We are excited to welcome Brett Toft as our guest for Missions Weekend at Gateway. Here is a primer on who he is an how he serves as a Foursquare Missions International missionary:
Brett and his wife Tammy established The River Foursquare Church in Fort Collins, Colorado, in 1994 as a home church planted with a team of six families. Under their leadership, The River has mentored and released five pastors and teams to plant churches in Colorado and Estonia. Brett and Tammy have celebrated 30 years of marriage, and have four great kids: Ronnie, Joelle, Grace and Shelby.
Brett has worked with leaders and churches in the Baltic/Scandinavian region the past 18 years, primarily to encourage and exhort the pastors and to help them to clarify vision and minister effectively in their local churches. In 2006, Brett and Tammy accepted the invitation of Foursquare Missions International to plant a church in Copenhagen, Denmark, and to ultimately establish Foursquare churches in nations throughout the Scandinavian and Baltic region.
They have established Serve The City, a mission to Tallinn, Estonia, and assisted in Budapest, Hungary, Wroclaw and Krakow, Poland, and Helsinki, Finland. Brett serves as an elder in the Fellowship of European Foursquare Churches.

This past Sunday we set our theme for 2016 at Gateway: Equipped to Shine. In the coming year our prayer is that as a church and as individuals we will be prepared by God to accomplish the tasks that He has set before us. We have the promise that God will give us the gifts, talents, insights, understanding and strength that we need to be useful servants of our Lord Jesus. God has good things for you to equip you. Be ready to be equipped, get ready to shine.
Hebrews 13:20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer Points
- That we would receive equipping from godly believes, the word of God and God’s supernatural gifts.
- Understanding of our unique mission and part in the body of Christ.
- That we would shine brighter than ever in the face of darkness in the world.
Don’t miss out on tonight’s prayer meeting.
7pm at Gateway

In my devotions yesterday I read a simple verse that gives us a lot of practical direction about prayer. Luke 5:16 tells us that “Jesus himself frequently withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.” Jesus the Son of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, God in the flesh needed to pray. As we begin this year let’s take advantage of a source of strength, direction and fellowship that can be ours as we give ourselves to prayer.
-Pastor Matt
Prayer Points:
- More salvations through the ministries of Gateway this year
- More disciples to grow in their walk with the Lord
- An increased understanding of the love of God for each person that calls Gateway home.
Prayer Meeting
Tomorrow night 7pm at Gateway.
