Haiti - Seeds of Hope
Added 01/13/2010
UPDATE 5/20/2010:
This week, the last of our 35K lbs of Haitian seed corn is being placed in farmers' hands. The area had been facing a food crisis. Many were unable to get seed, with fields lying dormant while families starved. Now with harvest in 3-4 months, they'll have food to feed their families and a cash crop to sell. In the end, about 1500 farmers received seed and have already begun to plant it. We estimate it could yield about 35 MILLION servings of food! Pray for continued rains for a maximum harvest for these farmers.
To meet our missions team and partners, see photo and video updates from the field-- including crop updates-- and more, find Global Aid Partnership on Facebook.
Glorious Way Church is still accepting missions donations to help Haiti. From revolutionary orphan care to clinics and education, your gifts are supporting long-term solutions, changing lives and strengthening the Body of Christ.
UPDATE 4/28/2010: Our Houston Team is back from another successful trip! Through our missions arm, Global Aid Partnership, we are reaching Haitians with the tangible love of Jesus while strengthening local churches and ministries who work wonders there every day.
Because of this trip, children in the shanty town of Madame Beauge' will now have a bright new school--and a way up and out of crushing poverty. Also, right now Haitian farmers all over rural Haiti are receiving our seed corn just in time for the end of planting season. Come harvest, they'll have food and a cash crop to sustain themselves. Our team also got to minister in a local church.
Since the quake, we have distributed 75 tons of aid to Haiti, and because of GOD, it bypassed the clogged docks of Port Au Prince and our ministry network there distributed it quickly to those who needed it most. It was awesome to see the good fruit remaining. An LA times article below shows the importance of supporting rural Haiti.
UPDATE 3/10/2010: Global
Aid Partnership, our sister organization, has just obtained enough seed corn to supply 4,500 rural families! It's premium seed formulated especially to grow in Haitian soil. We need your help with shipping
costs. Please get everyone on board. This project is bigger than us, and the planting season ends soon.
Even before the Jan 12 earthquake, an estimated 1/3 of the population suffered from chronic hunger. Since the quake, we have sent 50 tons of goods to Haiti, mostly food, water and medical supplies. We're also now working on 25 additional tons of urgently needed medical supplies. The aid is being distributed through a network of more than 40 local pastors or ministers. They have survived the quake themselves, and are shining the light of God's love to their communities.
Together we will help rebuild the lives of children and their families. Help us plant seeds of hope!

Haiti quake is
beginning to be felt miles away
Reporting from Saint-Marc, Haiti - February 24, 2010
Even in normal times, Edwin Andre has all he can do to eke
out a living from the corn, tomatoes and sweet potatoes he coaxes from an acre
plot in northern Haiti. His wife, Roselaine Cius, peddles the produce roadside
and cooks rice-and-bean plates from a stick-frame lunch shack to help support
their family of eight.
Suddenly, though, eight hungry mouths soared to 18 after
siblings and in-laws from earthquake-ravaged Port-au-Prince fled by rattletrap
bus to this sweep of farmland, a two-hour drive from the capital.
The couple's spare, concrete house -- no bigger than an
average one-bedroom apartment in the United States -- is packed to bursting.
Food once converted to cash goes to feed the homeless loved ones. Money is now
so short that the pair doubt they will be able to buy seeds for the crucial
spring planting season that is only weeks away.
"I don't see how we will have enough money," said
Cius, 40, sweating under a porkpie hat as she ladled rice from a
charcoal-heated pot. "There's no way. There's no money."
The effects of the Jan. 12 earthquake that flattened much of
Port-au-Prince are rippling powerfully across rural Haiti, the poorest swath of
the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.
Villagers are near the breaking point as they try to
accommodate tens of thousands of displaced city dwellers just when they would
be putting their precious resources into preparing for planting. In
desperation, some have resorted to eating their meager seed stocks or killing
their chickens and goats to feed the influx, rather than keeping them to sell.
Fertilizer is expensive and seeds for cereal crops are in
short supply because of damage to the seaport in the capital and wary buying by
wholesalers. Farming areas southwest of Port-au-Prince were also devastated by
the 7.0 quake, which ruined whole towns, such as Leogane, near the epicenter,
and damaged vital irrigation channels.
Agricultural officials and aid workers worry that while
global efforts to help quake victims in Port-au-Prince are hitting their
stride, the ripple effect in the countryside threatens to stymie home farming
and worsen conditions in areas where most people already scrape by on less than
$2 a day. Some experts warn of a quiet agricultural disaster in the making.
Relief workers say only a tiny portion of international aid
has been earmarked for rural Haitians, who account for most of the country's 9
million people. Of $23 million sought for farmers as part of an urgent appeal
by the United Nations, donor governments have provided only about $2 million
for agriculture.
"These communities were already the poorest part of the
country. The countryside is extremely poor and they have very few means to
cope," said Alexander L. Jones, Haiti emergency-response manager for the
U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. "It is putting a lot of stress on
families."
Jones said spot surveys show that the average size of rural
families has nearly doubled, from five members to nine.
