Plainfield Director Elizabeth Director Former Elizabeth Director Irvington Director
This past year saw the ‘retirement ’ of our faithful Elizabeth director Joan Vitale and the
Homegoing of our dear sister and Archway-Gateway volunteer, Violet Brown, both after
twenty-three years of faithful service to the Lord. We rejoiced in seeing Dorothy Booker
coming aboard full time, after serving Gateway for the past two years as a volunteer. In
July, the Lord blessed us with Marisol Rodriguez, a nine year Gateway veteran
volunteer, who now serves as director in Elizabeth. Next month, the Lord willing, we will
see Lucy Droege come on as Irvington director.

In addition, we give praise to our Lord for His additional blessings this year alone

q dozens of sonograms performed at our Elizabeth site

q the ability to give out over ½ a ton of baby items new moms

q 44 women seen at our Plainfield site, 12 coming to Christ

q the opportunity to challenge women to commit their lives to Christ
q the opportunity to give a New Testament to those we see
q protection of our staff
q training of 28 individuals (15 graduates) via four (4) training classes

After 25 years of ministry Gateway has seen 24,688 women, 1,565 trusting Christ as Savior and
Lord, 2,453 known babies born, between 600 and 1000 boyfriends counseled and about 445
individuals trained in crisis counseling. About 6 tons of mostly new baby items have been
distributed along with more than 20,000 New Testaments. Over 12,000 hand made baby booties or
hats have been given to pregnant women. Almost all who’ve come to us have been personally
challenged to trust Christ. The Harder Truth video has been shown approximately 8,000 times.
Over 650 sonograms have been performed and more than 270 church and community presentations
have brought the message of the sanctity of human life. Thousands of teens have been challenged
to remain sexual pure until marriage. We’ve held about 23 walk-a-thons, raising about $230,000.
More than 3,000 have attended our 20 annual banquets and have raised over $300,000 for the
ministry. Parents have been encouraged to share the truth of scripture with their children, students
have been given accurate information for school projects (along with the gospel) and our internet
website (www.gateway.org) and BLOG http://gatewayorg.blogspot.com/ has reached thousands
 “You will help them understand and turn them from darkness to light and from
Satan's control to God, so that their sins will be forgiven and they will receive a
share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'’ Acts 26:18

What God has done

Ø Men and women brought to the true
gospel
Ø Abortion vulnerable women changing
their minds
Ø Guilt ridden believers brought to a
point of healing through Christ alone
Ø Men challenged to commitment
Ø Teens challenged to chastity
Ø Churches challenged to live for Christ
Ø Leaders challenged to lead

Our challenge for the year 2011

q Increase the number of women seen in Irvington from 25 to 75-100 monthly

q Bring Lucy Droege aboard as Irvington director. She only needs $4,300 more
to make the transition onto the Gateway team.

q Increase of annual budget from $180,000 to $300,000. This amount includes all
three centers, over $45,000 in rent and all salaries.

‘How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will
they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear
without a preacher?’ Romans 10:14

Ø Pray for additional volunteers

Ø Pray for additional church speaking engagements and consider inviting us to
speak at your church and show our promotional video

So, what can you do?

 Make a Decision to Support the Vision
of Gateway
Most crisis pregnancy centers would have a budget of $150,000 but only for one center
- we have three locations! As of December 15th. we are looking at about a $30,000
deficit for 2010

We can do more to reach abortion vulnerable women. We can bring the gospel to
more women and their boyfriends .. but we need your help.

"For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have
shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the
saints."
Hebrews 6:10
