Jessica and I got married on April 21, 2007 in St. Catharines, Ontario. The ceremony was held at the church where Jessica worked. After the reception, we flew to Edmonton, Alberta for another reception with all her friends on that side of Canada. Then we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. The week after our honeymoon we flew to El Paso, Texas where I grew up and held a wedding reception for my friends there. Then we came to Tulsa and had our fourth and final wedding reception. Since we were flying all over the place, most people did not give us gifts because they knew we would not be able to transport them. Instead, they gave us cash.
Two weeks after our wedding, we flew to Montego Bay, Jamaica to do a crusade in the Cricket Stadium. We took all the cash from our wedding receptions and used it to pay the bills for the crusade. The cost of the crusade was considerable and even after using all of our wedding money, we were still $20,000 short. To our relief, a local businessman from Jamaica walked into our crusade office and gave us a check to cover the balance.
We took a team of thirty students from Oral Roberts University with us for the crusade in Jamaica. But, since we had just gotten married a couple of weeks earlier, we did not spend much time with them. In fact, the only time we poked our heads out of the hotel rooms were when we were scheduled to preach. For the most part, we were still on our honeymoon. After preaching at the crusade, I prayed for all the people, and then I announced that I needed to leave quickly so that I could go lay hands on my wife.
