The Paine Family

One week ago, we were very blessed to be apart of the uniting of two very special people…Matt and Naomi. They have both been such an encouragement to our family during our time at the Indianapolis Training Center. Matt had served there faithfully for 12 years and Naomi arrived at the ITC about the same time that we did. It was really neat to see this whole thing come about in God’s timing and in God’s way. Our prayer is that they would truly build a foundation for many godly generations to come.

This was quite the event for our family. The wedding took place in Oshkosh, Wisconsin (about 3 hours north of Chicago). I (Chad) was up in the Northwoods at the time, so I came down to Oshkosh and the rest of my family came up. Many of us had the honor to take part in this special event. Johnny was the ring bearer (he did a great job!). Thomas, Nate, and myself were ushers. Tabitha was the coordinator for the order of events and Abby and Brielle handed out the bulletins (or whatever you call them =). To end it all, Tabitha and all of us, down to Brielle, played bells. It was an exciting time, full of action and memories. Numerous people came to the wedding that we had not seen for a while…it was like one big ITC reunion! It was a blessing for sure.

This time will be a wonderful memory in our families hearts and minds. We look forward to seeing what God is going to do through the testimony of Matt and Naomi Stewart.
