I promise to love and obey my wife/husband, to care for her/him whether in sickness or in health, whether we have much or are poor,…until death separates us” were a part of the vows the two couples took at the HUGE wedding ceremony in the Bokonzo church this past Sunday.

Pastor Gary and Momy
The Congo Covenant Church (CEUM)knows how to celebrate and celebrate they did with a 5 hour service, 2hr 50 min for the regular service followed by 2hr 10 min for the wedding service for two pastors. One couple was Pastor Gary and Momy and the second Pastor Gado and Ruth. In his address to the two couples, CEUM President Jules Mboka spoke about God’s design for marriage and how in marriage the two become one or 1 + 1 = 1. It was a good opportunity to give an important teaching to the church.
