Brian and Celena Banks Engaged: Sept 1, 2003 Married: Sept, 4, 2004
As time grew closer to our wedding date, we met with Pastor and Lady Wilson for counseling (this was a requirement before Pastor would marry you to ensure that you were ready for marriage). Well by this time we had been exposed to a lot of information and I thought that these sessions were going to be a breeze, boy was I wrong. Somehow, at the end of every session, I would always leave crying. The thing that I found to be unique with Pastor and Lady is that their pre-marital counseling was very specific to you as a person and a couple. Pastor spent a lot of time in prayer before our sessions to ensure that the sessions would be effective. These sessions through the power of the Holy Spirit were specifically aimed at what we needed to bring it all together and provide healing to areas that needed to be addressed in our lives. We received something from every session and believe that entire experience was ordained by God to prepare us for a new life together. By the end of the counseling sessions, we were ready to take the next step in faith and peace.
We are forever grateful to God for all of the information that was made available to us; it really helped prepare us for marriage so much so that the first year of our marriage was absolutely wonderful. We've been married for a little over three years and we both can say that it has been a great and enjoyable experience. Make no mistake about it, we know that the enjoyment we have experienced is only by the grace of God, the preparation we received through counseling, and the prayers of people like our parents and our spiritual parents Pastor and Lady Loretta. It was a blessing to glean their wisdom.... rarely do you get to witness a couple as in love as they are after almost 30 years of marriage. They are an encouragement and an example for many couples including us.
We don't know what the future holds, but we know that what we have learned has already paid off for us over the last three years and we pray that our love for each other will continue to grow stronger and stronger every day and that one day we will be able to inspire other couples as Pastor and Lady have inspired us! Anyone who is looking to get counseling from Pastor Wilson and Lady Loretta, I highly recommend their services, they have tons of experience, are very gifted and skilled in the area of counseling, have a passion for helping others, and carry an anointing to minister to the specific areas that need healing in your lives. They have been a tremendous blessing to us and we know they will be the same for you!
