We are!
..in everything give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" I Thessalonians 5:18
25 year veteran Betty Mabee was honored with the Andy Anderson Award for 2011. Above, Dean presents the award to Betty at her home church, Cranford Alliance
Again, thank you to the 319 who attended our recent 26th Anniversary Stewardship Banquet and helped net over $25,000 for the gospel ministry of Gateway. (Pictured above, our honored speaker Mrs. Kay James)
Betty has through her use of her God given talents in counseling, Board leadership and liaison to her home church (Cranford Alliance) truly exemplified our motto of being a friend of Gateway. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything,
but only God who gives the growth. I Cor. 3:7 ESV
Our commitment to you in 2012 As contemporary as we become, we will still seek to first glorify the Savior, to be Christ-like, and to put the mission of seeing souls trust Christ as Savior above all other endeavors.
Invite Gateway to speak to your church during Sanctity of Life Month (January or February) Well bring a gospel message and share the ministry. Remember the mission of the church is missions! So, why should YOUR church invite Gateway to the pulpit? Worth of Quoting:
Dean led a class on Teaching Chastity to Youth at the 51st. annual Christian Ministries Convention at Hawthorne Gospel Church on October 22nd
When we are silent, when we treat abortion as a mere social problem, a mere political issue, we expose our complicity. So preach faithfully. Proclaim not the sanctity of life, but the holiness of God, whose image the least of these bear. Call for repentance from the pulpit God placed under your care. Preach the same good news that He preached, that the captive are to be set free, that those marching toward death are to be rescued. Preach, and take the heat. For Jesus says such will make you blessed. Walk by faith, and preach by faith, in season and out of season. -- R.C. Sproul
