Happy Anniversary!

We kind of knew each other in Sunday School when I was nine years old and she was eight. I always flopped at scripture memory and she got all the stars. I left church she stayed on …

We met again at the same church youth group called student fellowship years later when I returned from my little exile (or escape)… I was 15 she was 14, my opening line as we shook hands was, “Do you still remember me?” (I spoke in Mandarin then)

We “dated” or “had a serious relationship” - whatever you want to call it … for 10 years before getting married in 1999 June 5 on a Saturday afternoon with about 500 guests attending our wedding at the same church we met as kids, and as teenagers …

For all these years we’ve walked together and still have a long way to go (especially with Gareth and Elysia joining the journey) … we offer God thanks and praise - for leading us, protecting us, guiding us, shaping us, molding us … and doing so much more than we could ask or imagine making us into whom God wants us to be ….

Congrats! May God continue to bless both of you in your journey! I met my wife in the church I used to go to as a teenager as well! She left to go to KL for work and after remaining behind for a year I too left to go to KL for adventure. I found her instead, and we started going out shortly after, and together we have been on this wild adventure we call life for almost 28 years now, 23 of them as a married couple!

Wow.. what a touching story. I find marriage stories between people who meet at CF/YF/church as kids/teenagers very cool..

I have often wondered how a marriage could be good for God’s people as whole, not just for the two individuals… I see that in your marriage The Church is all the poorer without the sacrament of your marriage. May the LORD grant you and May Chin many years!
