 | Priscilla59 said My fiance and I "met" on BigChurch, and I can
only thank God that you were the means to bring me the man
I've been waiting for all my life! We have known each
other since September of 2004 and our wedding date is May
2006. I can't imagine my life without this man and I
stand in awe of God's goodness in bringing us together!

 | whiterose_n said Dear Bigchurch stuff and its members,
We want to share with you our happiness and gratitude to
people working for the site. Our names are Natalia and Sean
Lucas and we are also the members of this site. In November
2004 we met for the first time using your service and since
that moment we started corresponding, using IM and talking
on the phone. Very soon our friendship grew into real love
though we were living on different continents, two people
were separated by an ocean and so many countries. Yet, when
it is God’s will that people are together, it will be so.
Thus, on December, 2nd, 2005 we got married and feel so
happy and nice. Only with God's love and understanding
we can ever hope not only to have a wonderful life but also
to treasure all the gift's he gives us.
Thank you so very much for bringing people together and
helping to find new friends. God Bless You!
With the best regards,
Natalia and Sean Lucas.

 | bondgirl007 said Thankyou Big Church!!!!We met on your site.John and I are
to be married on April 8th 2006.We are so grateful for this
site.I had been on line for two years and John for about 4
years on various sites.
<br><br>
John first wrote to me on August 11th.I had a filter on and
hadn't seen his email straight away.When I checked
it out I saw that he looked like a nice guy but was divorced
with three kids.As a single girl it was a bit scary, the thought
of becoming an instant mum and I had seen a lot of situations
where people had tumultuous relationships with exes,
lots of game playing and hurt.
<br><br>
John wrote to me 2 more times- and I thought to myself - Who
is this guy?-he is very persistent!!!I had been praying
that the guy for me would really pursue me so a prompting
in my heart led me to write back and ask him the hard questions-
What happened in your marriage?How do you get along with
your ex-wife and children?My first email wasn't exactly
romantic and I wasn't frightened to scare him away
because I knew what I was looking for, a man of integrity
and faithfulness with the ability to forgive.
<br><br>
I was very impressed with Johns response.He had become
a Christian ten years earlier but his wife never did.Their
marriage broke down and she left him for someone else.He
wanted to save his marriage but couldn't.He had been
on his own for 5 years, waiting for Gods best!He has been
determined to forgive and to maintain a good relationship
with his ex wife.He is so committed to his three beautiful
children and is a wonderful father.He has shown me what
it means to die to self and agendas.He truly is a man of God.
<br><br>
I could have told you all the romantic things but I wanted
to share a real love story.We have had the most blessed relationship
and all the romance you could ever hope for too.But it's
the real stuff and the things we have had to overcome, giving
God permission to build our character in order to bring
us together that makes it a powerful testimony of Gods faithfulness.
<br><br>
Obedience brings Gods blessings!!!!John is more than
I could have ever dreamed of and we feel that we were made
for one another.God longs to give us the desires of our heart.
Be blessed in your quest to find love!!!!

 | lol1962 said Hi! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you. My
reason for joining Big Church (BC) in August 2004 was to
write a research paper slamming online services. Boy,
did I have a change in mindset!
<br><br>
I joined BC because of the Magazine, and I found the chat
rooms in mid-January 2005. During the next month, I met
some real toads but mostly I met some really great people.
My faith has deepened and grown because of these online
friendships.
<br><br>
On February 10th, AEPTING contacted me via IM asking me
about an acronym in my profile. The rest, as they say, is
history. Thank you for the major part you played in helping
Alan and myself find each other. Alan
asked me to marry him on July 4th and I accepted. He moved
from Mississippi and is now residing in Missouri.
<br><br>
Thank you does not seem to be enough, but it is what I have
to offer you. You are a great site and I hope a few bad apples
don't spoil it for all the others. Love online DOES
happen!!
<br><br>
God bless you all!

| shonrand said Jenia and I met on BigChurch in June of last year. She lived
in Russia, and there was no picture posted. I thought her
profile sounded good and so I sent her a message. We started
corresponding regularly, and found out that we shared
many convictions and ideas about God.
I talked her into meeting me in Prague in August. Neither
of us really expected to fall for each other, but we did.
We started our very-long-distance dating relationship
in September, and I flew to Moscow to visit her in January.
This summer she spent two months in Georgia, and we had an
amazing time getting to know each other.
We've discovered there are many challeneges due to
culture and even personality that don't appear when
one is writing or talking on the phone. But no matter whether
we end up getting married or not, we have had a fantastic
year and are incredibly grateful for God having blessed
us with each other.
Thanks BigChurch!
Shon and Jenia

 | smile4us said Dear BigChurch,
Thank you so much! I was a single mom of three, thinking I
was destined to spend the rest of my life without a mate.
I never thought there was a man out there who would want me
along with my awesome three children. Then I signed up for
Big Church. JSH30 came into my life. He swept me off my feet.
He loves and adores my children. Turns out his mom was a single
mom of two, then walks in his adoptive father. Isn't
God great! Our personalities mesh perfectly together.
He makes me laugh and my eyes twinkle. I never knew love could
feel like this. On July 30, 2005, we were married. With the
help from God and Big Church, we could say we will be living
happily ever after!! Thank You so much!!

