Denise has been married to David for nearly fifty years and they have three grown-up children and eight wonderful grandchildren. For many years Denise was a Director of Ellel Glyndley Manor but in recent years has been peripatetic across many of the Ellel Ministries Centres, teaching guests and supporting or training teams. She originally trained as a mathematics teacher but her life and the future of her whole family was radically changed by a "Damascus Road" experience of the Lord Jesus in 1981. For many years previously David and Denise had been attempting to live a self-sufficient life in the Highlands of Scotland but Jesus completely changed their views and focus and showed them how much they needed His sufficiency rather than their own. Denise now delights to share with others what she has discovered about God's amazing love and His dynamic truth that radically transforms lives in wonderful and often unexpected ways. Her passion is to stir the hearts of believers to appropriate all the benefits of the abundant life that their Heavenly Father freely offers to each of His children.
