Pray

We want to develop people who are growing in the ability to recognize and respond to the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit.

We are committed to the notion that every believer is gifted and called to ministry, that each of us are to usher in the Kingdom of God where we are. Prayer plays a major role in seeing the Kingdom come on earth and seeing God move among us.

We gather for prayer in the Prayer Room at Gateway on Fridays from 6.15 – 7.15 am followed by breakfast.

There is also pre-service prayer from 9.30 am and 6.00 pm every Sunday.

Anyone is welcome to come and pray for our church, community and world.

Gateway Healing Rooms

The Healing Rooms are a safe place where people with prayer ministry experience are available to pray for your physical healing.  They are open on the second Wednesday of each month, 7.30 – 9pm in the Nursery. [Access the Nursery from the carpark ramp]. No  appointment is required, but please arrive not later than 8.30pm. For more information, phone the church office 8391284 or email Yvonne and Barry jonesfamily4@clear.net.nz

On arrival you will be welcomed and shown into the Encounter Room which is set up to create a relaxing  atmosphere where you can silently focus on God before going into the Prayer Room for ministry. Comfortable seating, quiet worship music, soft lighting and the opportunity to take communion, creates a place of peace and intimacy with God.

In the Prayer Room, 2 or 3 people will pray for your healing. If you have a gender preference for those who pray for you we ask that you share that with us. After you have received ministry you are welcome to return to the Encounter Room to soak again in God’s presence.

When visiting the Healing Rooms, you are welcome to bring a support person with you.

Testimonies:

  • “During ministry someone with years of sinus pain saw fire in their sinus tubes. The pain disappeared immediately and for 12months now they have been pain free even when flying and their sinuses remain healed.”
  • “One side of a person’s face was numb, affecting their nose, cheek, lower eye lid and mouth. As they were prayed for they felt a cool sensation move through their face as feeling began to return. The healing was completed over the next few days. Their specialist said this type of numbing usually recedes at a rate of 1mm/month but this receded 50mm in twenty minutes.”
  • “My spouse and I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of the Healing Rooms. We were impacted by the team’s care and their passion to see Jesus heal my spouse. It was an opportunity to receive an extended time of prayer.’”
  • ‘I was blessed at the Healing Rooms. The people were caring and ministry time wasn’t rushed.’
  • ‘A few weeks ago I strained my ankle in a fall.  I received much prayer and each time I was prayed for my ankle improved.  It had reached the stage that I could walk for an hour without difficulty, but there was still a niggling pain, especially when I laid on that side in bed.  I visited the Healing Rooms at Gateway Church for other healing, but asked the team to also pray for my ankle.  The niggling pain left while the team ministered and has not returned since.  It is now several days later – praise God for finishing the work and thank you ladies for you prayers.’