 | songgirl12 said Hello,
My name is Michaella. I was a member of BigChurch for about
6 months or so, and I just wanted to let you know that I found the
Love Of My Life here on your site. He is the next best thing
to the Lord in my life! We are now engaged and getting married
on March 25, 2006. Thanks! We've given your web site
to many, many friends.
Thanks Again!

 | UniquelyYours said I have been an on-and-off member of BigChurch since 2003. I had talked with a few people, but nothing clicked. It wasn’t until October 2004 that I started corresponding with a certain gentleman from the site. Even though he seemed to know from the beginning that I was the one he had been praying for, it took me a little longer: I was wary. He was extremely consistent, calling the same time every night. We had long conversations and I loved talking with him, but was hesitant about how I felt..
We met in November and while I still wasn't sure yet, I was coming to see that he was truly the kind of person I had prayed for. We continued to talk daily and did not meet again until Christmas Eve 2004. This was the turning point: after that we met every week (he would travel from Pennsylvania every Sunday) and I would go there when I could get time off from work. We continued talking on the phone, often a few time a day, and in May 2005 he asked me to marry him. We’ll be married in September. I couldn’t be happier. He is a wonderful Christian man and a perfect match for me. I thank God and BigChurch for
bringing us together.
Thanks again!
Uniquely Yours & Count1to5

| godslittleboy said I had pretty much come to the conclusion that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life. “It’s okay,” I thought. “I have my cat -- how bad could it be?”
On April 15th 2004, though, I was internet surfing and BigChurch popped up. After reading through the site, I decided to complete a free profile, and then joined for 3 months. I went through the profiles of women looking for men and came across Pam's profile. I winked at her, she winked back and we started to email each other. One day she asked if I would like to talk on the phone; we exchanged numbers and begin a long distance friendship.
On Labor Day weekend Pam was going to be in the area for a visit with her family. We decided to meet for the first time at a park. I told Pam I would be wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. That morning when I was getting ready, I was so nervous that I spilled a whole cup of coffee on my shirt, and had to choose another color. After arriving at the park, I was praying that when Pam drove up and didn't see a man in a red shirt she wouldn't drive off thinking I didn't show up.
When I saw Pam drive up, I started to walk towards her with a single red rose in my hand. She got out of the car and started towards me and I knew at that moment that I was in love and that this was the lady I was going to marry.
We hit it off great. Pam came home again for 6 days at Christmas time and by that time we had talked about getting married. I joined her and her family for their Christmas and she joined me for Christmas with my family. She was a big hit with my family. Pam and I both feel in our hearts this was a complete God-thing
and we were meant to meet that day on BigChurch.
Pam and I had looked at rings when she was home for Christmas. We found one she liked and I ordered it, but I told her I had ordered it through my boss from India and it wouldn't be here until April. I flew out on Feb 16th to Fremont for a visit and brought the ring. At 12:01am on Feb 20th I sang Happy Birthday to her and just before the ending I got down on one knee with the ring behind my back. After "Happy birthday to you" I stuck in the words, "Will you marry me?" All she said was, " Oh My God. Oh My God." and I then I yelled, "WELL...will you?" and she said "YES!"
Obviously we’re very happy. Thank you, BigChurch for allowing us to find each other.

 | artlover75 said I met a wonderful man on this website. We e-mailed
each other for over a year. I originally came on this site
looking for friends. I had an awful concept of men in general,
and just wanted to get to know some different men. Even though
he and I no longer correspond, I feel really lucky
to have met him. He really was the first person, I could relate
to in a long time. He prayed for me often and encouraged me
in my career and spiritual life. He was like a best friend. I
fell in love with him. Meeting him has given me hope, that
there are Godly men out there. Sometimes we must wait on
Gods timing to happen, and God does come through. BigChurch
has been a great place to meet Christian friends and without
it I would not have meet this man. God Bless!

