Gateway Church

And that’s a wrap! The Family Mission Team at the Okanagan Gleaners 2024 is all cleaned up and most have headed home. 🎉Thanks again to the amazing team from Gateway Church and also the incredible staff and leadership of the Okanagan Gleaners. It was an excellent week of service, community and friendship! We are so thankful to you all… and to our God who makes the impossible, POSSIBLE! ❤️

Day 3 of the Family Mission Team at the OK Gleaners. 🎊 we had done fundraising by doing a bbq at the church in June, plus some bottle drives…. and so we presented the Gleaners Treasurer Val, a donation check for over $3080!!

And Val gave us some of the dehydrated soup to bring home. That’s a pretty fair trade! 👏

Day 2 of the Family Mission Team at the OK Gleaners in Oliver. 🎊🎊 Today we got to be a part of vegetable production as we cleaned and chopped hundreds of vegetables that went into the driers to be dehydrated. We finished one dryer completely and got a good start on a second for tomorrow. It was an amazing day of everybody from the Littles to the Old pitching in to work together.

Did you know the OK Gleaners send dehydrated soup mix with organizations such as World vision, Samaritans purse, and Feed the children? 😊 And in the warehouse, are crates of dehydrated soup ready to be sent to the Gazza strip for aid relief. And this is what we get to be a part of right Here in our province! 🎊💖Glory to God!

Plus as a team we played some games together, built, friendships, and community, and got to spend some time on the lake. That’s one fantastic day. ❤️

Here’s day 1 of the Family Mission Team at the Ok Gleaners in Oliver BC. 🎊we had such an incredible first day! Because it was the holiday Monday, the Gleaners weren’t doing vegetable chopping production and so we volunteered to do service projects! 👏

My goodness this team of 42 worked incredibly hard doing maintenance projects around the plant in 35° weather! I’m so proud of them and so thankful for all their hard work as missionaries of the gospel of Christ today. 🥰🎊

Hebrews 12:1-2 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith."

Hebrews 11:3 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible."

Ephesians 5:1-2 “Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us.”

John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

“But in your hearts, set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” 1 Peter 3:15

Happy Father's Day!

"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’" Acts 17:24-28

"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." 1 Corinthians 12:12-14

"As the father has sent me, so I am sending you." John 20:21

1 Corinthians 16:9 "There is a wide-open door for a great work here."

Happy Mother's Day!

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." Matthew 7:3-5

HE HAS RISEN! What a wonderful morning to come together and celebrate Jesus' great love!

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." Matthew 28:6

"'He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed.’" 1 Peter 2:24

"The great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna!' 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Blessed is the king of Israel!' Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: 'Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.'” John 12:12-13

Psalm 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, that’s how far he has removed our transgressions from us."

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:30-32

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
