September 9-19, churches all across the country are participating in 10 Days of Prayer and Fasting, an intentional time set aside for our entire city. We want Jesus Christ to be the focus of every heart for 10 entire days!
This is a call to take a break from what’s normal on earth so that we can enter into what’s normal in heaven. 10 Days is a call to take time out, to fast from ordinary life and daily distractions, and to see what’s normal in heaven happen in our city.

The Gateway women will be diving deep into Lisa Bevere’s newest 4 week DVD / Book study, “Adamant: Finding Truth in a Universe of Opinions”. Come out and discover what it means to view Truth as someone and not something.
Class Description: What is truth? This has become the defining question of our time. But while everyone has an opinion, truth, it seems, is getting harder and harder to find. Perhaps that’s because we are searching for something when we should be looking for someone. Truth has a name. More ancient than time and more present than this moment, truth is not a river that changes with the cultural currents, but a rock—immovable, invincible, and unshakeable. Adamant will be an anchor for your soul in a raging sea of opinions, giving you a clear sense of direction in a wandering world.
Book not required, but if you would like to purchase it, click here.
Pastor Lance and Darlene want to spend time with Gateway members on Sunday, September 23, at 2:00pm in the Chapel.

Let’s come together as a family, spend time with one another, and get to know our other family members. Refreshments will be served.

Rob Morris is the President and Co-founder of Love146, an international human rights organization working to end child trafficking and exploitation.
Rob thinks it is awkward to write a bio in “third person”, pretending that someone else is writing it. So he asked those who matter most to him, know him best and would be the most honest, to tell you about him…his six children:
“Rob is short. He is passionate, funny, patient and makes the best lasagna. He’s a rock star, mentor and friend. Rob’s the most considerate person ever and makes people happy…not sure why, but he has that affect. He gives good advice, is afraid of clowns and can’t dance. He’s the best speaker I ever heard and his favorite word is “bizarre.” Rob likes the New York Yankees and loves chicken parm, He’s the best storyteller ever, and does things that matter and make a difference. “
And from his youngest…”Me and Dad go fishing.”
Join us for our next membership luncheon where you will hear about the vision, heart, and mandate that God has given to Gateway. You will discover what it means to become a member of our family. Sign up starting Sunday, October 7, in the Atrium after service or by calling (203) 934-0880. Click HERE to register online. Lunch & childcare are provided with sign up.
All seniors are invited to attend a night of worship, preaching, fellowship, and refreshments. We will have a special guest speaker that night, and we are anticipating a great time for everyone. Invite a friend and bring a snack or dessert to share.
Contact Apryl Schultz @ aschultz@prescoinc.com to sign up for food.

My wife, Candice, and I have been married for 43 years. We both became believers during the Jesus Movement and we got married so that we could serve the Lord together. We knew we were called to go to the unreached tribal people so we went through a rigorous time of training and preparation with New Tribes Mission and then set off for the jungle village up the Pucuro River where the Paya-Kuna people had lived for centuries in the jungle. I guess you could say we were pioneer missionaries sent to reach the village for Jesus Christ. God answered our prayers and worked many mighty miracles to turn the hearts of the people to Jesus. Now, nearly everyone in the village follows the Lamb of God. While there I was involved as a linguist in the translation project of the New Testament in the Paya-Kuna language.
Almost forgot, how could I forget this! We have three wonderful children, six grandchildren, and…wait for it… 2 great-grandchildren! We are so blessed!!! Ok, back to our story:
After our missionary career we came to New England, the beautiful land of spiritual awakening, and were involved with starting an amazing church, Gateway Christian Fellowship, which we pastored for 18 years.
After turning the church over to a wonderful leadership team, we began to travel full time speaking, teaching, and helping churches and leaders to grow in Christ. We’ve had the joy of traveling to over 30 nations, sharing the message of God’s greatness and His end time glory that will be revealed through His people.
I’ve written a few books (3 books on Genesis, 1 on Isaiah, 1 on Moses, 1 about prayer, and my favorite, a verse by verse commentary on the Song of all Songs) so I hope you’ll check out our online store. More recently I’ve become involved with The Passion Translation Project and devote much of my time translating the Bible into a new, dynamic equivalent version that will help breathe life into your Bible reading.
I truly believe The Passion Translation has the potential to shape the spirituality of the English speaking church for generations to come.
The entire New Testament is scheduled for release in 2017, then I’ll begin on the Old Testament. Again, you can check out the titles we’ve released so far at our online store.
If I were to describe the passion that burns in both Candice’s and my heart it’s this: We want to change the world by being examples of a spiritual father and mother that will raise up millions of Christ followers who will be passionately in love with Jesus Christ.