 | karamat_m said I spoke on Forth Word of the Jesus.
<br><br>
Some high light of my research I want to send you. In Matthew
27: 46 and
(Mark 5:34).there is written is Three o'clock what
is mean of this three o'clock. that time Jewish offered
pray in temple (Acts 3:1)and daily sacrifice s in the temple(Dr
John Gill in 1690-1791)
<br><br>
<br><br>
Eli Eli lama sabachtahni is this is mixture of two languages
Hebrew and Greek,
in Jewish context this word was spoken in trouble, for hope,
trust on God.
<br><br>
Why Jesus was leaven? Its answer is in Isaiah 53:10 he accounted
sinner for us that why God leaven to him on cross
<br><br>
what God have leaven to him or forsaken, forbandon or deserted
to him forever? And its answer is not forever because in
Psalm 89: 3 and 28. Also John 16: father is with me. And in
acts chapter 2 we can read Peter says that God raised to him
from death. He was dearest of God. God did not leave to him
forever.
<br><br>
Now we have to need repent our sins, his sacrifice for all
mankind.

 | sweetmarie50 said When I met my husband in March 1995 I told him the most important
things in my life was 1. God to be first.
2. Friendship, 3. courtship, 4. romance, 5. marriage.
Now when you get married you still have to be the best of friends
sharing with your soul mate. You still have to date when
you are married to keep marriage alive. Romance is important,
you leave a I love you note in his lunch, fridge, or simply
telling how much you love him. You have tell each other why
you love them. Encourage each other.
We were married 5 years and then my husband passed away knowing
we love each. He had a blood clot and passed away on June 20,
2001. We both will never forget what we had. So be the best
friends and share with each other your needs and wants.

| niko5 said I have been a member of BigChurch for a couple of months now...I was
a member of a church for 1 and a half years before i realized.........
God did not want me there! I am still waiting for him to put
me where he wants me 2/b (church). Determined to stay in the
word of God I continued 2 read my Bible and pray to him after
a while it started getting real hard for me to do. I think
it's true when you are out of church for an amount of
time Satan begins to think he has. Why did i leave church in the first place???
I was not receiving the guidance i needed. I was ready to
move forward in the Lord. embrace the Holy Spirit when it
comes and not rebuke it! (due 2 a scheduled church service). Though we should always be on God’s time, i feel when we enter
into his house we should really be on his time, and not a church
program. I have met some real God
sent people through BC, they have really made a difference
in my life through ministry and prayer. I am not physically
in church every Sunday or through the week, but i am networking
with men and women of God to make sure this website stays
about God! Thank You Jesus for keeping me at work for your
kingdom!

| thedonlio said Well it all happened about two years ago when I had to prepare
for my senoir secondary school certificate examination.I
had to go to the Lord for his hand.
Coming from a not finacially sound home, things was tough
in terms of materials to read let alone what to spend on food
and other goods.As has always been in my academic life right
from my elementay level I had to strain to finish I just had
to face a more terrible one because a fail in even one out
of my seven papers could deter me from going ahead with education.Prayers
had to be the only means for survival.I managed to study
hard, went with vigor and confindent and with God's
backing I made the best of grades.
I am cureently in my second year at the university.Things
have not completely changed but I believe by God's
grace I will come out of this level too with great succes...
our God is able!

I want to thank you for your site and services. I had pretty

back in July of 2004. I live in Indiana

very well and are now planning to get married April 23 of
this year. I thank God for your website and services, and
I thank you for your part in my finding true happiness.

 | friendsfirst22 said Hello,
I met and am about to marry my first contact from BigChurch.
We knew instantly that GOD had sent us to be together. I am
so grateful for this site. I had prayed and waited for so
long to meet my soulmate. GOD has finally
sent my partner for life to me. I have found my missing piece
of the puzzle.
Prayer is power!!!

