Braden and Ashley met on the shores of South Africa on a mission's trip. Although they weren't apart of the same missions' team, God worked it out for them to be in South Africa together and meet for the first time. Through different circumstances, God caused Braden and Ashley to reconnect. As they reconnected, they found that they wanted their lives to be about the same thing -- Christ & His mission. It didn't take long for the two to fall in love. Braden and Ashley got engaged in August of 2021. Now, they can't wait to get married in April!
