GOD SAVES

Jared and Rachel both began college at Washington State University in the fall of 2018. While struggling through their first months of "adulthood", they both became involved in an on-campus church called "Resonate". Individually they decided to make Christ the center of their lives and to discover how to to follow after him with their hearts, souls, and minds. Jared and Rachel found themselves embraced by a family of believers in missional community groups called "villages".

This entire time they happened to live in the same dorm and walk past the same buildings every single day, never noticing each other. Fast forward to that December, these two finally find each other, sitting across a table at Red Robin after a hockey game which both their villages attended together as a bonding trip. Jared began the flirting right away, leading with, "How many baskets of bottomless fries do you think I can eat?".

GOD GIVES GOOD GIFTS

After attending a mission trip together that next summer and doing ministry alongside each other in similar social circles, Jared and Rachel became fast and deep friends. Jared eventually came to the conclusion he had feelings for this gal which would not, and will not go away. COVID hit soon after making the decision to ask Rachel on a date, and a global pandemic couldn't hold him back. They began dating in the spring of 2020, which was a season most treasured by them both as the gift of getting to know each others hearts, passions, burdens, and steadfast love for the Lord.

CHRIST BE MAGNIFIED

Now as they soak in the season of engagement, they are growing in their excitement to merge their lives together for the multiplication of God's glory! Jared is currently beginning in his role as full-time college minister with Resonate Church, building a network of financial supporters in order to go onto WSU's campus to make disciples effectively for God's glory. Rachel is a teacher in the infant room at Little Edison's School in Pullman while working towards obtaining her master's degree in secondary English education. Jared and Rachel are ecstatic for the upcoming stage that is to come that will be challenging and refining, yet oh so joyous! It is their prayer that the way they love each other would be the greatest reflection of the way they have found that God loves them.