 | iliveforjesusC said
Around spring time last year, the Lord placed on my heart
to pray for a husband, so I started praying. Around the
end of May I was checking my emails and your advertisement popped up. I thought about it for
a second and I decided to join, it's free, might as well.
Never expecting anything fantastic to happen. Well after being on your site
for 3 weeks and still in prayer, I was feeling discouraged. Each time I got a contact, which was just about everyday,
I had no peace with any of them. So on June 13th feeling really
discouraged about being single, I came to the Lord in prayer
and asked Him what He wanted me to do. So after much tears and prayer I truly felt the Lord's
power upon me. I had this peace come over me that surpassed
my understanding. Well the next day I checked my emails
at BigChurch. I received a contact from TucsonNative.
I looked at his picture and this is going to sound really
weird but I felt as though God whispered in my ear and said
"This is the one" I replied to TucsonNative
and we had an instant spiritual connection
that God had everything to do with. We emailed each other
for 2 weeks before meeting. On our first date I met him at
my friend’s house. I was feeling still a little freaked
out about meeting someone from the internet. Well he got
to my friend's house first and then I arrived. I knocked at
my friend’s door and someone in her house opened the door
and quickly disappeared. I couldn't see anyone. All I could hear was the sound
of my heels as I walked slowly on the tile looking for my date
and as I turned the corner to the kitchen there he was with
a rose in his hand. I looked right into his blue eyes and I
was blown away. Wow! He is so handsome, I thought. Well to
make a long story short we had an awesome date. Well we couldn't
get enough of each other after our first meeting. We continued
to email each other and go out on many dates. He asked me to
marry him on September 8…of course I accepted. We married
October 22, 2004. Words cannot express how blessed I am
and how much in love I am with this man. I am so thankful that
the Lord used your site to do His will in my life. My Lord Jesus
fulfilled the desire of my heart. Thank You Big Church.

| NiceDoc2000 said With this story, I want to thank God and Big Church site.
I found my partner, JCFreak in this site on 1999, then we
had a distance relation for some years, but thank God we
were married on 2003. We're now living in Holland,
we have a nice marriage, and we continue serving the Lord
Jesus with our singing talents in our church. I've
heard many rumours about having a distance love via email-internet
but.. you can see, if God will, He opens the way! So I wish
for all of Big Church members, just enjoy and be graceful
to God for your friendship or love that you find here, and
keep the faith that something nicer will happen to you,
because nothing happens incidentally.. It's all
God's will.

 | JavaGirlTC said My 23-year marriage ended in divorce. At 43 years of age
I wondered if I would even be able to find someone special.
I longed for a Godly husband and it seemed that I kept getting
hit on by octogenerians or guys interested in sex. I attended
singles' Bible studies and other single events and
it just seemed that the women were there looking for husbands
and the men were hurting from broken relationships and
didn't want any new ones. I began to get discouraged.
I prayed that God would send me a Godly husband FAST!
Every once in a while when I logged on to check my email, an
ad for BigChurch would pop up. One day I had a strong impression
to click on it and join. I thought, "What the heck,
I can spring 20-bucks for one month just to see what happens."
The very next day I had three emails from three great guys
who seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. It was important to me to find someone who was strong in their
Christian faith. These three men had exactly that, plus
more!
One of the guys, Greg, was looking for a wife who had a heart
for the Lord. He had only a few days left on his BigChurch
membership and he wasn't planning on renewing. The
timing of our meeting was pretty amazing. We began to correspond
daily by email and by phone. I was living in the West and he
lived in the Midwest. One week after "meeting"
on BigChurch he asked me to marry him! He flew me out to his
city and put me up in a hotel. We spent five days together.
I attended his church where he played guitar on the worship
team and we went to lunch with his pastor.
Three weeks later Greg flew out west and met my kids. It was
only a couple weeks later that he moved my kids and me to the
Midwest. Exactly three months to the day after meeting
on BigChurch we were married! An odd thing is that after
we met, the ads for BigChurch stopped appearing on my screen!
Greg and I finding each other has been an answer to prayer
for both of us. This all seemed to happen so fast and in such
an unusual way. It was a little scary initially---meeting
someone on-line, because you can never know if the person
really is who they claim to be. But then again, even people
you meet in person can misrepresent themselves. All I can
say is be prayerful, be careful, and allow God to bring about
a miracle for you. I know He did just that for Greg and I through
BigChurch.

| Godsgirl1949 said Hi, my name is Audrey. I signed up on Bigchurch.com in July
2004. My requirements for a husband were very unusual and
narrow as far as the main population goes.I had met some
friends, but no one really fit the bill until Stan came along.He
is a wonderful, talented man of God, and on top of that, he
is absolutely gorgeous!
After a couple of emails, there were hours and hours of
phone conversation.The next week, Stan flew out to see
me.The moment we looked into each others eyes, we knew we
were meant for each other.The time we spent together was
short, but quality, confirming what God has intended for
us as a couple. Stan bought me a beautiful committment ring
before he returned to Missouri. We continue our phone conversations, I
will be flying out to where he is in Dec. 2004 to meet his family.
In January, he plans to relocate to North Carolina, where
I am, we plan to be married in the spring.Thank you Bigchurch.com!
for without you, and God using your site, Stan and I would
have not found each other.Our heartfelt thanks to you Bigchurch.com!!!!!!!

| Godsprincess88 said I'm not the typical person that would search for love
or friendship on the internet. A friend recommended this
site to me. I was skeptical at first but decided, hey it's a
Christian site...I'll give it a try. And since then
I thank my friend every day for telling me about this great
site. There are soo many good people on here. I even met a
guy on here. It may not be love but on the bright side I have
a new friend whom without BigChurch I would not have met.
Thanks for the memories BigChurch!!

