We don’t always understand a vision until we pursue it. God has given Bridging The Gap a vision and it’s becoming more and more apparent, the more we pursue it.  We believe with the help of community paterners, that Bridging The Gap will be a conduit to hand out grace to everyone that needs a hand up.  John 1:14, reminds us that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. The latter portion of that verse is the breath of our vision. We believe no matter where one has gone, no matter what one has done and no matter how low one has been in a state, Christ has enough grace to redeem us all. We believe in his redeeming power, and we offer that same grace to all that we come into fellowship with, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, religion, or income level.

In 2019, Briding The Gap through by it’s founding organization Gates of Zion Worship Center, was able to purchase the old Thomas School building in the Midway Community. It is part of our vision, as the Lord makes it clear, to revitalize our community by first renovating this property as a Community Center. In addition, we believe God will open up opportunities, that we may be able to minister to our community by bringing in resources to nurture relationships.  We want to empower our youth by helping to prep and navigate their options, as they advance the public education systems. We have come to understand that our society is no longer elderly friendly. So likewise, it’s our mission to be elderly friendly and encourage health and active lives no matter the age, by partnering with Healthcare agencies that can support our elderly. Above all, again, it is the purpose of Bridging The Gap, to hand out grace to all we come into fellowship with.

It should be a constant reminder to us all, that we are to give God our best and to have great expectations of his awesome abilities in us and through us. We must continue to pray for refreshed and renewed spirits, and thank God for changes manifested in the lives of His people. Therefore, God requires our commitment….. there are steps that only you can take and people only you can reach, therefore, wherever you may reside we encourage you too to become active in your community as an instrument unto God.
