Hi Everyone,

By now, most of us are over our holidays, back at work and facing the reality of another year in front of us. Let’s make this a great year for The Kingdom. We have had a great start to the year, with new people joining us and indicating that they would like to make Gateway their church home. So let’s be out in full force this Sunday and make all of our new brothers and sisters in Gateway feel like they belong.

We also have a prayer request from Ray & Hazel Green. Hazel’s sister, Ruth was brutally attacked in her home on Tuesday, back in South Africa. By the grace of God she survived the attack, but is facing surgery in the near future on the injuries suffered to her face. Ruth is a committed Christian and desperately wants to be well again so that she can continue on with the work that she does for her church.

Remember, that Hannetjie and Marnitz are both visiting South Africa at the moment and I think that it would be good for us all to keep them in our prayers as well.

Last week, we prayed for Arthur who nearly lost his toe due to an infection and other complications due to his diabetes. The good news is that he was out of hospital the next day, to the amazement of the doctors, and is recovering well. Arthur and Fran are also travelling, and have asked that we continue to lift Arthur up in prayer.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday as well as seeing how many new faces God brings to us. As always, let’s keep an eye out for the new folks, especially first time visitors.

See you all on Sunday,

Steve & Kaye.
