Letter from Gayle Haggard, wife of Ted Haggard

November 5, 2006

Dear Women of New Life Church,

I am so sorry for the circumstances that have led me to write this letter to you today. I
know your hearts are broken; mine is as well. Yet my hope rests steadfastly in the Lord
who is forever faithful.

What I want you to know is that I love my husband, Ted Haggard, with all my heart. I am
committed to him until death “do us part.” We started this journey together and with the
grace of God, we will finish together.

If I were standing before you today, I would not change one iota of what I have been
teaching the women of our church. For those of you who have been concerned that my
marriage was so perfect I could not possibly relate to the women who are facing great
difficulties, know that this will never again be the case. My test has begun; watch me. I
will try to prove myself faithful.

I love you all so much, especially you young women—you were my delight.
To all the church family of new Life Church—Ted and I are so proud of you. You are all
we hoped you would be. In our minds, there is no greater church.

As you try to make sense of these past few days, know that Ted believes with all his heart
and soul everything he has ever taught you, those things you are putting into practice. He
is now the visible and public evidence that every man (woman and child) needs a Savior.

We are grateful for your prayers for our family.

I hold you forever in my heart,
Gayle Haggard
