Dear Christian Friends:I would like to take this opportunity of letting you know of our appreciation for the ministry of Ruth Clarence with our ABA Pastors’ Wives Conference. Our goal for this annual conference is to build up these women in their personal faith lives, in their marriage and home relationships and in their church ministry within our association. The theme for this year’s conference was Intimacy in Marriage and we prayed for God to send us a speaker who would help to accomplish our goals.

Ruth Clarence came and we had a wonderful weekend of hearing practical advice and reminders in the area of our husband/ wife relationships. Not only were these times with Ruth helpful, she handled a sometimes difficult topic with grace, discretion and sensitive humour. There were no awkward moments or uncomfortable individual situations. Her willingness to b

e vulnerable enabled many others to be open for the help they had been seeking – some for many years. Her attitude of being a learner herself made us feel part of a family and bonded us together more closely than ever. Ruth’s obvious love for the Lord Jesus Christ and for her husband insured that we were directed toward God and His Word for help in developing our relationships at home.

I have no hesitation in heartily recommending Ruth Clarence as a spiritually growing person, as a loving wife and as a creative and lovable person. Any opportunity that I might have to be a part of her further ministries would be welcomed and given high priority in my own schedule.

Sincerely
