Helen and TJ
Bride and Groom
The future Mr and Mrs MARTIN! :D
Andrew
Best Man
(TJ speaking)
Andrew has been a forerunner in my life for the past ten years. From the streets to Christ, Andrew has been there for me through thick and thin. Today I can say that he is one of my mighty men. I am honored to have him stand as my best man.
Susan
Maid of Honour
(Helen speaking)
I love Susan! She is a beautiful woman of God, and someone I am blessed to be friends with. Sooo many memories... getting ready for events, being the maxi-krew/fan divas, hairstylin', opshopping, crazy driving, endless posing... but then also the d&m's, prayer and discussions about the Word. She's quality :) I'm honoured to have her standing (and most likely posing it up) with me on my big day!
Chris
Groomsman
(TJ speaking)
Chris is also another hometown hero. He fights for what he believes and stands on the truths of scripture. Chris and I met about nine years ago through street parties and drug deals. Years later, we would have never thought that we would both be living in Houston at a ministry called Youth-Reach. Chris and I grew close over the following years as God was redefining who we were. Today, Chris is married to an amazing wife, Asha, and is a professional accountant. Both Helen and I are honored to have Chris and Asha in our lives.
Amanda
Bridesmaid
(Helen speaking)
Amanda is truly beautiful, inside and out :) since knowing her I have continually been blessed and challenged by her love of truth and courageous pursuit of the fullness of what God has for her. We've laughed together, prayed together, antiphonalised together, studied Song of Songs together... another beautiful woman of great worth and quality who is standing with me on my big day!!
Troy
Groomsman
(TJ speaking)
I know few people who can compare when it comes to Troy. His loyalty for his friends can only be out measured by his love for others. I have watched this man's life for the past five years and can say that he truly has found his own way up the mountain of myrrh and has come out leaning on his Beloved (Song of Solomon). Troy travelled to Oakland, California in faith to serve and study at the School of Urban Missions. He went out for a season and came out with a calling. Today, Troy and his wife, Selene, stand as proud parents to their son Izzy and as leaders in their community. It takes a special type of person with a special type of calling to do what these two do. I am honored to have Troy stand by my side.
Anna
Bridesmaid
(Helen speaking)
I met Anna in 2007 when we did the Fire in the Night internship together. We quickly became inseparable :) I have SO much fun with this girl! Bulk amounts of shopping, coffees and fun times are to be expected when we're together ;) I am suuuper excited to be living in the same city as her again :) and am so excited that she is my bridesmaid!!
Reed
Groomsman
(TJ speaking)
When it comes to people in my life that I know I can count on, Reed is definitely at the top of the list. His compassion for the people around him and his willingness to give of himself emotionally, physically, and spiritually, whether it is through his job or at church, have had an amazing impact on my own life. Reed is a man of character and I'm glad to have him by my side. David had his mighty men and I am honored to have Reed stand next to me as one of mine.
Tiffany
Bridesmaid
(Helen speaking)
I met Tiffany in 2007, when we were both on the Nightwatch dance team. We both had the interesting experience of LEARNING to dance out there ;) Tiffany has such a beautiful heart... ever rejoicing in Him. It's infectious! I have been greatly blessed by her generosity, sense of humour and loving words of wisdom. I am so glad to have her standing with me, and am excited to finally get to live in the same city as her again!!

TJ's little sister!
