For both of us, Dream City Church was a place of healing and service. We spent our time volunteering and focusing on those in need, all while quietly praying for God to bring the right person into our lives. We had both known hurts in past relationships, but we chose to trust in His timing. One afternoon, during an outdoor baptism, we both felt a nudge to stay and cheer on those taking that sacred step. Across the baptismal pool, our eyes met—and everything changed. Raymond walked over to introduce himself, and in that moment, the world grew quiet. It felt as though we had known each other for a lifetime. As we grew closer, we discovered we share a deep love for the simple beauties of life—exploring the outdoors, gardening, and honoring our culture. More importantly, we discovered a shared calling: a passion for helping others heal from their pain. By sharing our own stories of restoration, we hope to lead others toward the same healing we found through God. What started as a deep friendship grew into a beautiful connection. By June 2022, we officially began our journey together, knowing that God had chosen far better for us than we ever could have for ourselves. It is so amazing what God can do when you trust Him to choose for you!
