My husband and I met on Big Church back in March of 2003. When I read his profile, I said out loud, "You want me, I am the woman for you. Pick me, pick me!" LOL. Well he did! We didn't live that far from each other and so we met in person about 10 days later at a coffee shop and talked for four hours and it was love at first sight. We married in January 2004 and spent our first Valentine's Day together as husband and wife. We both had been previously married and had children and our family has blended amazingly well. I didn't move from my home until June so that my children could finish out their school year with their friends, but this also gave time for our children to get to know each other better on the weekends. It was the right decidsion to make for our children and I do not regret it at all. It has been an amazing journey. Here it is 10 years later from when we first met and I love him more and more each day. I am so thankful that God brought us together. He is the man of my dreams and truly everything he said in his profile that he was.

I USE TO BE A DRUNK AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERED BUT TO DRINK.FOR A LONG TIME I WAS A THORN IN MY FAMILYS SIDE I HAD LOST MY JOB, MY KIDS AND MY HOME. DRINKING MADE ME HOMELESS AND HOPELESS. I ENDED UP AT THE SALVATION ARMY AND WENT TO MY FIRST AA MEETING. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE, I JUST WANTED TO DIE. THEN SOMEONE IN THE KITCHEN STARTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT BILL WILSON AND AA AND HOW IT CHANGED THEIR LIFE. SO I STARTED GOING TO AA MEETINGS AND MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME. I FOUND A GOD OF MY OWN UNDERSTANDING AND HE LOVES ME UNCONDITIONALY. NOW I HAVE 13YRS AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN MY LIFE I KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL AND HIS PLAN WAS NOT FOR ME TO DIE BUT TO LIVE THROUGH HIM, WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT, I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED FROM THE PIT OF HELL AND TRANSFURED TO THE SUNLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT. NOW I HELP OTHERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR WAY AND MY RECOVERY IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS AND I KNOW NOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRUELY HAPPY AND FREE FROM GUILT AND SHAME BECAUSE HE TAKES OUR SIN FAR AS EAST IS TO WEST. WHO KNEW THAT THIS RECOVERED DRUNK COULD BE LIKE BRAND NEW AND HAVE A SECOND CHANCE IN THIS LIFE. I AM SO GRATEFUL AND IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE A DREAM NOW. I AM SO GLAD THAT GOD WOKE ME UP WHEN HE DID BECAUSE I WOULD BE MISSING OUT ON SO MANY BLESSINGS. I SEE HIM WORK IN OTHER PEOPLES LIVES AND JUST FILLS ME WITH SUCH JOY. I KNOW, REALLY KNOW THAT HE WILL NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE AND I WILL HOLD HIS HAND ON MY JOURNEY!

i had absolutely no faith in men or relationships after my divorce but then a friend suggest i try bigchurch.com and then at least i would be meeting some like minded souls rather than the usual losers who trampled all over me on a saturday night. i saw one guy i liked the look of and the rest just happened.....he is now relocating to be nearer to me so we can see how things progress we talk on the phone almost every day and are planning our future together. hebrews 11 v 1

In March 2008 I opened a profile here in Big church, After two months here I thought that I was wasting my time, that I would not find anybody here, after a while I decided to delete my profile from this site, but something in my heart told me to wait a little bit longer, which I did. In May 24, 2008 I received an email from someone, in Puerto Rico, which surprise me quite a bit, I thought that dating someone out of state was a waste of time, because I never believe in long distance relationship, but for my surprise, this guy, was persistant, He try his best to win my heart, Two days later we exchanged email address, and start talking on Yahoo, after two months talking and getting to know each other, He decided to travel to my hometown in Massachusetts on July 22, 2008. On July 27, 2008 we got engaged, and we are getting married in June 2009. Am very happy, enjoying my engagament, and my relationship with my fiance, He is a wonderful man, everything that I needed in a man, I thanks God first of all, because he gave me the man I needed the most, and secondly I thanks BigChurch, because if wouldnt be for your site, I wouldnt never find happiness...God Bless u all....

