Devout, yet defeated

Haneefa (name changed for her protection) has a

few small children. She lives in an Islamic Centerin the Midwest Her husband was deported a fewyears ago for making anti-American statements.

She recently went to Planned Parenthood thinking

she was pregnant. They encouraged her tochemically abort the baby. She adamantly refused

because she is Muslim. The father of the baby,whom she met at work is also Muslim but

demanded she abort. She refused.

Haneefa found Gateway on the internet. She knewwe were Christian. She asked for help in

relocating her and her children and helping her toplace her baby in a Muslim home.

We offered to try to secure housing in the northern

NJ area. We interfaced with Muslims and non-Muslims.

Weve had numerous opportunities to share Christ

with her. She fears her pregnancy will be foundout in her tight knit Muslim community. I could

get killed for this!.

She believes she most certainly would be killed in anIslamic country.

We shared with her Jesus encounter with the womancaught in adultery in John chapter 8:10-11. Weencouraged her to trust Jesus who would forgive her.

and not condemn her. Haneefa insists Islam is not a

religion, but a way of life.

When a Shia Muslim woman was referred to us

hopes of adopting the child, she categorically

refused upon hearing of the circumstances

surrounding the conception. I dont want the bashe said, insisting that her devoutness prohibited

her from taking the child.

Haneefah grew up in America, the daughter of a

Catholic woman and Muslim father. She has

bounced from motels to homeless shelters. At ag17, devout Pakistanis adopted her. She is a

confused and conflicted woman.

We put Haneefa in touch with a Christian minist

Addisons First Year....

byJennifer Koedatichon Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 8:06pm

Through Addison God has revealed to me how much He loves me. I can

remember holding Addison for the first time and not even knowing what to

pray for simply because I needed more strength more wisdom more couragethen I thought God could ever provide me.

Truth be told God didnt need to know the right words from me, God knew

my heart and He knew that he was going to provide every single thing I

would need. He also knew that He would provide all these things one day

at a time!!

I have been humbled that God has brought so many people into Addisons

life that love her and have helped me with her this last year. I will never be able to

express my appreciation and how my heart has felt when she is around those

that love her.

I continue to pray that God will grant me the strength for each day. And this time when I pray, I say it

confidently that My God will provide for me all that I NEED. So do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? orWhat shall we drink? or What shall we wear? But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these

things will be given to you as well. Mathew 6 31-33

Addison is such a beautiful child and I am blessed to have her as my daughter. As I look at the next year, my

prayer is that I may live with hope, faith and confidence in Him. His plan for Addison and I is just underway and I

am excited to see where He takes us.

She came to Gateway for a package of diapers,

but there was much more in store for our new

friend. She was due in a few months and was

beginning to feel the responsibility of caring for

her new son to be born. It became obvious from

our first interaction that she had deep needs. She

was longing for a place to share her struggle and

felt no purpose.

Soon after her new journey with Christ began,

Baby Yezon was born on July 7 beginning his

new life as well. She now meets regularly with a

friend of Gateway who attends a local church.

The same church is planning a baby shower that

will include additional baby items for our friend

in need. By Gods grace, she received much more

than a package of diapers at Gateway.

Her greatest

moment at

Gateway was

when she full

understood her

need for a

personal

relationship with

Jesus and chose

to accept Him as

her Savior.

Our summer began with two interns fromLiving Stone Church assisting Lucy at our

Irvington site.

Professional painter,Greg Layton (r) and his

helper Jovanni, volunteered to paint our

entryway and staircase. Thanks again!

Please pray for Rich Collier, a dear friend of GatewayPregnancy Center

Richard F. Collier, Jr., Esq. is the President of the Legal Center forDefense of Life, Morristown, NJ, whose volunteer attorneys provide pr

bono legal advice and representation in matters involving abortion and

euthanasia. Rich is on the Advisory Board of Life Choices Women's

Health center in Phillipsburg, and a longtime friend of the Gateway

ministry. In 1997 he tirelessly worked on behalf of Sonia Jackson and

her daughter Messiah (now age fourteen).

Medical Update - July 26, 2011 Rich writes: "Please thank everyonfor their prayers and their concern. And please let them know that thei

prayers are working! (Not that that should be any surprise.) I had the

last of my initial radiation and chemo treatments last week, so I got

through the first six weeks OK, without any major side effects -- thank

to the abundance of prayers that have been poured out for me, which is

very humbling. Next stop is surgery to remove the tumor, which is now

scheduled for August 23. I will be in the hospital for 4-7 days, then at

home for a while. Then back into much stronger chemo for about four

months. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!"

Have you heard? Gateway has seen from January through July, 788 women,13 babies are known born and 107 women have trusted Christ as Savior and Lord and another 23ave rededicated their life to the Lord!

We are preparing for our annual celebration banquet on Thursday October 27 th. with our special guest

peaker, Kay Coles James.

During the Hot Summer Months of June, July and August, many of our supporters are away and giving ist a year low. This year is no different. As of this writing, we have an urgent need of about $ 9,000 to

meet all our commitments.

Would you consider a Hot Summer Giftto help us as we move through the summer into another exciting seasof ministry? This is our 26

thyear of ministry and we see greater things from a God who has already

one great things.

FROM THE DIRECTORS DESK Rev. Dean GavarisAre Gateway volunteers excited about the ministry? Absolutely!

Devout, yet defeated(continued from p. 1)

Haneefas blog indicates her conflicting views: America is great. America has been a terrorist. I

hate the USA Government and would go anywhere in the world to get out of here!

Please pray as we share Christ with Haneefa and as we help her to relocate. The stark

differences between her beliefs and ours, we feel, will be used by the Holy Spirit to speak

to her heart. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that

whoeverbelieves in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
