Starting a family in London has been the greatest blessing I have ever received from God since my salvation. 8 Months after moving to London, I met Rachel on a Christian dating website, and it was love at first sight. The following year we were privileged to get married not once but three times!!!


We Got Married 3 Times

First Wedding

Due to my being an American and some stringent laws in the UK about getting legally married, we had to do our first wedding at the council building. While it was not the original plan, God was clearly in control and even booked us a date to get married before our original date in August. So, with only a couple of options to choose from, because most time slots were booked for over a year, Rachel and I married on 12 June 2018.

Second Wedding

We had our big wedding celebration on 27 August 2018 with all our friends and family. My family came from 3 different countries to London to celebrate with us, and my father was able to perform the ceremony that day too. This was the original date for getting married, but instead of saying vows for the first time, we got to do it again for the second time.

third Wedding

After all this, we finally went on our honeymoon in America before preaching and sharing our ministry in London with eight churches. We were able to have a third wedding celebration with all the family and friends who could not make it to London. This time we showed a video recapping the first two weddings and then had a big reception where most people met Rachel for the first time.

Growing Family

Annabelle

Rachel and I were very blessed in 2019 to have our first child Annabelle on 28 March. She has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. We can’t believe how fast she has grown and all the fun she gets herself into.

Elena

Our family ended 2020 positive for COVID and many hospital visits to get back to being healthy. But we started 2021 the best way possible when we welcomed our second daughter Elena to the world.

Our Home

In 2022, God opened a door for us to move closer to our church and cut our drive in half daily. Having a bigger home allows so many more opportunities for ministry, and we can’t wait to see the girls grow up in these four walls.