Once a time I have a cheerful family of 3 members. My father was a village doctor and my mother was a idle housewife. In 1993 when I had just passed S.S.C suddenly we fall in a falls case and my father arrested by police. And after some days me to arrested by police. After few days I get gamin but I stopped my education and now I understood that was my great mistake. After one year my father proved crime by court and he had thrown to jail by court for 32 years and that's moment my mother lost her imaginary and now she is out of my control even I don't know where is she now. She always runs door to door and she don't want to believe anyone.

In 1995 I had got married to find out just for peach, but my misfortune don't help me. After few days I had gotten a large family of 5 members with my 3 kids. I had fallen a great economic problem. I was an unemployed person. One of my best friend name DELIP (always he helpful to me) suggest me to learn about photography from his uncle. From then I have learn about photography and now am a small still photographer. In 1997 I had build a photo studio but that's time my earn was too limit and my expense was too more. In a few days am fall in great poverty and very tired to bear my family. That's time I feel there haven't any way without suicide. But from my childhood I had knew about JESUS and have a good concept about Christian. I thought most of real Christians are helpful to each other. On that's believe I had went to church at BORODAL in Ashasune thana to meet with Christians. But really I didn't knew anyone in there. Firstly I meet with there's gatekeeper named KANTO and I asked to him how many foreign Christians Fr. there have? He told me there have only one Italian religion and if I need to talk with him of course I need any identity by any other Bengali Christian religion. But that's time I didn't knew like that any. So I had requested to him to give him a latter what's I had written to him in Bangla. After few minutes he called me and that was first I had meet with any foreigner. I give him respect just by a word NAMASKER! But really he had talked with me too frankly and made me too easy with him. He asked to me some about mine. Now am happy for his help.

Actually always I had believed a word that's Kindness/Forgiveness etc words are capture by means of dictionary. These are not combination with real. Actually reality is merciless. Fight with these names life but after knowing him me had proved that was wrong. From then always related with him. Actually my all existence would not be possible without his presence on my life. Now am happy in the world and always thaking God for present his nice gift to me.

God is good. I joined BigChurch about three weeks ago and to my amazement met someone on the site within 2 days of joining. We met up 5 days later. He made an approx. 300 mile round trip to meet and take me to dinner. Almost the first thing he said on meeting me (when we managed to stop laughing at what was happening)was, "you look even better than your pic". Do they all say that??.

The first date could not have gone any smoother, conversation flowed, there was a definite attraction on both sides and we both love God passionately.

I invited him in for coffee after dinner and chatted into the early hours of the morning. As he was leaving, we agreed that we would meet later that morning and spend the day together. (we had originally only planned the Friday eve. and had made no plans for, nor had we discussed Saturday) In any case, the following day was just perfect. We strolled on Blackheath, (for those of you who are not farmiliar with these places, pls google)then on to Greenwich, did the markets, Cutty Sark, strolled along the river and lunched in a pub overlooking the river. We then went to the o2 @ the Millenium Dome, after which, we collected my daughter and went bowling, then a meal. Spent another evening talking and praying till 3.30 in the morning. He stayed over and left on Sunday morning as I was leaving for church. We've been in daily txt, email and telephone contact since. I have been introduced to his sister over the telephone and as far as I understand, he has told his friends about me and our wk'end and they are happy for him. He has extended an invitation from his General Manager, for dinner with him and his wife (is this too early to be meeting friends and family?) I am due to be visiting him for a couple of days next wk (God willing). We are both, very much, looking forward to seeing each other again. We are praying that God has his way with this relationship and that we put him before all else.

I have always been sceptical about online meeting/dating sites but, thanks to BigChurch, not anymore.

I pray that God will bless other members in their search.

