Our Director
Angela Andrews
Hi, I’m Angela! Since 2020 you would likely find me feasting around the Gatehouse table on many a Taco Tuesday, mentoring students and enjoying discovering their stories and hearts, and filling in for the house parents. Community living feels so natural and fun to me as I grew up in a big family bursting at the seams with life! My relationship with Jesus started as far back as I can remember and when I would hear missionaries at church talk about the nations, I just knew that I too was born to share the love of Jesus to the ends of the earth! This led me to get a Missions degree from Liberty University before launching to the mission field. I have served the youth and young adults in the Caribbean for over 25 years through hosting mission teams, leading worship, running summer camps, leading young adult ministries, working for the local church, serving as Resident Director of student housing and mentoring young adults. Following God’s leading in 2018, I headed west to California for a new adventure and I am thrilled to know that Gatehouse has been a big part of that why! There is no greater joy than coming alongside these young adults from all over the world and seeing them encounter the love and goodness of God, and in the process discover who God has created them to be. Gatehouse is an easy YES!

Testimonials
Past Student Experiences
The friendships I have formed at Gatehouse can simply be described as that of brothers and sisters. I have cried and laughed hysterically with these people. Living at the gatehouse has given me fellowship and support which exceeds what I had hoped for.
Larissa Peters, CMA, Indonesia
Emotionally I have developed friendships with others like me who have experienced some of the same struggles and joys that I have. Financially, Gatehouse has helped me graduate with greatly reduced debt, allowing me to go overseas sooner than I expected. Above all, Gatehouse has been a refuge for me in which to grow spiritually and learn what it means to be a follower of Christ both here and overseas.
Amy Arney, OGR, Philippines
Living at Gatehouse has given me the opportunity to stay at Simpson, which I may otherwise not have been able to afford. I have also benefited from being able to draw upon the Gatehouse network and staff for support and encouragement with practical needs.
