Our Love Story

A Love Story Written by God


On August 27, 2023, during the 29th Anniversary Celebration of JIL Church La Union at San Juan Gymnasium, San Juan, La Union, brother Paul and sister Melit first met through an unexpected encounter involving 50 colored brooms intended as gifts for the guests. A simple misunderstanding over the brooms led to a brief disagreement, which eventually ended with sister Melit offering an apology.


Little did they know that this seemingly ordinary encounter would mark the beginning of something beautiful. What started as a simple acquaintance gradually blossomed into friendship.

Steadfast in service from 2024 through 2026, by God’s grace, sis Melit went with Rev. Elma Gabriel and other brethren on various visits and activities in Bagulin, where bro Paul serves as municipal coordinator of the JILChurch, Bagulin, La Union. Through these opportunities, their friendship deepend as they shared moments of fellowship and service in God’s ministry.


In His perfect time, what began as an unexpected meeting grew into a meaningful relationship founded on friendship, faith, and a shared love for serving God. Eventually, they realized that they were meant to walk through life together.

And so, what started with a simple misunderstanding over 50 colored brooms became a beautiful testimony of God's grace and perfect timing—a love story written not by chance, but by God's wonderful plan.
