Our days are usually full of heavy challenges, but today feels like a ‘win’ as we celebrate the baptisms of FOUR recovering addicts we’ve been discipling! Jesus, show yourself to them in powerful ways that their faith and perseverance might grow.

So many doors have opened lately with developments “behind the scenes” so to speak, including this one about our new headquarters… an answer to prayer about 5 yrs in the making!

It came so fast this time around, but our team is celebrating a Happy 2 Year Anniversary since going full time! Take a look back with us to see how God moved us forward and the impact of your support in Chester.

Coming off the year with the highest overdose deaths, we are working harder than ever to prevent this latest story of loss in our recovery community. Will you join us in the fight for true freedom from addiction?

Get to know Donny Martin and his wife, Rachelle. They’re about to endeavor on a huge reno project for their uninhabitable home in a crime-riddled neighborhood in Chester. Why are they saying ‘yes’ to this opportunity most would run away from?

As I celebrate an incredible 15 years sober, my hope is to bless and encourage others by sharing the most meaningful things I’ve learned about living clean.

This is a major theme in our counseling and addiction support. The past few months has had us fielding calls from more people than ever, and with bigger challenges. Parents who struggle with children in addiction can sometimes be the most heartbreaking scenario because there’s a unique, strong burden to help them thrive and keep them protected.

When we first bought our 42 House, George was one of the first people to visit, curious what we were doing there. I remember sharing with him in front of the dilapidated shell of a house that God loves to restore people. And just like how God was helping restore the house, He was calling us to help restore our neighbors too.

Located on the west side of Chester on one of the most challenged blocks in Chester, the 912 House is our second location that puts us with the most vulnerable in the city. The 912 House is, however, in uninhabitable condition and we’ve embarked on prayer meetings and demolition projects to prepare for the transformation this house deserves.

The Greenhouse Project team is humbled by the support of loyal volunteers, partners and friends – thank you for helping us thrive during a time of so much uncertainty. We continue to believe that Jesus will increase our impact in 2022! Here’s how we are dreaming big for this year.

Imagine if you never had your Christmas dreams come true? Getting just one or two gifts is a stretch for many families that live in our community. Our annual Christmas Toy drive was truly special this year… here’s how YOU showed up big to bless more families than expected!

In mid-December we highlighted an urgent need of a single mom with kids who lost everything in a house fire–with no place to go but their car. Here’s an update on the direct impact our generous donors have made to help them through this crisis.

Our third community trash clean up day was just like the others… a unifying effort where almost every neighbor stepped outside to be involved, even folks we haven’t met yet. This unique time allows for everyone to have ownership over cleaning our street and opens the door to deep conversations and opportunities to pray together.

Have you ever had a date invitation that sounded like, “hey, wanna drive around Chester and pray over the ghetto areas and see if God will show us something?” Well... She said yes. Here’s a little back story… really a GOD story… of how Emily and I came to start our ministry Greenhouse Project.

What is the value of a life changed? It’s profound to think of the impact a single person can have on an entire community, and beyond, when we consider how God can multiply His message and advance His kingdom through the way we invest in others. This one goes out to Lisa. Thank you, dear friend.
