Elijah & Rebecca met at Bethany Global University (BGU) on August 23rd, 2021, where Elijah was almost immediately taken with Rebecca--though it took Rebecca a little longer to catch on. Neither of them expected to find their soulmate the first day of the first semester of freshman year, but the Lord has a funny way of bringing those things about--& boy has it been a cherished blessing! They quickly became best friends & spent almost all day, every day with each other. September 23rd comes & they are dating! They have many fun adventures in Minne-SNOW-ta together & find themselves falling more in love with each other as every day goes on. They talk more seriously of marriage (because they both date with the intent of marriage) & come Thanksgiving of 2021, Rebecca is meeting his family. Likewise, come Christmas of 2021, Elijah is meeting her family, where he asks her parents a very significant question. As you can tell...they got engaged shortly after! They earnestly seek the Lord & His plan for their future, which is evidently leading to marriage in 2022 & missional ministry in the future. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
