�It�s Come To This?�

No, Gateway is not �going out of business�. No, we�re not in deep trouble and if you don�t help all is not lost. God is blessing the ministry. Women are being saved. Babies are coming into the world, saved from abortion. You�ll hear about all of this in a few days at the October 9th. Stewardship Banquet.

But..there is a real need. To not share that need would not be right. Since we look to the Lord to provide, we trust Him for our financial need.

As of today we are about $22,000 behind in our budget. While many ministries have very large budgets, Gateways is about $140,000 yearly.

We are not attributing the shortfall to �post 9-11�, to the economy, or any other specific. We simply see that there�s a shortfall.

We are asking our friends to consider giving a Special Gift to offset this shortfall at this years Banquet. If you will be attending the Banquet, would you prayerfully consider giving the largest gift possible for this need? If you cannot make the Banquet, would you still consider this request at this time?

It�s come to this. God remains faithful. He will provide. We�ll believe He�ll use God�s people to meet a very real need. ** Thank you for listening,

Rev. Dean Gavaris, Executive Director

** �And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory
in Christ Jesus.� Philippians 4:19
