Gateway Bible Baptist Church
Gateway was originally planted by Ralph and Becky Done over 25 years ago. They handed it over to Pastor Peter Shek, a local bi-vocational pastor who faithfully served there for 20+ years. Due to numerous health problems, Pastor Shek stepped down. The church was without a pastor for 3 years. That is when God led our family to Gateway. Over the last three years, the church has grown from a weekly attendance of 35 people to almost 80 (despite 6 months of protests and 2 years of an international pandemic).

Evangelism Training
One of our main methods of evangelism is to lead a one to one or small group Bible study called Creation To Christ (C2C). The study is meant to introduce people who have little biblical background to the story of the Bible. This chronological study through the Bible focuses on the big life questions every human craves to answer- Where did I come from? Why am I here? Why is there so much suffering in the world? and Where will I go when I die? Not only are we always trying to start these studies with unbelievers, but we are also working to train local Christians to lead C2C studies on their own.
University English Outreach
This past fall, we were able to start an English Corner on a local university campus. We had 20 mainland students come each week to practice their English. We have since invited the class into our home and to our church for different activities and are working towards starting C2C studies with some of them. This new ministry is a wide-open opportunity for sharing the gospel with many. However, we are very busy with the oversight of the church. We are praying for TEAMMATES to join our ministry ASAP to oversee this outreach.
