Claudia and Caleb met at a conference called, "Remnant Rising" in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, ha! Claudia was serving at the conference as a staff member of the Altar Global, the ministry putting the conference on, and Caleb was on the worship team with the guest worship leader. The really interesting thing they discovered in casual conversation was that Caleb was residing in Atlanta, Georgia where Claudia also attended Bible School back in 2012. Turns out they had more than a dozen mutual friends, leaders, and streams, yet never crossed paths until 8 years later in this entirely different state. Claudia was photographing the event amongst other responsibilities, and tagged the worship team on the pictures she posted on Instagram, including Caleb. The worship leader and a dear friend to them, Corry Robinson, had already put a bug in Caleb's ear about her. Caleb seized the opportunity and began messaging her consistently until she broke the ice and asked for his intentions ;) They spoke for the first time over the phone after running into each other at two more conferences back-to-back, and both cried on each side of the phone as they told each other their stories. They have been inseparable since! God truly ordained and orchestrated the time, place, and meeting of both their lives!

Caleb had been planning the proposal for quite some time! Caleb and Claudia were invited to Atlanta, Georgia for a worship recording. The entire day while the teams were recording back-to-back worship sets, there was another team of people setting up the proposal downstairs in the backyard. Claudia was scheduled to lead a worship set at the very end, which was all a part of the plan for Caleb to propose directly after. As soon as Claudia's worship set ended and they experienced a powerful time together in the presence of God, Pastor Kristin Jordan, brought her outside to the steps leading to the backyard. To Claudia's shocking surprise, there was an aisle runner going down the stairs leading the way to a private place around the corner, with flowers, Bibles, and candles all laid out on the floor. A photographer and videographer popped out snapping photos and recording the entire experience as Claudia followed the path that would lead to Caleb. Claudia turned the corner to find Caleb in a room in front of a beautiful circle altar, flowers, candles, and a live band singing and playing, "How He Loves Us." Caleb and Claudia both broke down crying and hugged each other long. Caleb gave a precious speech, went down on one knee, and Claudia said, "YES!" After this sacred and emotional moment, they turned around and Claudia's family walked into the room as a surprise (they drove all the way from FLORIDA that same day to be there!). The rest of the time resulted in LOTS of tears, hugs, laughter, and celebration. They ended off the night with a private dinner reservation afterwards and time with their families. This was the most exciting and beautiful day of their lives full of the presence and favor of the Lord!

Caleb and Claudia carry a resolve deep in their souls that God has called them to love Him radically and to love people wholeheartedly. Although the blueprints of their mission as a couple is still evolving, God has called each of them as individuals to be people who host the presence of God, steward revival and awakening, go to the nation and the nations, and love people (both churched and unchurched) unto wholeness and healing through discipleship. Caleb and Claudia both carry a unique expression of fire, passion, tenderness, and creativity in order to see the gospel of the Kingdom go forth in power and to see Heaven manifested in and through their every day lives.