I joined bigchurch a second time towards the end of March 2008, as last attempt searching for a soulmate online. This was after I was deceived by a man I met on this same site in July 2007. I did it very reluctantly, but promised myself that after this, no more. I have met a lot of ungodly men on this site, but the success stories of a few single ladies about finding a life partner through on line dating spurred me on to re-register again on this site. This time I was led to not restrict any matching profile accessing me by email. To God's glory, as am writing now, I met Francis with whom I will be joined in holy matrimony in August this year. The whole thing sounds strange but deep down it is so real and amazing. I want to thank my spiritual motivator, Bob Gass (writer of the word for today)who encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, things am used to, in order to get the expected blessing from God. At this time in my life the no. expectation is 'a God fearing man' for marriage. Due to some personal and societal reasons, it is not easy finding like minded males in a church or other places of interaction for marriage relationship. This now comfirmes to me that in deed, God works in mysterious ways , His wonders to perform. I want to say thank you to bigchurch for being used by God to answer my prayer for a life partner. But I must request that effort should be stepped up to hinder godless men and cassanovers from joining christain site like this. I hope to encourage sisters and brothers not to give up, but to be open and wise in their search for a life partner believing that God 'who works in mysterious ways to perform His wonders' will one day give them answers to their to prayers.

Well I came here to this site so that I may be able to give my testimony and to let others know that God of Heaven and Earth is here for judgement and to reclaim the Earth. I have been able to leave blogs of work that God of Heaven and Earth has supplied me with. I am one to just get God of Heaven and Earth's Word out to His people. So that they may repent, be baptisted in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and come back to Him now!!

I have already submitted a brief summary of someone I met on this site. I want to add that her name is Sue and we are meeting again for the second time next month. We are both very happy together, very much in love, although 500 miles apart (at present).

Thank you Big Church for being the vehicle for me and Sue meeting - now we have to work at the relationship with God at the centre.

I will be coming off BC when my present subscription runs out next month. There is no need for me to remain on it. I encourage all those searching to keep searching - in God's time you will find who it is you are looking for - his choice is perfect.

In the meantime make some great friends like i did and just be patient! I thought time was right but God never makes mistakes!It took me a year and a half - it took Sue a matter of a few months and I was the first one she had met seriously.

God Bless

I bounced upon BigChurch about two months ago , frantically looking for a man I could call my husband , legally. I am just surprised at the caliber of men who have winked at me so far and I have not yet upgraded to premium membership. The friends network is simply GREAT. I have met friends which I would not have met walking down the streets. I am very thankful to this network. Even though I have not yet been proposed to. I know that it would be in the near future. Thanks to your superb work.

Thank You BigChurch for giving me a safe place to share what God has done in my life with others to bring hope in a hopeless world we live in!

The very fact that I am here and not dead or in a mental institution is a success in itself. I had a very difficult childhood and started doing drugs, drinking and partying as early as 12 years. I had no supervision and was left to find out about life on my own. My brothers were taken away when I was too young to remember. How I managed not to be taken away is beyond me. I started skipping school in the second grade. I was very smart and I would miss anywhere from 20 to 30 days every school year and I still made straight A's. I had major self-worth issues growing up. Let me say this. If God can break down the walls and help me to see my worth through His eyes, He can do it for anyone. God is still doing a work in my life and I am forever THANKFUL He hasn't given up on me. I am finally learning what it means to feel LOVED!!! Life isn't easy by no means. Wrap your arms around the neck of Jesus and allow Him to carry you and you will find A PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING! I learned this when my first husband was killed in an auto accident. My world as I knew it forever changed and the only way I survived it was in His Arms and pouring out my heart, tears and all! I have wanted to give up so many times and say what's the point, but God has a plan for my life and He will bring beauty from all the pain.

