Five who trusted Christ
while visiting Gateway Dora, age 16 and her mom (pictured above)

out she was 5 mo nths along and changed their
mind. Joan shared Christ with Dora’s mom and
she trusted Him for salvation. Dora still hasn’t
made a commitment to the Lord. Baby Jaidyn

children (ages 4, 9 and 14) She was seeking food. She
moved from California to NJ two weeks ago and has
been living with her father. We gave them lunch and
one of our volunteers took the family to Christian
ministry. She and the children trusted Christ. They
and we were grateful that the Lord brought this family
to Gateway, even though pregnancy wasn’t the main
issue.

Chalant, age 19, came to Gateway- Irvington with

Omar (age 17) in May. She is due in January 2010.
Both were challenged to come to Christ. When the
gospel was discussed, Chalant said she wasn’t born
again, but wished to be. She trusted Christ as Savior
and Lord. Suzanne spoke to her about not living with
her fiancée. She was encouraged to share her decision
for Christ with Omar.

When asked the question from the booklet 'Is there anything keeping you from trusting Christ right
now?' Viola said her 'bad language' and the 'anger in my heart'.

We explained that this was the reason Christ came. We can come to Him just as we are and trust Him
not only for salvation but to live the life intended for us. Viola will consider the claims of Christ and
we ask that you pray for her salvation.
