We met through the Christian Ministry at Missouri Western State University in 2021. We met playing slip and slide kickball and started off as good friends. We stayed friends for over a year attending various events at Challenge such as Spring Break, Camping Trips, or Conferences. After staying late after many nights of Volleyball and Pickleball, we learned so much about each other and grew closer. During the float trip in 2022, Ethan held Faith’s hand for the first time. Once we got back from the float trip we went to Sonic and had a talk to make sure we were on the same page. A couple days later on September 21st, Ethan took Faith to his Elementary School to show her around and play on the playground. We climbed to the top of one of the structures and Ethan asked Faith if she would like to be his Girlfriend. (Of course, she said yes happily) We dated for over 2 years getting to experience so many events such as weddings, Holidays together, and Graduation. We got to serve as Leaders together at Christian Challenge and both became stronger in our faith through leading Bible studies and attending different conferences and worship nights. We have gotten to go through some very challenging times together that has only helped to strengthen our relationship and help us learn how to best serve one another. The phrase we live by for our Relationship is to “Out-Serve One Another” We are continuously looking for ways we can be there for one another and serve as a light in each other lives. We can’t wait to see all the different ways God will use our relationship and where it will take us! We also can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on June 21st 2025!!