Some years ago radio evangelist Charles E. Fuller announced that he would speak the following Sunday on "Heaven." It was to be broadcast on radio. During that week he received a letter from an elderly gentleman who was very ill. Here is part of that letter: "Next Sunday you are to talk about 'Heaven.' I am interested in that land because I have held a clear title to a bit of property there for over 55 years. I did not buy it. It was given to me without money and without price. But the donor purchased it for me at a tremendous sacrifice. I am not holding it for speculation since the title is nontransferable. It is not a vacant lot. "For more than a half-century I have been sending material out of which the greatest architect and builder of the universe has been building a home for me, which will never need to be repaired because it will suit me perfectly, individually, and will never grow old. "Termites can never undermine its foundation for it rests upon the Rock of Ages. Fire cannot destroy it. Floods cannot wash it away. No locks or bolts will ever be placed upon its doors, for no vicious person can ever enter that land where my dwelling stands, now almost completed and ready for me to enter it and abide in peace eternally without fear of being ejected. "There is a valley of deep shadow between the place where I live in California and that to which I shall journey in a very short time. I cannot reach my home in the City of God without passing through the dark valley of shadows. But I am not afraid, because the best friend that I have ever had went through the same valley alone, a long, time ago and drove away all the gloom. He has stuck by me through thick and thin since we first met and became acquainted 55 years ago, and I hold His promise in printed form, never to forsake nor to leave me alone. He will be with me as I walk through the valley of shadows, and I shall not lose my way when He is with me. "I hope to hear your sermon on "Heaven" next Sunday from my home, but I have no assurance that I shall be able to do so. My ticket to heaven has no date marked for the journey... no return coupon... and no permit for baggage. Yes, I am ready to go and we will meet you there.

BigChurch Staff, I have had an Aw'some time here on my stay, this site gets you out of the box so to say. Out into the life other then the home town fellowship, a wide veraity of people, opinion's, giving the taste of God and Jesus. In the lifes of Christians through out the land of God's creation, the world we live in. In our little world there can be a peace within, a God given peace. I have learned so much more about myself and where I'm at with myself alot of understanding I don't think I could have gotten without a site like BigChurch. Getting out of that Box taking a suggestion from a friend. I will be leaving soon and taking alot of knowlage with me, time to get it's getting comfy. Your charter says it all "Bring people together in Faith". My prayer's are with you all, my hat is off to Ya, thank You for the experience. Keep up the good work for the Lord, Your brother in Christ Jesus, Dev

BigChurch has people who care! People who will go "there" for another. There are people who aren't afraid to say what is on their heart and mind. I am new to the whole on-line personals scene and can honestly say, WOW. The opinions of some of the blogs, articles and profiles are just amazing. I have learned so much about myself and how I want to be veiwed just by reading and chatting with BigChurch people. I view this site probably 7 to 10 times a day. The people are great and I will keep on logging on and refer all my Christian friends to log on as well. Keep up the praise and glory people. WOW. KDee1000

It was June 4th of 2006 at 8:00 pm Pacific Mountian Time. I had given up on ever finding the real thing when it came to love. I was ready to say good-bye to Big Church and all. But I decided that night to go in to the friendship room one last time to say good-bye to all my friends when I meet my soulmate Proofwriter06 . I knew right away that there was something special about him and that I never wanted to be without him in my life. Me and him started talking and I went to Tucson AZ to meet him on August 10th, 2006 and realized when he kissed me that day that this was the real thing and that he was God's special someone for me. And when I left Tucson on August 15th, 2006 I truely felt as if I left my heart and soul in Tucson on that day. He is coming to Spokane to meet my Parents and family for thanksgiving. I look forward to sharing the rest of my life with this man and loving him and honoring him as I should.

I met this Girl named Gladys and Immediately I thought she might be like everyone else that when you write to them they don't answer. So I said to myself, well I'll give it a try . I did and I started to talk to her and it appears she was looking for the same things I was looking for. We kept on talking and talking and talking and we hit it off from the first start and I said WOW !!!! can this really be happening ??????She totally blew my mind off. I love her and we are doing very very good together. Now I can say after so many years of searching thank you big church for helping me find the one. I feel so happy about it that when we do get married I will let you know ok. Bye for now. THANK YOU BIG CHURCH for giving me a opportunity of a life time.

My wife died after a two year battle with breast cancer. This left me with three small children ages 4, 6 and 9. Dating is hard enough, but with three children it's even harder. I know plenty of you understand that. It takes time to get to know someone; and you don't have that kind of time with children.

