HAPPILY and OFFICIALLY MARRIED

After having met Jessa in October 2023, I was immediately impressed by her strong and unwavering faith in God despite having overcome so much adversity including her father drowning at sea and her mother's home burning down. Jessa's love, devotion and support for me has always been remarkable. When Jessa told me in October 2023, "I will LOVE you FOREVER" time has proven her confession to be true through life's twists, turns, ups and downs.

Jessa's AMAZING LOVE has given me great JOY, PEACE and STRENGTH. Prophetess Cindy Jacobs told me 2 years ago "God was going to blindside me and send me a wife who would love me with all her heart and go with me wherever I want to go." Therefore I proposed to Jessa in May 2024 after her birthday mid-month and then in October 2024 we took our five hour pre-marriage seminar in Cebu, Philippines and began the extensive documentation process to be married.

Among the ENDLESS PROCEDURES we had to endure and MANY DOCUMENTS we had to gather to obtain a marriage license in the blessed Philippines and stand before the honorable Cebu City judge in November to be married were: our birth certificates, passports, bio page, CENOMAR, notarized divorce documents, barangay certificate, marriage application form, legal capacity contract notarized by the United States Consulate, pre-marriage counseling certificate, two valid IDs, and court approved appointment (which typically can entail two months of waiting).

Upon going to the Cebu City courthouse on November 26, 2024 to request a date for a judge to preside over our wedding ceremony, we were initially told; we would have to wait until January 2025. Upon requesting an earlier date, we were informed Thursday, THANKSGIVING DAY and PAUL'S BIRTHDAY, was available. Therefore, two days later, we were happily married. Yet due to the MANY CHALLENGES mentioned before and hereafter (some still ongoing and a work in progress) we delayed sharing all of these WONDERFUL MIRACLES and EVENTS, but now are ready to do so (as SUFFERING has turned to CELEBRATION).

On Wednesday March 5, 2025, after a five-and-a-half hour wait, we were able to pick up our OFFICIAL MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) located in the thriving urban center of Colon, Cebu City, Philippines.

I am scheduled to leave March 10th from Cebu, Philippines to Zengzhou, China and begin working at Sias University as a Professor of World Health and Environmental Health. Now Jessa is organizing her many documents for the China Consulate in Cebu to obtain her spouse visa to join me in mainland China. The documents Jessa needs to obtain her visa include: National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance notarized by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Passport, Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, newlywed photos, spouse work permit, residence permit, employment contract, employment certificate, medical exam, visa application form and fee, photo, ID, invitation letter, bank documents and certificate of deposit.

Based on this extensive PAPER PUSHING experience, I think we can easily begin a DOCUMENT SERVICE company anywhere in the world, should we ever wish to do so; after having navigated the many legal nuances of marriage and immigration in multiple nations thus far.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR US as the CHALLENGES of IMMIGRATION and GLOBAL NAVIGATION are real and ongoing. We shall need much GRACE, PATIENCE, PEACE, PERSEVERANCE and MANY MIRACLES to sustain us going forward as we endeavor to TRAVEL the WORLD together and share the WORDS of LIFE to uplift humanity and fulfill our destiny.

Thank you for your kind, loving, ongoing PRAYERFUL SUPPORT
