We met for the very first time in 2017 at Phoenix, Arizona where the annual Korean Southern Baptist Convention was held. While John took note of her radiant qualities when Esther spoke as a panelist, it was not until March 2018 where things fruited into a growing relationship. As John visited Texas to visit Southwestern, he realized Esther's exuberant Christ-like character and recognized that pursuing her was not an option, but a must. Having seen John's perseverance and genuine character, Esther's curiosity grew to an interest through long-distance calls and face-time. And, by June, the thought of marriage was seeded in our minds. John moved to Texas in August and then the official courtship began. In the end, we thank the Lord for this timely connection and continue to ask for prayers as we seek holiness and dependency on God.