I didn't know when I would find someone, but I knew that eventually it would happen. And I knew it would be easier if I wasn't just counting on randomly running into someone. So I started to search for Christian based dating sites.

I signed up on BigChurch and over the course of a few months I had email conversations with several people here. For the most part they were not in my local area, and eventually the emails would stop. Then I received an email that changed my life.

1000 miles away a wonderful woman had noticed that I read her profile, so she read mine. And then she wrote to me. I was blown away by her letter. She had obviously really read what I had written. And when she wrote back there was so much thought and depth, so much of herself, in what she wrote.

She made comments in that first letter based on things I had written in my profile. She shared things from her life that tied in to things in mine. Her words expressed her humor and her faith in what she wrote. She was so joyful and energetic. Her enthusiasm was awesome.

One of the things that really got my attention was the way she wrote. There was nothing sloppy or careless ... nothing rushed. Her grammar and spelling were both excellent. That and the content of her letter showed that she cared about what she wrote ... that she wasn't just slapping out quick emails to people. It also showed a certain level of intelligence and command of the English language. With three small children it would be nice to have someone around that could help with the homework at least!

The power of this type of a service is that you have a way of filtering some of the things you want and don't want. You can choose who you want to respond to. You can look for quality without having to go through quantity.

I love her, my children love her, and we are getting married next summer. I could say more, but will just say thank you BigChurch!

The day after I turned 40, , my life changed completely. I was surfing on BC and saw this guy and decided to just chat with him. We chatted, ,, and very quickly it was apparent that we had alot in common. We both loved to laugh, and his sense of humor made me laugh constantly. We chatted for a couple months and in sept 2005, we decided to meet. So he flew here and we hit it off. He traveled here a few times and then at christmas I went there to meet his three children. We were a family. To make a long story short, ,, , November 2006, we officially became a family when we were married, including the kids in the wedding. I had given up hope, till that day. And now, have never been happier, , thanks BC

I had finally given up. There were no datable decent guys on Big Church. After another failed attempt with another guy who was not who he said he was, I was through with online all together. I switched my profile to friends and resigned myself to finding someone the old fashioned way. Dating 1000 people and hoping one of them works out. Then I was contacted by a guy that I thought would be a nice friend, a methodist pastor named Ephesians. Little did I know that that man would be the best boyfriend I have ever had and in future will be the best husband I could of even imagined. God knew what he was doing when he put us together, we are total opposites but work beautifully together. I cant wait to spend the rest of my life with this man and it never would of happened if I hadnt given up and then opened up to a "new friend".

Late Dec 2004 both myself and My Soulmate joined BigChurch.com - we were 2, 000 miles apart at the time, and living in different Countries.

On Jan 5th I saw her Profile and immediately sent an email to this Special Lady. She responded back and from that point onward we connected Wonderfully.

Although she had her email filter set to block anybody more than 60 miles away, God had planned for us to meet. She chose to "check my message out" and from that day forward we have connected everyday

We both were believing to find a Parnter that would love us and Love God. Without BigChurch we would have never met. We are working through the immigration process for her to move to Canada, but we enjoy "The BEST" by talking and praying together each night.

By October 2005 we got engaged and were married December 16th, 2005 in California.

We enjoy a unity, Love, Peace, and Purpose in God, and we look forward to living together in the fall of 2006.

God made us with "no mistakes", we have purpose and design and I can truly say that My Wife and I were "made for each other" and we are excited about living life, and serving God together.

Here's some advice -- no guesswork.Trust God, Step Out in Faith, and trust God to show you, and then be "Godly Together" -- the Result will be HIS Blessing upon your friendship and a BLESSED future life together.

LADIES, don't settle for a Guy with a Remote Control surgically implanted in his hand...don't shortchange yourself for the sake of Companionship (unless you just want someone to share popcorn with). Listen and watch for any flags - He should take the Lead in Godliness.

