On Sunday afternoon overlooking the Sydney skyline at sunset, I asked Vanessa Larkin to marry me. She graciously said, “YES!”
It was a sacred time, not only because I kissed the love of my life for the very first time, but although we have only been dating for six months, there is an undeniable sense of togetherness and joy, in not only simply being together, but in looking to our future– knowing that our marriage will be a trophy of Jesus’ extravagant love and His mighty power to save. This is a humbling, epic, and joyful time that we are thrilled to share with our incredible community of friends and family around the world.
