Life changing decisionsOur Plainfield Director, Dorothy Booker, writes

this about Kristin, who came to Gateway- Irvington

on May 5th

. She had been to our site in Elizabeth

exactly two years ago. Her test result at that time waspositive and she was undecided about giving birth.

Our Elizabeth counselor spoke with her about

abortion and adoption When she left our office, sheand her boyfriend had decided to abort the baby.

After arriving at an abortion clinic in Elizabeth, shewas considered too far along have the abortion pill

and she didn't want to have the surgery.

The Lord used Kristens fear of the surgery and theynow have a son. Please pray for women like Kristin

that are still abortion vulnerable.

Pray that the Lord would help them to see life asprecious. The next time she becomes pregnant,

Kristin will have her baby because it is a human life

(above) In March, Livingstone Church (Livingston,NJ) again blessed the ministry by sorting and

bundling. Thanks! (below) Our Elizabeth director,Jackie West, holds a precious newborn as her mom

looks on.

Dorothy Booker, also shares this story:

JB came to Gateway on April 18th

. Shes a singlemother of two children (a 5 year old and a one month

old). JB had been asked to leave by her mother,moved to a shelter and now has her own apartment.

The father of her children is incarcerated and she haslimited support. There are other trying circumstances

in her life. I am learning that many of these youngladies are making wrong choices out of desperation

and brokenness.

I was able to speak to JB and pray with her to trustChrist as her Savior, sharing the hope we can have in

Him. I asked her what she needed and if she waswilling to have one of our supporters contact her.

The next day I called to see how she was doing. Afterlearning that she needed food, I called one of our

supporters that had mentioned they wished to helpsomeone on an individual basis. Lorraine reached out

to JB and visited her that day.

After a personal conversation with JB, sister Lorraine

went out and purchased food and other things needed.The loving-kindness that was extended toward JB

throughout the week has led JB to ask Lorraine topick her up for church! Praise the Lord!

..many of these young ladies aremaking wrong choices out ofdesperation and brokenness.
