Dear Praying Friends,
This letter is long overdue and I pray you will have patience in taking the time to read all the great things God is doing in our ministry in Petrovka. I want to thank each one of you that prays faithfully for our ministry and for those of you who have sacrificially given to my ministry - some of you for the past 21 years. I pray that this Christmas you will sense the presence of our Savior and that you will truly be filled with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. It was wonderful to see many of you while I was in the States on home assignment. May the New Year 2018 bring you continued blessings as you serve our great Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
With much love and gratefulness,
Denise