We found friendship through BigChurch in Sept. 2004, Jesus

day by email. He is in Africa and I’m in Lawrenceville, GA.
If it be God’s will, one day we will meet face to face. He is helping
the refugees there and I do the same work here with the homeless.
we are a lot a like. I just want to say thanks again. I pray
that others meet someone like a friend I made. God bless
you all.

 | rebornlady said After the divorce, I though it would be easy to marry again.
Then, the reality showed me that it was not going to be so
easy. It was different then, as I was not leaving my parents
to live our own life. When marrying for the second time,
I was inviting someone to join to my existing family, and
this meant I had to be very wise! Here in bigchurch I had opportunity
to make many friends and meet some of them, a great experience.
When I first wrote to Otto, it was because I could see he speaks
Portuguese among other languages. I never thought he would
be my husband! But, as he had a daughter as old as my daughter
and a son as old as my son, I knew he was able to see my children
as his own children. Therefore, I decided we could be friends.
We talked so many times on the phone, for long hours, and
after 4 months he decided to visit me. Then I was sure he was
the person I would like to have as my husband. After that
meeting, we decided to pray and see if the Lord had plans
for us together. For other four months we prayed and I did
a fast every Saturday, and this time we had to pray without
contact was very important. I wanted God to show me what
I could not see. I did not only wanted the ideal person for
me, but also I wanted to be the ideal person for him. Then,
the day came when we could talk and we were sure about the
guidance of the Lord. We got married 7 months later and it
is wonderful to see how God has blessed our two families,
now only one. And we know it is only the beginning of much
more He has for us. I want to encourage people to keep seeking
the face of the Lord while waiting for the soul mate. God
really cares and He knows who is the best for you and also
who needs you as you are. And if you ask Him, He will put both
of you together. I wish I could express into words how happy
we are! God bless you all!

 | Teddienours said How understand the other?
Maybe several women will have an advice to me ! Is there a
way to keep the man we love ? Or it’s always impossible? The
best maybe is to get marriage with a friend like made our
grand parents?
I’m a French woman, very believer and wise, alone since
17 years. I believed I met the good ones… Usually most of
men wrote me are too young, under 30 and I’m 49, then I choice
myself : his answer was exactly I wanted ! Perfect!
We met in May and it was a really Honey Moon…. Everything
was marvelous! We pried, we went at church together, we
met my friends, we go out, and even we had some intimate and
passionate relations. I loved him like never before him,
my love to him was without limit ! We needed to separate ourseves
because he is living in USA… In July, his second visit was
a Hell ! He was completely different, selfish, liar.. And
several days ago, I discovered on my own computer a letter
he wrote to his mistress when I was at work. I had a chock!
a big pain!
I really thought a man knows so good the Scriptures, go at
Church every Sunday, read Bible and pry every day make this
bad thing! I don’ t understand!
I know, we need waiting be married to sleep in the same bed,
but I sincerely believed his is sent by Christ. In my heart
he was my husband! No, I’m not mad! I had a strange dream in
2000 : I met my husband, his name begin with a K, his has lost
a part of his hear, he doesn’t speak French… so when I sent
my wink, I only saw him with a base ball cap, and I don’t see
his name..
In an other side I almost forgot this dream..
I’m living in a Country where speak about religion or paranormal
is not easy. Most of my friends and neighbors don’t believe
in God.
Is it possible Jesus answers our personal questions and
help us to build a new marriage?
I don’t understand anything and I hope somebody somewhere
will help me and bring me a support. I'm crying whole
the night and a part of the day.
I think I never had a so big sorrow. Everything seem void
and black.
I will answer at you too.
God bless you.

| Tabea said Durch bigchurch war es mir möglich, in den Kontakt mit
Christen ganz unterschiedlicher Prägung zu kommen.Die
Kommunikation in den chatroom ist nicht immer einfach, wenn
man sich jedoch die Mühe macht, einzelnen Leuten zuzuhören
und mit Ihnen eine Freundschaft aufbauen kann, ist dieses
"Erlebnis" sehr bereichernd .
Ich lebe in Österreich, daher ist es normal, dass ich
persönliche Leute von bc in Österreich getroffen habe.Aber
auch meine telefonischen Kontakte zu Freunden aus der
bc comminity aus Amerika, Australien, Südafrika und
Westeuropa will ich nicht missen.
Eine Seite wie bigchurch gibt es im deutschsprachigen
Raum nicht, ich bin sehr froh, dass ich Sie gefunden habe.Danke.

