About Us : Our Story
Andy's Account
I first met her around mid-2002. She was a student from Hong Kong that had somehow made her way half-way across the world to our Church's Bible study class; held at the same place that we would one day exchange our vows - Hurstville Baptist Church.
Being the kind and beautiful person that she is, it was hard for anyone not to like her. And I praised God when I realised that she felt the same affection towards me. Truly, being together with her made me feel complete. But sadly, being together also meant being apart for the immediate future.
We knew right from the start that having a long distance relationship would be a difficult thing, despite the technological advancements in communication. But we had faith in each other since Day 1 and by God's neverending supply of grace, it has worked out wonderfully!
Although being physically apart most of the time over these years, we have been through so many things together as a couple. She was with me as I went through periods of job unstability and gave me loving support when I met other hurdles in life. In the same way, I stuck by her throughout her years at uni and shared in her joy when she found her first job.
Our wedding date is now ever so close, and I am eagerly awaiting the day when we are no longer apart. I anticipate with much excitement our new life together, in the future that the Lord God holds in His hands.

Recalling that day when I prayed to the Lord Jesus, I prayed that I wanted to have a God-fearing husband. I never expected to meet this person, nor that we could ever be together. The pictures of him playing guitar to me and praying with me under the Sydney Harbour Bridge still remains vivid in my mind.
Since I was still studying in Hong Kong, it was not easy to keep our relationship. Nevertheless, the Lord Jesus helped me – someone who needs security very much, to get security from this guy. Although we were separated, it did not affect our communication. On the contrary, this separation made us treasure each other very much.
Because of the grace of the Lord Jesus, He is going to create a new chapter in our love story. When I think of the moment he proposed to me by the lake, I really feel blessed. I was touched by his promise too. I am so looking forward to spending my whole life with him.
Our story doesn't end here. We are still seeking the Lord Jesus to show us our path. Yet, I believe that everything is in His hands. I am sure that He will direct our path.
I really hope that we could be His testimony and be used by Him. Amen!
