Preaching the Gospel

Helping the poor

© 2020 Gateway to Hope

June, 2020

Greetings!

We want to take this opportunity to thank our prayer partners and financial supporters for your faithful support and encouragement while we have laboured for the Lord in Romania.  Due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic our stay in Canada has been extended.  At this point we are not sure of a return date or even if the Lord will lead us back to Romania when the restrictions are lifted.  The pandemic, visa issues, health concerns, and our own growing awareness the Lord may be leading us into a different type of ministry either in Canada or Romania have given us the desire to take an extended period of time to seek the Lord in prayer.  

We love our partners in ministry, Reinhard & Darcey Neufeld, and what they are accomplishing through Gateway to Hope and the Rasa Family Centre.  We also love the many other missionaries we have met while in Romania and wonder if there is a role for us in helping multiple organizations, including Gateway to Hope.  Regardless of how we are thinking and feeling right now, we are committed to following the Lord’s leading in our lives.  Please pray with us as we seek the Lord’s will in the coming months.

Due to the uncertainty in our lives as well as some legal requirements in the country of Romania, we have resigned from Gateway to Hope.  This means we will no longer be accepting monthly support through The Great Commission Foundation. 

Once again, we thank you for your support and encouragement these last five years and invite you to continue praying for us that we may find joy in the place God has for us right now and that we would discern His will for our lives in the coming months and years.

- John & Doris Storey
