WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE
WEDDING?
Go
to Wedding Details to fully understand
what we share here.
Our official marriage is on May 20,
2004. Richard
will be with Carmi until May 24, then he will fly back to
Seattle.
On June 19, 2004 we will have our special
wedding ceremony with co-workers, friends, and relatives. We will be
on a honeymoon for two weeks.
On July 4, 2004 both of us will
start living in Seattle.
Richard currently lives in a studio
apartment in Seattle. Both of us will live in the studio until we
have the funds for something larger. It is our goal to obtain a two-bedroom apartment so
that Carmi's friends and relatives can stay with us for visits
and at times we will make the spare room available for emergency
housing.
Both Rich and Carmi will be ministering on
Capitol Hill as time allows. Rich currently has a cell group in
Capitol Hill and this will continue. Both Rich and Carmi are
committed to the G-12 vision that is at Kirkland Assembly of God.
It is our goal to start a discipleship
house at some point.
For those who do not know, Richard
is not a salaried minister on Capitol Hill. He volunteers many hours
a week to those living on Capitol Hill. This can be very challenging
at times in regards to finances. Even more so now. But we are
trusting God to provide a job for Carmi and that our needs will be
met.
Some have been concerned that our marriage
will conflict with our ministries. In reality, our ministries will
expand and blossom through our marriage. We are both excited to see
what God does in our life and ministry together.
