Fire Church Member

Gateway Bible Fellowship in Dacono, Colorado!

We would appreciate all the prayer we can receive from our fellow FIRE churches. We are in the last few days of getting our new facility ready to move in. Our church plant is coming up on 18 years old, and we are finally on the doorstep of moving into our own home. We still have quite a bit of work that needs to be done, and then there is the all-important "sign off" by the city that will grant us occupancy. We are feverishly working and we would appreciate the prayerful support of God’s people to assist us in attaining that goal.

Sincerely,

Mike DeVries
Pastor, Gateway Bible Fellowship
