What a year to be thriving! In 2020, Greenhouse was able to share the gospel and pray with 876 people via our micro-church and 346 neighbors at outreach events. Over 75 families received food and 35 kids got toys over Christmas. Here’s how your generosity plus God’s work added up to create real life change.

Happy 2021! Thank you so much for keeping us going through prayer, giving, volunteering and sharing our vision with others. There’s more work to be done! Here’s what God has put on our hearts this new year.

When Emily and I dreamt about Greenhouse Project, we envisioned and prayed about a community where our home would be a safe place that all could come. We called it, “A City of Refuge.” Imagine getting kicked out of your house after experiencing trauma? Where would you go at 11:39pm if you needed help?

As we think about giving and receiving, we’re sharing this story of Mrs. S. and her struggle to feed her household of 10 for the month. What’s small for some is a game changer for others… $242 was our best “yes” when we responded without hesitation to her call for help.

Waking up the Saturday of Project Clean-up last month, a day we set out to clean the trash overwhelming our streets and connect with neighbors, we knew it was going to be a busy day.

You never know what can happen with just one step of faith! I recently met a man named SC who reached out for support while staying at a local recovery house.

Every second Saturday of the month we focus on reaching neighbors. We pray as a team and hit the streets to be with them. It’s as simple as that, and yet, not so simple.

A few summers ago, John Clifford and I flew out to the West Coast to spend a few days with a ministry that worked with the homeless population in Los Angeles.

Anyone else need a break from the negative news and social media? Here’s an inspiring story full of hope about one man’s life transformation.

Greenhouse Project is excited to announce the official start of a community collaboration with Paramount Recovery House, and, in only a way God could orchestrate, they are just two doors down from us!

Our article “The Underpass,” posted in January 2019, shares part of my journey with a man named CW. We met six years ago while I was on staff at Cityteam and CW entered our homeless shelter, and later, the recovery program.

At Greenhouse, one of our core values is community. This means we make long-term commitments to local communities and the people that reside in them.

Over these past few months we have been noticing a buzz in our neighborhood. It's getting warmer and more people are out and about.

This summer, we have some exciting news to share. Starting July 1st, 2020, Emily and I will transition to be full-time staff with GHP.

When I met Sheila about 10 years ago, we quickly became friends. Shelia is a warm, kind, compassionate person who absolutely loves God. She is also a single mom, raising 10 children and her grandchildren.

At the Greenhouse Project, we are on a mission to help people grow in difficult places. What that difficult place looks like varies from person to person. One individual’s difficult place might be a physical address or zip code, while another’s could be addiction.

March 7th, 2020 marked 13 years of freedom from drug addiction through the Power of Jesus Christ. My life changed in a jail cell in 2006, while I was at the lowest point in my life.

Have you ever experienced God’s ability to take the simplest of events and tie them together in such a way that shows the power of His love? Where you are just going about what you believe to be your own plans and God reveals ways to use you to extend His love to others? This happened to my family and I recently.
