Passionate Individuals Committed to Your Marriage
Robert and Chandra Collier
Founders of Intomesee Marriage Ministry/Board of Directors
Robert and Chandra’s love story began on December 7, 2019, a date that marked the start of something extraordinary. They were united in marriage on May 7, 2022—a date symbolizing God’s perfect timing and the completion of His plan for their lives. Their journey is a beautiful testimony of faith, resilience, and divine purpose, as God worked through their paths to prepare them for each other and the ministry they now lead together.
From the very first meeting, Chandra was captivated by Robert. A moment of nervousness caused him to spill water on her, but rather than creating awkwardness, it broke the ice and made the connection between them even more memorable. Robert, too, was mesmerized at first sight, feeling an undeniable spark that told him Chandra was someone special.
Chandra, who had once questioned if she would ever find the soulmate she hoped for, now reflects with gratitude on their union. “Rob is my soulmate, and I know without a doubt that I’ve found my person,” she shared.
For Robert, the connection was instant and clear. “The day I met Chan, I knew she was my destiny. Love at first sight is real,” he expressed.
Together, Robert and Chandra exemplify a love grounded in faith, mutual admiration, and unwavering devotion. Their story is a reminder that, in God’s timing, all things fall perfectly into place.
"Walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love." – Ephesians 4:1-3

On August 19, 2022, Donald and Pamela celebrated the start of their life together as husband and wife. Their love story began with a playful decision, on Pamela's part, to try online dating, which essentially led to them meeting and forever changing their lives. From the moment they connected, their bond was immediate, and they quickly became inseparable, laying the foundation for a beautiful future.
Donald brought to this marriage a wealth of experience and a heartfelt desire for a lifelong commitment. With personal growth and maturity, he was ready to embrace this new chapter with Pamela, who matched his energy and shared his dreams. Together, they have created a partnership rooted in mutual respect, joy, and unwavering support.
Though their time as a couple has been relatively brief, their journey has already been filled with unforgettable moments and significant growth. They cherish each milestone and work together to overcome challenges, strengthening their relationship with every step. Their love for travel, fitness, and healthy living enriches their connection and fuels their shared dreams.
Central to their marriage is a deep faith and spirituality. By placing God at the forefront of their lives, they have built a relationship grounded in trust and purpose. Their love for one another, paired with a deep commitment to family, highlights the core values they hold dear.

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." - 1 Peter 4:8

Henry and Debra Brown
Board of Directors/Treasurer
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
Henry and Debra Brown’s story began 26 years ago creating a testament to love, faith, and commitment. Their journey started outside a church, where fate brought them together. As they walked to their cars, Debra heard a voice ask, “Do you ever smile?” She looked up to see a handsome man with a warm grin—Henry. She smiled back and replied, “Yes, I do smile, you will have to get to know me.” Henry did just that.
After ten years of dating, their love culminated in marriage on October 18, 2008. Since then, they have been inseparable, building a life filled with love and shared purpose. Together, they have raised six children and are proud grandparents to three grandchildren.
Professionally, Henry is an aircraft structural mechanic, while Debra is a cardiovascular and thoracic surgical technologist. When they’re not working, they cherish their time together by vacationing on cruises or enjoying recreational shooting at the gun range.
Their faith is central to their lives. Active members of their church community, Henry serves as the minister of music and Debra sings alongside him on the praise team. Their shared devotion to God and one another is the cornerstone of their enduring relationship.
“For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” - Matthew 19:5-6

Darrin and Lisa Crane
Chaplain/Board of Directors
Darrin and Lisa celebrate the beauty of unity, friendship, and devotion.
TWO HEARTS / ONE SOUL
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not selfDarrin and Lisa expressed that their first walk in the park was nothing short of magical. From the very first step, our conversation flowed effortlessly—no backward moments, no awkward silences, not a single lull. They felt a connection so pure and undeniable that they knew, even then, they'd walk hand in hand forever—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally, bonded for life.
It all began on a Sunday morning at church. What started as a chance meeting quickly turned into a non-stop 10-minute conversation, and since that day, their hearts have been inseparable. The longest they’ve ever been apart is just four days—a testament to the unbreakable bond they share.
They're more than a couple. They are best friends, lovers, and lifelong partners. Their love is more than a feeling; it’s a force—strong, resilient, and beautifully rooted in the rich legacy of BLACK love. Together, they aspire to paint a picture for the world to see, a portrait of love that inspires others to cherish and c-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. " - Corinthians 13:4-8

Anthony and Cynthia Miller
Sergeant at Arms/Chief Financial Officer
Anthony and Cynthia’s journey began on February 16, 1996. After dating for two years, they married on May 2, 1998. Though life led them to divorce on March 1, 2004, after six years of marriage, their love story wasn’t over. They reunited on March 20, 2010, proving that "The second time around is much better than the first."
Today, the Millers celebrate 20 years of marriage on paper and 26 years in their hearts. They are proud parents to two daughters, 33 and 28, and a son, 23.
Cynthia knew Anthony was the one because of his unwavering acceptance of life’s challenges and steadfast love. For Anthony, Cynthia’s devotion to family and church life solidified that she was the one for him.
Communication has been the cornerstone of their success. Anthony’s demanding law enforcement career taught them to prioritize listening and understanding. Marriage counseling helped them strengthen their bond, teaching them they were always on the same team: #TeamMiller#5.
The Millers love to share their wisdom: love, pray, and play together; choose your battles wisely; travel and create lasting memories; and always ask, "Will this matter five years from now?"
Above all, they believe marriage is a deep covenant, filled with love, challenges, and abundant blessings. They humorously said, "Our marriage allows us to annoy each other for the rest of our lives—and we love it!"
Love is what it does.
"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."-Ephesians 4:1-3

Philip and Patricia Parker
Board of Directors/Marketing Director
The Parkers are a couple whose marriage is firmly rooted in their faith and dedication to God. Married in 1998, they have celebrated 27 years together and look forward to a lifetime more. Through the highs and lows of life, they have remained steadfast in their love for one another and their commitment to honoring the vows they made before God. They describe themselves as two imperfect people striving to live out God’s perfect plan for holy matrimony.
Active and devoted members of their church, the Parkers serve in the deacon and deaconess ministry. Their faith is the cornerstone of their lives, guiding them as they minister to others and share God’s love.
Outside of ministry, the Parkers enjoy traveling the world and spending meaningful time with their family and friends. They are the proud parents of five children, thirteen grandchildren, and two godchildren, who bring immeasurable joy to their lives.
Their mission is to inspire married couples to strengthen their relationships by prioritizing prayer, forgiveness, faithfulness, patience, and devotion to God and one another.
