A chapter renewed, a promise everlasting, a journey celebrated together.

Every love story is written differently. Theirs began with a simple hi and hello — an ordinary moment that would unfold into an extraordinary journey of friendship, faith, and love. To her, it was just a casual encounter. She laughed, smiled, and went on with her bubbly self — not knowing that this light would quietly capture his heart. There was even a time she turned him away. But in God’s perfect timing, she reached out again, reopening a door that led to something lasting and true. On December 27, 2000, at ten in the morning, before God, family, and friends, they vowed to walk through life together. What began as a promise has since become a love tested by time, strengthened by faith, and refined through years of shared joys, losses, and triumphs. Twenty-five years later, Ernie and Sha stand again before God — same date, same time, same individuals, but a love far deeper than before. Their life in ministry has not been easy, yet it has been full — because they learned that the right partner doesn’t just walk beside you, but helps you grow along the way. This renewal of vows is more than a celebration; it’s a testament. A reminder that love, when rooted in God’s grace, remains steadfast through seasons and storms. For twenty-five years, that love has been enough — and will continue to be, for all the years still to come.
