What Others Say
"In spring 2009, I visited Narrow Gate on a mission trip. While I was there, I had an experience of a lifetime. Sure, the games were fun and the Bible studies incredible, but that wasn't what touched me. What touched me was their worship. The people at Narrow Gate really worshipped with their whole heart. They sang. They danced. And they shouted, all for the glory of God. It reminded me of King David dancing with all his might to worship the LORD: 'David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the Lord with all his might.' 2 Samuel 6:14. Much like David, everyone at Narrow Gate gave themselves up to worship Jesus without a care who was watching. This amazed and inspired me. It showed me a genuine way to worship God that wasn't just singing the same songs over and over again. My time at Narrow Gate taught me to worship with my whole heart."

"My name is Brad Major, and I currently serve at the Harding Place Family YMCA. Recently I joined a group of young people at the second week of Barefoot Republic Camp and had the chance to meet the Narrow Gate crew. I want to let you know how amazing and uplifting it was to meet, listen to, observe and learn from those humble servants! I have the honor, privilege and blessing of coordinating community outreach programs and working with the youth here at our center. It is my sincere hope to involve the "guys" in some events and projects at the Y as, without a doubt, they would be wonderful role models for our members and our community and ministry partners."

"Narrow Gate has opened up a whole new world for me. My nephew, Zach, was without love or discipline and, sadly, did not have any true knowledge of Jesus. The wonderful people at Narrow Gate embraced my nephew. They loved him and led him. Through Narrow Gate, Zach found Christ and began to learn how he should live his life. As my husband and I watched Zach grow in Christ, we began to grow as well. God works miracles through Narrow Gate. We are all blessed to belong to Narrow Gate.”

"Ever since I heard the Narrow Gate guys give their testimonies, they have been on my mind and heart! Their spirit, determination and their drive to reach other young men really touched me. Please let them know that I am praying for them everyday – for their strength, their courage, their deliverence – and that I am very touched by their testimonies."

"It is an understatement to say that it was wonderful to bring out my students for a visit to Narrow Gate! Visiting Narrow Gate broadened our relationships, and we were all touched by the ministry's generous hospitality and everyone's willingness to share their lives with us. We look forward to continuing in relationship with Narrow Gate. We were grateful for the opportunity to come out and serve -- however, I know that you all served us in a great way. God is at work at Narrow Gate, and all of us were changed by Him through you."
