Turning lives from
crime to Christ
Christmas Angel
COVID-19 has affected many families financially, emotionally, and spiritually this year. We are delighted to be a part of sharing the love, peace and joy that comes from Christ by blessing families of inmates, ex-offenders and those in need. Due to the CDC’s COVID-19 health regulations and guidelines, we are having to approach our Christmas Angel Mission differently and will not be able to gather or have parties. We know this is a change from past years, but we feel very blessed to still be able to reach so many.
St. Louis City and County
Many volunteers from local churches in the St. Louis County and City area have joined Mission Gate Ministry's Christmas Angel Mission to make home deliveries this year. Gifts will be distributed to the families December 17th and 18th. Please contact (636) 391-8932 to find out more information and details for gift drop-off location.
Crawford County
In Crawford County we will also be making home deliveries with the help of volunteers from local churches, The Sheriff’s Department and local churches and businesses will be collecting gifts. Volunteers along with Hannah's Ranch and Fort Good Shepherd residents will be delivering gifts. Gifts will be distributed to the homes the evening of Dec. 18th. Gifts will need to be dropped off at Delhi Baptist Church 3170 State Hwy UU, Cuba, MO 65453.
This mission would not be possible without the help of our donors and volunteers. If you would like to volunteer in wrapping, passing out of gifts, etc. for either of these events, please contact (636) 391-8932. All volunteers will be asked to wear a mask.

"Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away." - Matthew 19:13-15
What Mission Gate is all about
Bringing freedom into prison

Our staff and volunteers take the Gospel into Missouri prisons and jails.
They share the Gospel, teach strategies for right living, and help inmates break the chains of crime.
What a privilege it is to see ex-prisoners' eyes light up when they see a ray of hope. Change becomes believable. Life becomes manageable. Living life fully becomes a reality.

Partnering with communities
Local churches and communities are an important part of our recovery program.
Churches welcome our men and women as contributing members of the congregation, helping them put their spiritual gifts to work.
Many local employers prefer to hire from Mission Gate because of our residents' positive attitudes, excellent work attendance, and job performance with no worry about drugs or alcohol.
