have a strong desire to marry. I am with my more than a decade boyfriend. We’re engage for almost 4 years already. This year is a very tough year for our relationship. Challenges, Confusion, Doubt, Deep Hurt and many challenges are arising. Despite all these happenings, is my hope and faith in the Lord that someday everything will be okay and everything will make sense. I always check your latest facebook page post in Teach with Joy. Everytime I see your family,I am always blessed and encourage and empowered not to loose hope. And I saw your latest post about Pstr Peter and Ate Deona, I always cry everytime I see them loving and serving the Lord, and everytime Pstr Peter look Ate Deona lovingly. Then I am curious how they look during the time they were starting in their relationship then I found this article. I always pray to God, “Lord gusto po ganun din kami ka strong sayo Lord”. Nakakahanga po talaga kayo at buong family nyo po..I always pray to God to have faith just like them and just you ate Joy..I am beyond thankful to the Lord for creating a wonderful family that you have. Thank You Jesus for your grace and love to their Family. Please pray also for me and my fiance. Thank you ate Joy for sharing this testimony and your family’s testimonies. We are all beyond blessed. God bless always.

  31. thanks for sharing as i am so blessed to know that it is only by GOD’s grace that my children will share
    their lives with GOD’s best! patiently praying and waiting..
