Pastors’ Letters

Dear Colleagues in Ministry,

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Mrs Lorraine Addison who has been a valued part of Ashgrove Baptist Church for the past nine years.

Lorraine is a woman who has a heart for God and a desire to serve Him. She is particularly burdened for women who have committed their lives to Christ but whose husbands do not share the journey with them. The Wives Support Group Ministry is the result. The reports I hear give me every confidence that this ministry is proving to be a great means of support, healing and encouragement to many women.

I have no hesitation in recommending to you Lorraine and the Wives Support Group Ministry.

Yours in the fellowship of the gospel,

Kevin Bird

To Whom it may Concern,

We gladly recommend to you and to your church group the ministry of the Wives Support Support Group Ministry.

Lorraine conducted a Saturday seminar in our church in 2004, and was warmly welcomed and received by all the women who attended. She is a woman of integrity, with a strong and loving faith, and of deep devotion to the Lord. Her commitment to women in need of such a group was immediately evident. We quickly grew to appreciate and love her for her concern for women, as well as her deep trust in Jesus Christ.

The feed-back we are still receiving is uniformly one of high commendation and encouragement, and I am sure that the groups that have either commenced or are about to begin, will add an important component to the women of our churches. Therefore, I have no hesitation in commending her to you.

Warmly yours in Jesus Christ,

Rev Stewart Rae

Dear Church Minister,

This is a letter of introduction to Lorraine Addison whom I have known for the past three years. She has overseen a Wives Support Group that has met in our church during that time.

Lorraine is a wise and godly woman who has been appointed by Christ to assist the local church in ministering to women whose husbands are not Christians. The women who have been part of this group in our church have been greatly encouraged through this ministry, they have been taught godly principles from the Scriptures how to relate to their husbands and families and they have grown in their commitment to persistent prayer.

Lorraine personally models a great commitment to her local church and encourages the women who are part of the Wives Support Group Ministry to actively participate in the local church. I warmly commend Lorraine and the Wives Support Group Ministry to you.

Yours sincerely
