Punta Cana—Under a glowing Caribbean sky and the rhythm of gentle waves, the fourth edition of Renewing the Covenant 2025 culminated this weekend with an emotional mass wedding and vow renewal on the beach at the Grand Bávaro Princess. The international congress, hosted by the Marriage of Life Ministry of the Breath of Life Christian Center (CCSV), brought together couples in a powerful expression of healing, restoration, and unity.
More than 90 couples—hailing from the Dominican Republic and eight additional nations, including Colombia, Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Puerto Rico, and the United States—stood hand-in-hand to reaffirm their commitment before God and community. The ceremony was officiated by pastors Abraham Velásquez and Bethliza Cintrón, with a special pastoral blessing from Yesenia Then and Joan Bonilla, creating a spiritually resonant finale to the three-day gathering.
Across the congress, attendees participated in a full schedule of conferences, workshops, and immersive sessions focused on strengthening marriages through faith-centered teaching and biblical values. From practical tools for communication and conflict resolution to moments of prayer and reflection, the program was designed to help couples rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and cultivate resilient families rooted in Christian principles.
Organizers say Renewing the Covenant has grown into a global meeting point for couples seeking guidance and community. This year’s edition underscored that mission—offering a safe space to reconnect, recommit, and celebrate love with intention. The beachfront vow ceremony, framed by the turquoise waters of Punta Cana, served as a poignant reminder that marriage is both a covenant and a calling—one that flourishes through faith, humility, and daily grace.
As the sun set over Bávaro, the newly blessed couples left the shore with renewed purpose and a shared testimony: love, when anchored in God, endures and inspires.
