No One Can Stop God's Kingdom
Do you need to be reminded today how small things have great influence? Be encouraged by Jesus’ illustration comparing a small amount of yeast, put inside gallons of flour, to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Why Mike Volunteers with Us
Do you like to garden? Are you good at DIY projects or fixing things around the house? We could use your help! Come see why Greenhouse Project volunteers love to help us grow.
Peace in Crisis
Sometimes I ask God to bring us tons of snow, no matter the time of year. It brings a perfect peace that covers over everything, and has a way of making almost everything stop, slow down and relax. I’m praying the following story of my friend Joe encourages you… in the midst of a terminal health prognosis, his response shows an assurance of the peace of God like new fallen snow.
God’s Hand + Your Help = Big Impact
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.
Let's Dream and *Live* Big in 2021
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.
11:39 pm
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?
What Does $242 Mean to You?
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.
Project Clean-up a Success!
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.
One Step, Big Payoff
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.
PROJECT CLEAN UP
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.
What is Greenhouse?
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.
Our First Baptism: Mario
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.
New Chester Community Partnership
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!
NO LONGER HOMELESS, CW GOES HOME
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.
VISIT, SERVE, LOVE
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.
BASKETBALL, KIDS, AND POLICE
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.
IT'S HAPPENING!
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.
Loss in Our Community
In one day, everything can change. June 7th started off as an ordinary day. Sundays are usually very long days for me.
What can we do?
These past few months have left me feeling completely helpless. Between the COVID-19 pandemic and witnessing George Flyod's horrific death, I am beginning to wonder if I can make a difference at all.
One Life Changed
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.
