Mission:
Gateway Ministries exists to ensure that no one who dreams of Jesus is left without a clear opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel in their own language and cultural context.
Vision:
We envision men and women from every nation who encounter Jesus through dreams, respond to the Gospel, and make disciples who make disciples.
Overview:
Across the Muslim world and other unreached regions, countless men and women are reporting vivid dreams of Jesus—often described as “the man in white.” These moments awaken deep spiritual hunger, but without access to the Gospel, many are left without answers. Gateway Ministries exists to ensure that when God opens a heart through a dream, a clear and loving pathway to the Gospel follows. Through culturally sensitive outreach, translation, and partnerships with local believers and churches, we help people hear, understand, and respond to the good news of Jesus Christ in their own language and context, and assist them in getting connected to a local church and beginning a lifelong journey of discipleship and disciple-making.
How is your organization spreading the Gospel?
Gateway Ministries spreads the Gospel by responding to one of the most extraordinary spiritual movements in the Muslim world today. Over the past several decades, it is widely believed that tens of millions of Muslims have chosen to follow Jesus—far more than in the previous 1,400 years since the rise of Islam. A striking common thread in many of these conversions is a vivid dream or vision of Jesus, often described as “the man in white.” Field workers report that dreams play a significant role in the journey to faith for an estimated 30% to 90% of Muslim converts.
Yet the vast majority of unreached Muslims face an enormous barrier: more than 85% do not know a single follower of Christ, and most have no access to a Bible or Gospel resources. Many who experience these dreams are left with deep spiritual questions and nowhere to turn. Gateway Ministries meets them at this critical moment. We place culturally sensitive digital ads in unreached regions asking, “Have you dreamed of a man in white?” Respondents share their dreams and questions, and we reply with thoughtful engagement, a clear presentation of the Gospel, and an invitation to ongoing conversation. We connect seekers with local believers when possible, direct them to our website for Gospel resources, Bible downloads, and videos, and enroll them in follow-up email journeys that repeatedly present the Gospel and invite them into Discovery Bible Studies and discipleship.
To date, we have responded to more than 4,000 dreams from unreached Muslims in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Mauritania. We hope to expand this work through a partnership with Favor International, extending Gospel access into Uganda, South Sudan, and Chad. Through local radio outreach and on-the-ground follow-up, we hope to ensure that those awakened by dreams of Jesus are given a clear opportunity to hear the Gospel, respond in faith, and begin a journey of discipleship.
