Jovito and Nancy

Fifty years ago, in the Philippines, Jovito and Nancy Arat stood before God, their families, and their community to enter into the sacred covenant of marriage. With hearts full of faith and hope, they committed their lives to one another, trusting God to lead them through every season of their journey.

Through five decades of marriage, the Lord has been their foundation—guiding them through joys and trials, strengthening their bond, and blessing their family. From the Philippines to their life today in the United States, God’s grace has remained constant, proving that a marriage built on faith can endure time, distance, and change.

As they celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary, we give thanks to God for His unfailing love, His guidance, and His faithfulness throughout their marriage. Jovito and Nancy’s union stands as a living testimony to God’s promise that “what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (Mark 10:9)

This celebration honors not only 50 years of love, but 50 years of walking hand in hand with the Lord—serving Him, loving one another, and leaving a legacy of faith for generations to come.

To God be the glory—for the past 50 years, and for all the years ahead.
