In the Summer of 2020, Dalmo said yes to God's invitation to drop everything and move back to Tulsa where he spent his teenage years.

In the Spring of 2023, Vivian said yes to God's invitation to move to Tulsa, the latest step of faith in a years-long ministry adventure.

In October, both Dalmo and Vivian went looking for love online. They struck up a conversation on a Friday and quickly made plans for a first date on Monday.

That Sunday before the date, Vivian decided to visit a new church. To her surprise, the pastor ended his sermon with a poem about awe and wonder... written by Dalmo! As it turns out, Vivian had gone to Dalmo's community, City Church!

On October 16th, Dalmo and Vivian met for their first date at Guthrie Green in downtown Tulsa, walked around the Arts District, bought a finger puppet at Magic City Books, talked about Taylor Swift and Ken Wilber at Reconciliation Park, got a tea at Gypsy Coffee House, dined at the Tavern, and ended the evening with the promise of a second date—the second of many, they had a feeling.
