Our Story
How it all began
Mercy walked into Victor’s apartment that day to catch up with an old school friend who happened to be his housemate. Victor had one simple assignment: be polite to the guest. Mercy’s plan was just as simple: see her friend and go about her day. Neither of us expected that an ordinary visit would become the beginning of our story.
Victor found himself drawn to Mercy’s warmth, confidence and the way she spoke about the things she cared about. Mercy noticed him too, although when her friend later revealed that Victor was interested, she naturally had to play it cool.
At some point, we exchanged contact details, and that small step opened the door to something more. One message became many, conversations became long phone calls, and somewhere between the laughter, stories, faith and late-night conversations, we realised just how much we enjoyed each other’s company.
One night, Mercy was stranded when the trains stopped running. Without hesitation, Victor arranged and paid for her taxi home and even ordered food for her so she wouldn’t go hungry. It was a simple gesture, but one Mercy never forgot. Behind the attraction, she was beginning to see a man who was thoughtful, caring and dependable.
Eventually came our first date: a whole day of talking, laughing and discovering even more reasons to stay a little longer. By then, what had started as attraction was quietly becoming friendship, and friendship was becoming something much deeper.
That unexpected visit became the beginning of our story; one that grew through laughter, long conversations, kindness, shared faith and choosing each other again and again.
And perhaps that is our favourite part: neither of us was looking for a life‑changing moment that day. Sometimes God places something extraordinary inside the most ordinary of moments.
Sometimes, all it takes is walking into the right living room at the right time.
And somehow, that becomes forever.
