Prayer request from the wife of of one Gateway's Board members:

"Some of you may already know some of this, but not all, so please bare with me. My Mom has been in the hospital for testing this week. The tests are not all in yet but the evidence is pretty clear that her cancer is back and today I was told, is pretty widely metastasized. Evidently many bones, and her liver at least. On top of the difficulties that news brings in and of itself, she is making it very clear she will not even consider any treatment. She says if its her time to go, she goes.

I wish this were a confident faith in her own salvation, but in stead it is a result of depression, loneliness, and anger. She hasn't been told yet how widely spread the cancer is. Probably tomorrow the doctors will have fuller results and a plan and then they talk to her. Please pray she will reconsider at least trying treatment. Pray the cancer is not as widespread as at first it appears.

And pray for us. This has been a very hard year. David is working full time this week thru the nursing agency, and probably will do the same next week, but then it goes back to maybe 6 hrs a week if that. Also his hours are 3-11 which means he's not here to talk to when I need him. And the kids are not taking this well.

Rob was in a VERY bad way after my Dad's death. I am concerned especially about him if Mom goes this soon and in such a difficult way. Thanks for all your concerns for us. In Christ, Karen"

Our friend, Peter Willcox requests prayer for his missionary journey to Africa:

"I am leaving for Africa Thursday and would appreciate your prayers, thanks.
I have attached an itinerary - blessings! Pete

HELP! Pete needs your prayer!

On January 20th, I will be going to Africa with my father in law (Neil) and an evangelist (Jack). We will visit 4 countries (Ghana, Benin, Uganda, and Kenya) where we will hold 2- to 3-day seminars for pastors and church leaders. Our purpose is to train, encourage and support them. We partner with these leaders by providing these seminars. These leaders already know the culture and the language, so we can help strengthen what is already in place. At night we will have evangelistic services whenever we can.

Would you please support us with your prayers? Even the travel time from country to country is an area where the enemy would like to cause trouble. Please also pray for the blessing, protection, and provision for our families that are at home.Thank you so much

"First let me say how much your support and prayers have meant to me. God has a way of placing the right people in ones life at the right time. He lives up to his not giving one more than one can bear.

The Essex County Prosecutors are now involved as Irvington could no longer handle the case on their own. From Verizon to ATT to Nextel. Warrant after warrant. The state police and Nat�l Center for exploited standing at the sidelines waiting to assist. (THANKS TO DEANS WISDOM HE IMPARTED TO ME). Warrants are 10 page documents that are taking at least a day to obtain. As of yesterday two were being sought for Nextel. They utilize ATT�s towers to provide their service. Hence, the delay because the warrant to ATT was a waist. Tyamba sounded in distress, sneaking to use a phone at 7am. Otherwise here voice was of the child I knew but one of fear as she cried and whimpered,� mommy I love you, I miss you mommy�.

Im back at work 12 long hours hoping and praying for closure 7pm-7:30p, Wed, Thurs and Fri.

Presently, I am placing calls directly to the prosecutors office to get an update. Irvington has the same news as yesterday. Will be in touch." (Ingrid Hayward, Tyamba's mom)