 | nonado said I have been off and on of these sites for about the last 6 or
7 years. Although I am not married yet that is ok I have met
some wonderful Christian people who have added much to
my life. One of the first friends I met lived in CA and I was
in Texas. I contacted him but not as a potential mate. He
said in his profile that he worked in the ministry and also
did some counseling. I had a couple of questions I wanted
his opinon on so I wrote.
Long story short...we became the very best of friends.
That has been about 7 years ago and he is still my best friend.
He met someone else online and got married. It all went pretty
fast for him and I am sorry to say it didn't work out.
We are still best of friends.
I guess my point is....life happens sometimes good and
sometimes not so good. It is a wonderful thing to have people
in your life through the thick and the thin. People who will
encourage you and pray for you no matter what.
Take your time on here and as far as that goes off of here too.
It takes time to really learn a person. Make some good friends
who will be there for a life time. They are priceless.
God bless you all in your efforts to meet people who will
enhance your life.

 | rebornlady said We are so thankful to Bigchurch for providing us with a way
to find each other! OttoHGies and me got married on the 21st
of June! God has given us much more than what we could have
ever asked, dreamed or prayed for. Our God is faithful!

| mamahendro said Wow! It really can happen. I met Michael on May 15 - just a
simple hello was all it took. On August 9 we got married!
How cool is that! :-) He truly met my every desire in finding
a God-fearing man, an example that my own sons can finally
look up to! Praise the Lord! Thank you, BigChurch, for a
great site!

| cexhoucom said I feel it proud to gain a friend like Pastor Gady, though
the Bigchurch network. I wish and hope many more will be
added to my friendship. I am sure the Lord Almighty will
help and lead me in finding suitable friends through this
network.

 | luvcube said In a christian site like this all membersn suppose to be
of good cheer and try to know one another if possible visit
ur friends and pray with them, even share things with them
is not necessary u get married on this site but just to share
the word of God and also. If u find any body who is intrested
in marying you you can go ahead if he or she suite your life
style.
In AMOS 3:3, Two can not walk except they agree thats why
i'm stressing my opinion here.

| teacher55 said Hi my name is Tim (teacher55) and I recently met Melissa
(mel55) who is just an awesome person as I have ever met.
I have known her for just a month and a half, but we connected
so quickly and I already feel like she is my best friend!
We have so many things in common together, but the most important
is our faith in Christ. I know I would do anything for her
right now! We are going to meet for the first time in a few
weeks and I am just so excited and I just can't wait to
give her a big hug and to see her face to face for the first
time! Thanks Big Church for giving me the opportunity to
connect with her on this website.

| mrsmarshall said Hello. I realize that this message is overdue since we just
celebrated six months of Holy Matrimony and we are looking
forward to many productive years in the Lord.
I was a registered user named "victoriousone"
and there was another user named "takethetime."
We "met" through BigChurch last December and
we connected immediately. After a month or more of e-mails,
which led to IM, which led to phone calls, we met. After three
dates, he proposed.God did some miraculous things to
merge our lives, and we were married on December 20, 2003.
Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to meet

| nathan2000 said Subject: MY THOUGHTS ABOUT TRUE FRIENDSHIP!
TRUE LOVE IS PEACE, LOVE, HAPPINESS, CARE, COMFORT, ENJOYMENT, HOPE, ENCOURAGEMENT, UNDERSTANDING, DERTERMINATION, COMPENSATION, FUN, EVERLASTING
JOY, FORGIVENESS, ENRICHMENT, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU
HANDLE AND NURTURE IT. ONE SHOULD WORK FOR A SUCCESSFUL
RELATIONSHIP AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYTHING. A STABLE RELATIONSHIP
STABILIZES YOUR EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
ASPECTS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT A WOMAN SHOULD TAKE A LION`S
SHARE IN A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS GOING TO STAND A TEST OF TIME.
A MAN SHOULD STRIVE TO TAKE A RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING A SHOCK-ABSORBER
IN TIMES OF FINDING SOLUTIONS. THERE IS NO LOVE WITHOUT
CHALLENGES. FORGIVING & FORGETTING IS THE WAY FORWARD.
AS LONG AS A WOMAN IS HAPPY, COMFORTABLE AND HEALTHY, SHE
WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU DESERVE. LIES BREAK A WOMAN`S HEART
WHEN THEY ARE FOUND OUT. THEY BREED MISTRUST WHICH YOU MAY
NEVER RECOVER FROM AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. IT IS GOOD TO BE SINCERE
AND TRUSTED. COMMUNICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT MORE ESPECIALLY
WHERE THERE IS AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE. POLITENESS IS GOOD
TO A RELATIONSHIP. COMPROMISING IS THE BEST TOOL IN RESOLVING
A PROBLEM. BEING THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER IS THE SWEETEST THING
ON EARTH IN CASE OF A PROBLEM, A TIT FOR A TAT IS THE WORST
ENEMY OF A RELATIONSHIP TRUE LOVE OVERLOOKS EVERYTHING.
LOVE +LOVE+ LOVE IS THE ANSWER GOD PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN A STRONG
RELATIONSHIP PRAYERS TOGETHER MAKE MILACLES. I stand
to be cOrrected. Please forgive me where I went wrong I make
mistakes but the obove, is what I believe in WITH LOVE,