MEN-Your home should have Peace and you should have unity with your wife, but that only comes if you LOVE HER above all else - don't miss the boat on this - it's God's design for MEN TO LOVE THEIR WIFE...UNCONDITIONALLY, LIKE CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH...Never Forsaking, always Faithful to Her.(She'll respect you and take care of you for Loving Her this way)

All the Best to Everyone using BigChurch...we will always remember "Where WE first Met" as we look back over all our happy memories together.

Yours Truly, okguy58 AND OptimisticOne Brent and Janet

Thank the Lord for Big Church and its efforts in providing opportunities for Christian singles to meet their soul mate. I can not thank you enough, with God's grace and guidience, I have found my friend, lover, and soulmate for life. Leslie and I have so much in common and have already begun building our life together. May God bless Big Church and all those that work to ensure that Christians have a positive way to meet someone. I was very skeptical about meeting someone online, and for that matter on a dating website. I can now say that God works miracles in mysterious ways, and this has been by far the most unique opportunity that I have experienced in my dating life. Nobody can ever tell me that you can not find love and find your soulmate online or though a dating service. Thanks again and my God Bless your works and may God Bless Big Church.

Hello everybody !!!

On Feb./7/2005 I met a very special guy on-line. By next sunday we got our 1st date and one week later our 1st kiss. After that our relationship started growing and we just couldn't stop seeing each other everyday. After lots of praying we got married 10 months after we met, on Dec./17/2005.

This is by far the most wonderful blessing God have gave us.

Thank you BigChurch.com !!!

Blessings, Kristta and DjaliZwan23

In March of 2003, not too long after I joined Big Church, I had this idea to search the profiles for guys in my area to see if any were still in contact with Big Church. To my suprise, Decumanus replied to me the day after I sent him a note. We agree to meet up, but since his profile mentioned he had a son, I asked if he would be willing to bring his son with him. To make a long story short, we were married on April 30, 2006. Thank you Big Church for allowing us to meet!

About 2 and a1/2 years ago I met a Christian lady through chats at BC.And we soon learned, that we both loved God above all else.We let God make the decisions in our lives. I then proposed to her, and she accepted in Feb 2004. In Feb of 2005 I travelled to Germany, and we got married by city-hall.Our next step was to introduce my bride to Canada, so we spent our first Christmas as a married couple in Canada. She returned to Germany in late january 2006, to finalize a lot of "Red-Tape", and is returning to Canada for good on May 19/06. And we will have a Candle-light church wedding on Jul 8th/2006, after which we will tour extensively (about three months) through Canada and the US. (No this is not a honeymoon, as our honeymoon started the day we got engaged-28Feb 04 and will cease, when The Father calls us home.) As I have my own office within the church I serve (Baptist), I am preparing myself, and my wife for the job ahead--I am in the process, through prayers, to accept a Pastor's position in Western Kentucky , USA.And joyfully, we will serve our Lord. I was once asked by a fellow pastor, who at age 65 retired from his church, to enjoy life, and his words were to me : Karl, when will you retire and enjoy life?" I replied:"I enjoy life serving our Lord and I retire, when He calls me home." I like to close with a few simple words of advice to all my Christian friends at BC. "The couples, who pray together--stay together." and as I love to evangelize , here is a quote, that I wrote in 1999--"It never rains believers, so if you want to gain believers, you have to plant the seeds." I am joyful to serve Him, I am Rev.Dr. Iam4Messiah

I did want to let you know that YES-GOD can truly work through even this!!! Ha ha. I got on Big Church perhaps end of November, beginning of December and DID NOT GET ON TO FIND A MATE- or even a date. In fact, I put for friendship and/or penpal in my profile!

I was at a broken part of my life and merely looking for people to talk to who believed in God. Period!

Quickly found the "Blog" area--- and began writing. & TRUST ME ON THIS ONE---- from beginning to current, God bringing this together is extremely well documented in my "imavessel" blog!

I started out saying the Lord already had my mate covered. "Someone was coming & coming just for me". Agh- true. -But- in this case, the Lord used BigChurch as the vehicle.

