OUR STORY · AS TOLD BY ERNEST

01 / OUR STORY

We went to serve;we found each other.

Our story began on a mission field, where we had both gone to serve the Lord through an evangelical mission organized by The Apostolic Church Students and Associates Chapter of KNUST in Nanketua.

During the mission, while I was busy serving, I missed supper. She noticed and, although she had very little, shared what she had with me. From then on, she made sure my supper was always kept aside.

She saw an industrious young man willing to sacrifice for others, while I saw someone who cared, noticed, and thoughtfully looked out for the people around her.

In the midst of serving God, we noticed each other. From there, things unfolded.

Our journey has taken us through different seasons, but through every season, the grace of the Lord has kept us and brought us thus far.

Today, we celebrate not only our journey, but the faithfulness of the God who has carried us through it all.

By His grace, this far
“For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.”Romans 11:36
