John 11:25-26 "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
If you believe this, won’t you join us as we reach out with the gospel to the lost all around us.
Tragedy leads to triumph
Cassie* age 21 came to Gateway with her boyfriend, Clark* also 21. His mom was recently killed in Elizabeth by her boyfriend, who also killed himself. Clark has been impacted by this. After hearing the gospel, Clark put his trust in Christ as Lord and Savior. We gave him referrals to local churches that support Gateway. Please pray that Clark grow in his new faith.
2 Peter 3:9: ‘
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.’

Are we forgetting the chemicals?
Roe v Wade overturned, but have we forgotten that 53% of abortions are now 'chemical abortions'? In fact, 2020 marked the first time that a majority of legal abortions in the U.S. involved pills: 53%, according to both the CDC and Guttmacher) The results are still as deadly to the child and painful to the mother. www.pewresearch.org That figure rose to 54% in 2021 will continue to rise. ‘International Studies Show Chemical Abortions Inflict Four Times More Complications Than Surgical Abortions: Charlotte Lozier Institute
Some fruit from 2023:
* 494 women and 57 men were seen * 91 trusted Christ and another 18 have rededicated their lives to Christ * 121 plus babies are known to have been born as a result of our ministry in 2023.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.
