Corey and Abigail met in April 2022. A month prior, the Lord spoke to Corey to move back to New York from Miami, Florida. On his way moving up to New York, he stopped by a Christian conference hosted by Global Awakening ministries in Woodbridge, Virginia. Abigail was at this conference and little did she know that she was about to meet her godly (and sweet & handsome) husband!

During a morning prayer meeting at that conference, Corey and Abigail happened to be standing next to one another. The leader of the prayer group encouraged everyone to match up with a partner. The Holy Spirit is the best matchmaker - woo! Corey and Abigail began to share with one another all of the great things that God was doing in their regions. During that weekend, Corey asked Abigail to join him and his friends for lunch - and she said yes! Something that will become a theme here… :)

After exchanging contacts, Corey and Abigail began to connect long-distance… And that’s when true love was formed! Corey and Abigail often had five-hour long phone conversation where they talked about the Lord, got to know each other, and always made each other laugh. Corey began to visit Abigail where she lived in Atlantic City, New Jersey - driving 3 1/2 hours each way just to spend a day with her! Their love continued to blossom and Corey eventually moved down to Atlantic City, New Jersey from Poughquag, New York.
