Letter from
Gladys Staines
I am pleased to know that GLS is producing a book on the life of my
late husband Graham Stuart Staines. I trust this book will challenge us
all to re-dedicate our lives to live and labour for the lord. I pray that
we would all live in peace and harmony showing our love for the Lord Jesus
Christ by serving our brothers and sisters.
With Christian Love
Mrs. Gladys June Staines.
