Graces Story

Gateway Today

August 2015
We remember Gateway!

Nylan, age 10, is second from left. His mom came to

our Elizabeth location nearly 11 years ago. We met at

the Trinity Christian Church Health Fair in Elizabeth on
August 8th.

Grace had previously had an abortion with complications

and thought she was unable to have children. When she
found out she was pregnant she planned to abort again.
She came here and received counseling "the lady talked
to me and changed my mind." On April 21st she had a
beautiful boy; his name means "now I have been
favored." As she was telling me she teared up said
"Thank God for this place" repeatedly. She loves her son.
Though it is hard being a single mother she has a
supportive church family. She had many basic needs (like
a blanket and mittens) for her son and was extremely
grateful for the material support. She was sweet and
without prompting tried not to take too much "so the
other mother's will have something." She is active at
church and plans to raise her son to know Jesus; we
discussed living life according to His Word.

Thanks to Pastor Tyrone McDonald for inviting

Gateway to the Trinity Christian Church
(Elizabeth) Health Fair on August 8th. We met
many men and women (and their kids) who had
come to Gateway in the past 10 to 15 years. We are
thankful that they have a church contact.

Jadens mom came to Gateway nearly 11 years ago as

well.

Gateway Elizabeth

Macy (pictured with dad Tom Weinert at

our 2012) Banquet nearly died this week.
Doctors has already given up hope, but
the Lord answered many prayers. Pray
for a full recovery. Tom chose life at our
pregnancy center in 1989 and because of
his decision his and Macys lives were
forever changed

volunteer Monica writes: A young mother

of 3 (1 month girl, 3 year old boy and 7 year
old girl) came in for material support (free
gift). I had actually been her counselor back
in April. She was recently evicted then and
on bed rest. Welfare has placed them in a
motel, but she had run into many
bureaucratic paperwork issues (food stamps
cut while she was in surgery, struggle to get
the papers needed for WIC, etc.). She never
knows where the next meal will come from
to feed the 5 of them in 1 room. She has
called all the nearby food pantries, but has
been struggling to hold on to the hope that
it'll get better. She believes in God, but is
not a Christian. I explained the hope we can
have in Jesus!
One of the things she desired was a stroller
because the car seat carrier is so heavy to get
around. Last week a stroller in a pattern
matching her car seat had been donated; it
fit the carrier perfectly!! Also, her 3 year old
had been borrowing the infants' diapers and
in God's providence we had pull ups in his
size. I told her this is not coincidence, but
God at work in her life. Now that He has her
attention, I told her that one of His biblical
names is Jehovah Jireh, the provider. He
wants to provide for her physical needs, but
even more her spiritual needs. I told her how
we all sin and need to be cleansed, but can
never achieve this on our own. She was very
grateful and in tears. We prayed and though
she did not make a commitment today He
planted and will water the seed.

Jill and her family are friends and

supporters of Gateway. She recently had
serious cancer surgery. She is healing and
praising the Lord.

Reckha and Jey are from Sri Lanka. (see last

months Gateway Today) The Lord has provided
an apartment for them and through many
Gateway contributors, a bed and items for their
baby girl, due September 18th. They had never
slept in a bed before!
Although brought up Hindu, they are open to the
gospel. Reckha is reading the Bible we gave her.

Just last week Reckha wrote this: before our life was very sad with tearing.
Now jesus catched us by your pure mind.my life never joy sir till now. god
is guides us. We are very happy sir.now our life is developing by jesus.
First step of god identified gateway pregnancy center with your
introduced...Thankyou very much sir these bible message. We very like and
happy and our mind is clearing. we like come to your church.
Pray for their salvation: Pray that their eyes be opened: Acts 26:18,..
so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to
God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those
who are sanctified by faith.. in Christ.
