Dear Mr. Sinclair,
We have not met, but my wife heard you speak at our church. She approached your wife with a desire to talk. My wife heard the comforting words of someone who would listen. She has struggled with shame and self-doubt since my arrest and incarceration. I have put her and my family in a difficult situation. Until a few weeks ago, she did not know of a woman who would speak with her, understand her or pray with her. After speaking with a wives facilitator, she was directed to the Faithful and True wives meetings and it has been a real blessing for her and for me. Thank you for your work. I look forward to corresponding with you in the future. [Edited and names withheld]

Jerry and Susan, It was great seeing you at my church last weekend. I know how hard you both work for Faithful and True. I would not have been able to work on my own issues and my marriage without the support of your ministry. Though my marriage did not survive, I still admire all that you do and pray for the healing of so many. My eyes have been opened to the ugliness of the terrible epidemic of sexual sin that is destroying so many lives. I’m much stronger now and listening intently to God for his guidance. I’m where he wants me for now and I am content with that. “Tis grace that brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home.” From “Amazing Grace” by John Newton [Name withheld]

Thank you for the testimony and journey shared with such bold honesty. This has encouraged me to not run from my past, but to humbly accept it. I appreciate brothers like you who knows of what I speak. [a Pastor in a distant city]

Jerry, I just wanted to say thanks to you and your wife, Susan, for the ministry and your labor to help us broken guys. Your effort does make a difference. I’m sure at times you might not see it, but your hard work really does payoff. [name withheld]
