Diane graduates Central High School!

Remember Diane?  She had baby Masiyah as a direct result of the help she received from Sonya Jackson, of LifeNet, and through the ministries of Gateway Pregnancy Center and the GAP project of the Center for Bio Ethical Reform.

She and Masiyah's father, Victor, celebrate with baby Masiyah, now 9 months old, on June 24th.  Would you also pray for their salvation?
Heart Beat
Can't you feel the heart beating, the little life growing?
Responding to your voice with a smile, like an angle glowing,
Scared and confused, you don't know what to do..
Meanwhile, the heart beats inside of you.
The doctor claims it's okay, he can drive the pain away,
But the heart beats on - begging you to let it stay
The law says it's legal: "it's you body, your choice"
But the heartbeat begs you to let it have a voice.
So many lives are snuffed out before they've even begun.
So listen to the heartbeat - the voice of your little one.
- Heather K. Boyle

"I'm so glad I had this baby" (Tiffany)
She was originally abortion minded, but after coming to Gateway, changed her mind.
Baby Latisha (3lb 10oz) was born on July 6th.
Praise the Lord!
The Spirit Gives Birth
by Joan Vitale, Associate Director

     There are so many women that enter our lives through Gateway, I am so grateful for each on of them.  Christine is one young lady that I would like to give special attention to this day.
     Christine came in to Gateway with the intention that if her test showed positive, she would abort.
     She tested poistive, and I listened to all her fears and cares, then showed her the video "Silent Scream".  When she left she was undecided BUT she had mucjh more to think about now.  As it turned out, Christine frequently had come to the center and other counselors spoke with her.

      She needed guidance and encouragement and all of us who saw her hopefully gave her what she needed.
     The gospel was shared to her several times in different ways by different counselors.  She didn't take the step of receiving Christ until recently.
     Christine made a wonderful decision to carry her pregnancy to term and she delivered a healthy baby boy named Daquan.
     Through a church invitation, which Chrisitne accepted, she gave her life tearfully to the Lord.
     I was so blessed to be able to witness two very special "new births".  Christines's new life in Christ and the birth of her newborn baby.

Eric Harrah to speak at Gateway's 9th Annual Banquet
"Eric touched many lives with his personal story of a life transformed by the love and mercy of God.  Many were encouraged to give from their hearts."


"We laughed, we cried, we cringed" was a comment from one of our banquet guests as she spoke about our featured speaker.

 Another supporter said "Eric enlightened, enriched and entertained us, yet his message of God's love transcended all.  Sometimes the truth hurts, but the truth that Eric delivered should help to bring healing and expose the darkness associated with abortion."