| nathan2000 said WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO THANK GOD
In most cases we pray to god using unfair and unfriendly
approaches. we shamelessly put him to test.we remember
him when we are confronted with problems or uncertainties.we
compare ourselves with the privileged7LUCKY ONES WITHOUT
CONSIDERING ALL THE GOOD THINGS HE HAS DONE FOR US
WE HAVE DECIDED TO DO INJUSTICE TO OUR CREATOR WHO HAS BLESSED
US ABUNDANTLY WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING .WE HAVE TEMPTED
THE CREATOR WHO HAS POWERS OF DETERMINING OUR FATE
EVERY PROBLEM YOU LAND IN EITHER BY YOUR MAKING OR BY CIRCUMSTANCES
, YOU PUT IT BEFORE GOD AND INCAS YOU FAIL TO GET A SOLUTION
, YOU EITHER BLAME GOD OR REBEL AGAINST HIM SOMETIMES.
AND TO SOME EXTENT, YOU EVEN YOU EVEN ACCUSE HIM OF NOT LISTENING
TO YOUR PRAYERS BY FIELDING ALOT OF REMINDERS AND ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST SOMEONE WHO HAS POWERS OVER YOUR DESTINY.
MY FRIEND, ARE YOU JUSTIFIED???
LOOK AT THIS:
1-THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT LIMBS YET THEY ARE DEDICATED
TO GOD
2-THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BORN IN AGONY, LIVED
IN IT, AND DIED IN IT WITHOUT EXPERIENCING ANY MOMENT OF
RELIEF
3-SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED ON HELPLESSLY WHILE THEIR PARENTS, THEIR
CHILDREN, LOVED ONES AND RELATIVES ARE BEING HACKED TO
DEATH BY THEIR TORMENTORS WHO ARE STILL ALIVE AND AT LARGE
4-THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW DYING OF HUNGER SOME
ARE CRAVING FOR A DROP OF WATER TO SAVE THEIR LIVE AND DESPITE
OF THEIR YELLING AND WAILING THEY HAVE FAILED TO REVERSE
THE SITUATION.
5-SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN COLD BLOOD FOR SOME REASONS
WHICH THEY DON`T KNOW AND WILL NEVER ESTABLISH
-6 THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE DUMP, DEAF, BLIND BUT
YOU FIND THEM PRAISING GOD
7-SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HUMILIATION, TORTURE, AND
ALL SORTS OF SUFFERING BECAUSE OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT
8-THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HOPELESS AND HELPLESS AND
SOMETIMES YOU WONDER WHY THEY WERE CREATED IN THE FIRST
PLACE
SURELY DO YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE MADE AN APPLICATION TO
GOD TO BE WHAT THEY ARE?
WHATEVER YOU DO WHEREVER YOU GO YOU HAVE EVERY REASON TO
THANK AND PRAISE GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU
I BEG YOU KINDLY TO GIVE A HELPING HAND TO THOSE IN NEED
GIVE THEM A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO LIVE ON ALL THEY NEED
IS LOVE AND HOPE
THANK YOU
MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU.

