Sarah Gow first heard of Reece Foy when her older brother, Chris, was talking about the new Quarterback on his college football team. Coming from a family with 4 football players, all Quarterbacks, Sarah was intrigued by this new guy. As faith would have it, nine months later Reece moved in to the Gow house to work as a summer intern at the same Church Sarah was working at. They immediately developed a deep friendship, but as time passed God began to reveal other plans and well, the rest is history 😊
