Gateway's 2012 Stewardship Banquet




Celebrating 27 years in crisis pregnancy ministry

You will hear testimonies by men and women impacted by the ministry. You will be blessed with music to stir your soul and challenge your spirit

Our special guest speaker
Mr. Thomas Weinert
(pictured below left with his daughter, Maci and below right with the rest of his immediate family) will share his testimony as a result of his visit to us in 1989. (You may remember, Tom shared with us at our 2000 Stewardship Banquet with Elisabeth Elliot)
 










Check out Tom Weinert’s testimony:  

 Rev. Dean Gavaris, Gateway’s Executive Director (below)
  will share on the theme of the evening,
Bigger  than  Life!


Our special music will be provided by the band
Genesis



Genesis is a band that has created a new style of praise and worship music. We have a music style that crosses many mainstream musical genres, from rock to blues, to light jazz and even doo-wop. Highly accented in our music presentation, is the variety of different sounds of our percussion ensemble. Djembe, congas, bongo's, doumbec, and timbales unite to form a rich and dynamic musical explosion! Our songs were written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The words and music give a message of hope, comfort, and promise from the words of Jesus himself. Some of our songs are composed of Bible passages and scriptures.

Presently, we have four members in the band. Genesis has performed at coffee houses, Gospel festivals, fund raisers, and church concerts. Genesis has played at the following locations: Body & Soul coffee house, Jamesburg N.J Belmar Trinity Cafe, Belmar N.J. Hamilton Square Baptist Church ,Trenton N.J. St. Lutheran church[ open door cafe] Monroe, N.Y. Gospel Fest, First Presbyterian church of Iselin. Townley Presbyterian Church buffet/ benefit concert for the children of Haiti. Gospel Fest, Faith United church of Christ, Union N.J. New Hope cafe. Staten Island N.Y. Evangel Church. Scotch Plains N.J. Lamb of God Church. Bethlehem, P.A. Street Light Church, Elizabeth N.J.
