Debt-Ceiling Prayers Answered at Wedding Reception

Newlyweds Vondel and Gary Resendo, members of Allegheny East Conference’s New Life church in Gaithersburg, Md., held their wedding reception May 22, at the same time the United States Congress was working to resolve the debt-ceiling crisis that could have resulted in the first-ever default on federal debt. The couple knew that such an event would greatly impact their lives.

Since efforts were failing to resolve the situation at that moment, they slotted time at the reception to pray for an end to the ordeal that could have serious financial implications for the world, country and themselves.
