Missions outreach is an integral part of Freedom Gate Church. Each fall we hold a mission conference to update and renew faith promises for support of our missionaries. We support local, national and international endeavors.
Dr. Hope Taylor
ILE
The mission of ILE is to connect and inform the praying church in America with the cultural mountain of government. Traveling in and out of DC and around the nation, Dr. Taylor addresses the political and cultural issues of our day from a Biblical/Kingdom world-view. Dr. Hope is optimistic about some potential breakthroughs for growth for ILE in 2019. Join him in praying for direction and favor. An immediate need for the ministry is a new computer. ILE's MacBook has been the mobile office now for over 10 years and has served him well while traveling many miles; however, it is showing some signs of wear and tear. Let’s bless Hope and meet this need.

Dr. Donald and Marlis Shamblin
Servant’s Ministry
Donald and Marlis are seasoned missionaries who have travelled the globe for several decades. They started this year in the Philippines but were called home prematurely as Marlis’ daughter became very ill. A short time later, both Donald and Marlis were diagnosed with cancer. After going through treatments, Marlis is now in remission and Donald’s tumor has shrunk significantly. Let’s honor their many years of missionary service as they continue to recover. They are eager to return to the mission field!

David Van Fleet
StreetLife Ministries – New York City
StreetLife is an urban ministry located in New York City. They bring transformation through their homeless outreach, prayer stations, short-term mission trips, and internships. FGC has sent many different teams of young people and adults to serve alongside this ministry. The Van Fleets constantly reach out to the homeless and needy of that diverse community. David does not charge an elaborate fee for teams to come and serve there throughout the year. So we are helping to support this ministry with paying utilities and other living expenses.

Mike and Mollie Haught
Turkey
As the government continues to ratchet up persecution of Christians in Turkey, the work that we are supporting through Mike and Mollie is more significant than ever. The media ministry that is able to broadcast into this predominantly Muslim nation is filling a void that is not being filled by other means at this moment in history. The recent publicity over the case of Pastor Brunson shows the depth of persecution Christians face when they try to be “boots on the ground.” Let’s make sure the airways are filled with the love of God.

Gospel Mission Food Pantry and Latrobe Street Mission
Local Ministries
Both the Food pantry and Latrobe St. Mission ministries have proven in the last few years that they are a much needed and integral part of the fabric of our region. The Food Pantry helps many families each week and provides holiday dinners to several families feeling financial pressure. Latrobe Street, under the capable leadership of Steve and Sandy Clay, has helped many individuals and families off the street and has provided them with a stable environment to get them back on their feet.

Young Life - Kirk Wilson/Jim Sallie
This relational ministry aimed at students has been established at Parkersburg South High School. Last year 65 students participated. Eighteen of those students attended a summer camp and three made commitments to Jesus. This year YL is starting off campus meetings and Bible studies so the kids can get more of their friends involved. Pray for this ministry to spread throughout our region to all the high schools.

Women’s Care Center
We are so thankful for your participation and support of the Women’s Care Center and all the work they do to save unborn babies.

We are proud to partner with them to offer an alternative to abortion. *2017 statistics used

Ben continues to travel extensively throughout the year despite a medical diagnosis that would slow most people down. He frequently travels to Mexico, Honduras, Central American nations, South Africa and many more. He does leadership training, speaks in churches, prays for the sick, and encourages the Body of Christ. He has eight international meetings scheduled over the next year and seven open invitations from other nations. His greatest financial need is for airfare to the many nations he travels. Ben will Go as long as we help Send.

Apostle Kwasi Appiah
Waves of Glory - Ghana
From his base in Kumasi, Ghana, Apostle Kwasi travels extensively throughout Africa to spread the gospel. His trips into rural, desert communities have yielded several new church plants despite the strong Muslim influence. Kwasi is an apostolic father to several younger pastors and an advisor to some governmental leaders. He has recently started building a medical facility but rented office space to start a clinic because the need is too dire to wait for construction to be finished. He is asking for money for a microscope and a maternity delivery bed, among other items. We can help make that much-needed hospital a reality.

General/Emergency Fund
This contingency fund is to meet needs not specifically addressed in our missions conference. We have been able to help with situations that come up unexpectedly; for example, giving towards disaster relief for flooding and/ or assisting missionaries who have an immediate need and do not have the finances to meet it. This past year, for example, we helped a local couple who were going to minister in China have Bibles printed so that they could hand them out on their trip. We also donated toward ministry initiatives here locally not listed during our conference.
