Our story began with the two of us far from our hometowns, and from each other. By God's providence, Yohann had started working in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 13,000km from his hometown in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and by God's calling, Bethany was serving the Lord with her family in North Africa, more than 5,000 miles from her hometown in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
In 2021, Yohann sent Bethany a message on CalledTogether that she never received due to their differences in membership status. But that didn't deter him. After a few months, he paid for an active membership, messaged Bethany again, but for personal reasons living in North Africa, things didn't go any further.
Both Bethany and Yohann then left the site for different reasons, and both rejoined again in the same month - May 2023. Bethany happened to be in the USA for the birth of her first niece, and with one "Hey, you're back!" message, their beautiful, God-woven story had officially begun.
Yohann had always desired a partner who sought God’s will first and valued bringing up a Christ-centered family. Bethany had always desired a partner who was faithful, kind, and who loved the Lord and his beautiful world.
After hours of texting and zoom-calling everyday and after Yohann made the 11-hour drive to meet Bethany in person and then her family, God made it clear to them that their relationship was in his will.
We are so thankful for all of you and the impact you have had on our lives. We can't wait to celebrate with you either in India, USA, or across the globe as we livestream the beginning celebration of the rest of our lives.
