There are times throughout the year that we all pause
and say, "Wow, time flies!" As we now are in the
month of August, it is hard to believe that school is
soon beginning again! Where did the summer go?
Nonetheless, "time flies!"
It is with excitement and anticipation that we look to
the opening of Gateway Christian Academy for
another school year. With an increased emphasis on
academic excellence, technological increases, and
school pride (under the umbrella of teaching a Biblical worldview), we are expecting a great
year of advancement that GCA students & their parents will experience. There continues to
remain enrollment openings for additional students in GCA's daycare, pre-school, elementary,
middle school, and high school.
In addition, our church’s leadership training program Gateway U will hold classes on the
Wednesdays of August 20 & 27 at 7 pm each night. Gateway U classes enable everyone in the
church to educate themselves on the various ministries of Gateway and how they can get
involved and serve.
As the Apostle Paul encourages us to "redeem the time" (Ephesians 4), may we make the best
use of our time to invest in our children's futures by enrolling them in Gateway Christian
Academy and to invest our time and efforts as adults by attending Gateway U to build our
ministry effectiveness.

Greetings brothers and sisters at Gateway,
We are grateful to the Lord and continue to be amazed at the mighty things He has done. We have had a very busy and fruitful summer. We praise the Lord for the group from Gateway that came and ministered among us.
Please pray for the precious children who accepted Christ in their hearts. Pray that the seed that was planted would continue to grow and bring forth much fruit throughout their lives. The work in Moldova continues to grow and move forward. We are grateful to the Lord that He has given us a small part in His overall work. Also, please continue to pray for God to continually strengthen us as we serve Him. We love you and are praying for you!