| DDBABY said ON-LINE DATING AND RELATIONSHIPS NEVER REALLY APPEALED
TO ME AND I GAVE MY FRIENDS THAT DID SO A VERY HARD TIME ABOUT
IT. I WAS CHECKING E-MAIL ONE DAY AND SEEN AN ADD FOR BIG CHURCH,
MEET CHRISTIAN SINGLES. I WAS RECENTLY DIVORCED WITH TWO
CHILDREN SO I WAS VERY LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAD
TO SPEND ON A SOCIAL LIFE. I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A SHOT.
AT LEAST I WOULD FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO. I SIGNED UP AND MESSAGED
A FEW PEOPLE AND GOT A FEW RESPONSES. NOTHING THAT REALLY
TRIPPED MY TRIGGER. I WAS BROWSING PROFILES ONE DAY WHEN
I CAME ACROSS A VERY HANDSOME MAN WHO SAID JESUS WAS HIS REASON
FOR LIVING AND WHO HAD RAISED HIS 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HIMSELF.
I DECIDED THAT WAS THE KIND OF MAN I COULD GET INTERESTED
IN. I MESSAGED TRUEMATE AROUND MARCH 25. HE RESPONDED ON
MARCH 26. ON MARCH 27 WE HAD OUR FIRST PHONE CONVERSATION.
IT'S BEEN A FAST AND AWESOME RIDE. I'VE BEEN TO
MEET HIM IN OHIO AND HE CAME TO SEE ME IN ARKANSAS. OUR CHILDREN
HIT IT OFF GREAT. HE HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, IN
SPIRIT AND IN PERSON. HE IS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER ASKED
GOD FOR IN A MAN. I BELIEVE GOD HAD HIS HAND IN THIS. BEING
SUCH A SKEPTIC, IT'S A MIRACLE I EVER LOOKED IN THE FIRST
PLACE. HE IS COMING TO GET ME AND MY CHILDREN IN EXACTLY ONE
WEEK FROM TODAY. WE ARE TO BE MARRIED ON JUNE 12TH. WE ARE
BOTH LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER.
THANKS, BC, FOR BEING THE VEHICLE THAT BROUGHT MY MAN TO
MY DESKTOP. GOD SENT AND BIG CHURCH DELIVERED AND I WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME. SO FROM THE HEARTS OF DDBABY AND TRUEMATE,
WE WILL EVER BE INDEBTED. LOVE AND PRAYERS TO ALL WHO ARE
STILL LOOKING, "TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART
AND LEAN NOT TO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL THY WAYS
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS."

 | myangel12 said Each night, I just can't wait to finish all my lovely
dreams. I know when my soul returns from its wandering from
here to there and wakes me that I can turn on my computer and
see who e-mailed me today. I get so excited when I see how
many friends I have. I get to hear about their lifestyle
and about their families. They tell me about their vacations
and most of all, we talk about how our Heavenly Father blesses
us with his love and care.
We exchange prayer request and talk of our favorite Bible
verses. It is always uplifting because God uses His children
to bless each other and He somehow gives us the right words
to say that is needed.
I have not met Mr. Ryte yet. However, I have had several good
friends that are still friends. It is not all peachy because
I had two or three men who wanted to move in with me. But, my
heart is set on getting used to those that I will spend eternity
with. I have many many good friends on Big Church that encourage
me and make my days happy. My PC crshed the other day and It
was the same effect an when my car has a problem. My friends
on Big Church add a greater diminsion to my life.

| droodles said Hi, Just thought you would like to know, and to thank you,
for helping me to find my soulmate, and future wife......
We became engaged in March, when I travelled from Australia
to Ohio to meet her. We had emailed each other for over a year,
after I read her profile, and thought what an interesting
lady.... and I wasn't disappointed. We thank God for
putting us into the life of the other. He certainly knew
what we needed and our situations, and he worked through
them, with us, until we knew we were meant to be. Now we face
the rest of our lives together, knowing we are with the one
that God has specially selected for us. I personally would
like to thank all the ladies I have communicated with.......
for each lady taught me something, that helped me develop
into the man that she desired.....we are to be married in
August. Again, I thank you!!! Droodles and Nancy55

 | Watcher2 said I joined sometime in February and never really looked at
it that often, except in the first few days. Then I noticed
someone who had added me to their favorites. I liked the
idea of being a favorite, based only on what I had written, so
I emailed this person, and now we are good friends. It is
as if the Lord has His Hand in it when you are chosen by or choose
someone special. My friend is really special to me, and
there is so much potential for a stronger relationship
to God and with each other that the beauty of it brings tears
to my eyes. I am going to see him in about six weeks, and we
are very excited to finally meet. We have had many long conversations,
enough for me to know that this is a fine person, who I will
be happy to become closer to. I am blessed, and a blessing
to him. We both thank God every day for each other. He asked
me to write and tell of the sucess of our match. Cody, if you
are reading this, I'll be seeing you soon, and very
glad to meet you.

| Gwen63 said This time last year I had just joined BigChurch. Within
2 weeks I had starting chatting with my soulmate. Our first
online chat was 3/27/03 and our first date was 4/1/03. We
were married 8/10/03. We are perfect for each other and
are very thankful that God brought us together through
BigChurch.
