Acts 28:31
"A man who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." – Proverbs 18:22 CSB
Thank you all for your prayers and support, its been a busy summer with a slew of things to catch you up on with the future of Hope Church, our first month of marriage and the upcoming semester.
Newly weds
July 8, 2022 was the best day of my life. I got to marry my best friend. We had a small ceremony with about 100 people outside the seminary. The week of was hectic, driving to the Airport to pick up friends and family, fixing up the last minute details, hoping and praying it wouldn't rain, but it all came together. Our God showed up and showed out, the day was perfect. Sara and I got to welcome so many family and friends from Toronto and the states and we were just floored with the amount of love and support for us from both sides. We had a lot of friends and family who couldn't make it too, but for them we had a streaming option too. Sara's dad officiated the wedding for us too. I'll have pictures posted at the bottom of the post.
To this point we've been married for about a month and we're loving it, still some adjusting to living together, and making our house a home, but we're progressing day by day. Each day i learn something new about Sara and I find something to enjoy about her. We celebrated her birthday August 20, by going to the zoo. Just her and I. We had a whole day together, just her and I. She got calls from family, and friends all day. We ended the day by going out to eat all you can eat sushi. Right now we're actually facing a bit of an uphill battle though. Sara had been working for our Baptist convention this past year, but unfortunately due to the changes, she is being let go at. We're actively looking for a job, and truly praying that the Lord will provide one for us. So if you could please keep us in your prayers. Hope Church Update
So from the last post I shared, there was some pretty major news that Hope church was going through that I couldn't share. However, as we're still going through the process, I'm glad to announce that Hope Church currently is in the process of merging with another church here in Calgary. The church is called Northern Hills Church and they meet in a movie theater called the Landmark Cinema in the NE quadrant of the city. The merger isn't finalized, but we are quite far ahead in the discussions. By God's grace we will make an official announcement in time for our relaunch (September). A little about Northern Hills Church:

I'm halfway through my degree program here at the Canadian Baptist Theological Seminary. I'm taking a full load this year:
