The scriptures are laced with commands to care for the poor and Jesus himself said that he came to bring good news to the poor (Luke 4:18).  We cannot ignore the plight of the poor and call ourselves followers of Jesus.  Many of our ministries at Gateway are expressions of love and concern for those who are financially disadvantaged.

Gateway beyond is fighting poverty and injustice through programs of community development, income generation, literacy and health education in Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea, caring for orphaned children in Thailand through Lyndal Brunner, providing vocational training for victims of trafficking in Cambodia through Ruth & Murray Larwill, and in Uganda through the work of  Watoto which has its Australia office on the Gateway premises staffed by Mark Bradshaw and Eden Dean. Gateway also sends short-term teams to train and equip Heal Africa hospital staff in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

We are also fighting poverty by giving medical help; in Cambodia through Steve & Lisa West-Newman, in West Africa through Trevor Haylock on Mercy Ships, and in Kenya through Ryan & Anna Cuthel serving with MAF and CURE International.