So thank you! & To all the great friends I have made here: WOW, Look what the Lord has done!!!

Looking for Love in all the wrong places? Well I have all my life as I was always going by my will instead of God's will. I have met my soul mate on here and it only took less than a week. This is a much better site than I could imagine. The name says it all! Big Church. I met Scott on March 17th, 2006 after our first phone call of 5 hours and 12 min. The first time he spoke to me, I knew we were ment to be together on this earth and in heaven. He feeds me spiritually, emotionally and mentally. He is my best friend, thanks to God. We are now engaged to be married on June 3rd, 2006. Ya, count the days! When it is in God's will, nothing is impossible. My children needed a loving father and his girls needed a loving mother. Everything has clicked from the very first wink. Amen. The one and only thing I can comment on, which to me is the most important, is when a person lives in the fear of God, only then can he present his miracles to us. I pray for all who is serching for that special someone to enter into your life. All is well, all is as it need to be. Be patient and wait for him to bring you your answers and your partner in Christ.

Ill health had confined me to my flat and being a people person I wanted to interact, enter the internet and Big Church.My frist day I met Ian and we exchanged a few e-mails on Big Church staying safe. Soon we were talking via a computer programme logging 4 hours a conversation and at times 6 hours a day. Both of us had entered Big Church with our focus on the Lord and seeking Him above all else and as we shared our hearts, life stories, and experiences of faith in Jesus Christ; the level of relationship deepened. We were hampered from meeting because of parental care responsibilities until God impressed upon me the need to pray that he would invite me down over New Years 2006. I prayed through one weekend in December and on the 19th, after he met with a friend to pray, as we talked, that night, he asked me to come and spend at least a week over New Years. We had a wonderful week and knew that it was God's handiwork. We ordered the engagement ring and I got on the coach to return home. Several miles later I knew I was ill and could not continue the journey. Ian came for me and we continued the God-centered process of getting to know one another. The ring we ordered that was to take 3 weeks arrived in 3 days and on 9 January over a candlelight dinner he asked if I would marry him. Not even a viral cold could dampen our joy.

In a few days we will be moving me south to live in his flat while he lives in our flat. We have a vow of celibacy before God until our wedding day on 8 April, 2006 and we want that clear to all whose lives we touch. We have two Bible passages which we believe God has written as the banner over our relationship. Matthew 6:33 & Proverbs 3:5, 6.

God is a God of loving surprises, as we both know. We each joined Big Church to hopefully encourage others and He has encouraged us with each other at the ages of 61 (me) and 67 (Ian.) Seeking Him first has brought us to each other that we may better serve Him, surrounded by His love flowing through each other. We are remaining on Big Church to continue encouraging others to seek Him first and allow Him to open the doors to relationships with a special person.

COMMENT: I have met my Soul Mate from your website & I thank you! We are so compatible it's almost unbelievable because we have wonderful chemisty together.

I truly believe that this was God's way of connecting us; both of our prayers have been answered!

We have lived in the same area of town for years & justed missed each other in everything that we've done over the years & we would have probably never met if it had not been for BigChurch.com.

I am a true believer that this really works & a great way to connect with someone who shares the same goals in life.

Thank you very much & I will contact you regarding our wedding date. He has already stated that I will be his wife & I know he will make the perfect husband.

He is focused & striving for perfection in every aspect of life plus we are evenly yoked. He's a nice, kind & understanding man that's strong enough to keep me grounded... an let's not forget good with children & has a tight relationship with God.

We are willing to advertise for your site in the future if ever needed.

Whatsup04 is the true Mate for me!

Thanks again BIGCHURCH I recommend your site as highly effective & efficient.

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!

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. January, 11th, 2006

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

Rich and I met en BigChurch in August of 2004 and we had been writing and talking on the phone for three months. In Novembre he went to visit me in my country. After we met other three times in Brazil. Now I was in USA, and we are marriage, and very happy of course. God had been our shepherd day by day. We had trusted in this word "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart". Thanks to Bigchurch teem.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

God bless you all! Margie