Agencies are scrambling to import 2 tons of seeds, plus
hoes, shovels and wheelbarrows, for the farmers, many of whom lost their hand
tools under collapsed homes near Port-au-Prince. The first shipment of 15,000
implements arrived last week. Relief workers are also turning to the Dominican
Republic next door to hunt for seed varieties that are also planted in Haiti.
"The planting season is approaching. We've got to
deliver these seeds before it starts," said Roberto Borlini, who works for
an Italian nonprofit called GVC that plans to distribute seeds and tools to
2,000 families near Petit-Goave, a hard-hit town southwest of the capital.
GVC and at least a couple of dozen other foreign aid
agencies, including such major players as CARE, have focused part of their
efforts on rural areas. But farmland assistance has been overshadowed by the critical
needs in Port-au-Prince.
Haiti's agricultural sector was a basket case even before
the quake.
Years of deforestation have denuded much of the countryside,
helping to degrade overworked soil that doesn't hold nutrients well and yields
food reluctantly.
In a country that grows rice and corn, Haitians get most of
their cereals and many other goods from abroad, making them extraordinarily
expensive. A chicken can cost $7.
Tropical storms two years ago caused $200 million in damage
to food crops. Since the earthquake, the nation's agriculture minister, Joanas
Gue, has called on creditor nations to help by forgiving Haitian debt.
In many ways, relief workers say, it's fortunate that so
many of the displaced found shelter with relatives. The arrangement provides a
smoother way to deliver aid and offers the homeless a healthier alternative to
sleeping in the encampments that have popped up in Port-au-Prince.
But the exodus of an estimated 480,000 people from the
capital has flooded dirt-road villages with city folk who need to eat and have
little interest in hoe-and-spade work. Anyway, there were already too few farm
jobs to go around.
"I don't go out. I don't hear music. I don't see the
things I'm used to seeing," said bored-looking city dweller Richemononde
Cius, 27, the sister of Roselaine. She and other family members piled into a
bus headed for the country two days after the earthquake, which split the
family house in Port-au-Prince, killing a cousin.
As a child, Richemononde Cius spent summers with her farming
relatives, but she never wanted to live in the country. She now bides her time
waiting for ideas from her fiance in Boston on how to join him there.
The 10 newcomers pitch in as they can, then stay outside in
the dirt yard as late as possible before bunking down on concrete floors
covered wall to wall with people.
Roselaine Cius said that feeding the arrivals -- they call
themselves "deportees" -- means she has less food to turn into plates
of rice, beans and bits of chicken to sell for $1.75 at her tin-roof hut. Most
of her customers are in the same boat, though, with fewer able to buy.
"Every morning I have to think about where to get food
for all these people," said her 53-year-old husband. "I can't let
them go hungry."
With funds dwindling, he and his wife have yet to buy seed
for the spring crop of beans, maize and rice.
Half a mile up the road, Luckner Monrinvil and his family
have taken in 10 relatives from Port-au-Prince in two weather-beaten shanties.
The difficulty of finding something to eat has brought
constant anxiety. A few spoonfuls of rice or a bit of boiled breadfruit,
fortified with pieces of processed fish, may be all anyone gets.
The recent harvest of peppers and sweet potatoes was a flop,
a fact Monrinvil attributes to the earth's trembling. He has no cash for seeds.
Monrinvil, 53 years old but taut as a teenager, offers to
show a visitor his half-acre field, a hike of a mile or so. Under a scorching
afternoon sun, he sets out past verdant stands of corn and a wide irrigation
channel that also serves as a swimming pool and bathtub for residents.
But about halfway, Monrinvil reconsiders and asks to turn
back. He is feeling the first pangs of hunger, and they remind him that he
lacks a plan for food this day.
There are so many mouths to feed.

Sometimes you just have to get down and PARTY! About 400 came out to help us celebrate 15 years. (And with fajitas and tres leches on the menu, how could they resist?) If you couldn't come, here's a synopsis:
- We celebrated our "coming of age" as a church, and you could feel big LOVE all through the event.
- Thanks to Pastor John and Gladys Greiner for 15 great years of service.
- Recording artists and GWC long-timers Stephanie Hogan and Nick Odizor performed for the first time the original song "Believe." The acoustic rendition brought the house down. (Or should we say UP?) They began writing it after a Sunday morning message by Pastor Greiner several weeks ago. We'll be hearing more of that song to come! Amazing.
- A huge and talented team of Christian mariachis had the crowd hopping, including Gladys and Youth Director Adam in an all-out jig.
- Gorgeous decorations transported us to an elegant dreamland, south of the border. Thanks, Anne Crawford and army of volunteers.
- Claire had a memorable fight with the law of gravity while giving answers to the GWC Trivia quiz. Gravity won, but she's fine, thanks. Congratulations to quiz winners Carol Koonts and Sheila Sutton.
- Thanks to Gringo's Tex Mex Kitchen for other-worldly food and to Shirley Brown and volunteers for drinks and cake service!
- Thanks to Sylvia Garay and GWKids team for providing BIG fun for kids. The special black-light party room for kids was a hit, while the little kids got a visit from Carlito horse. Fun!
- We laughed and cried through a video montage. It included special prophetic words spoken over GWC throughout the years, including one from the late Pastor John Osteen. The sound of his voice still comforts and inspires us. Thanks to Jay Greiner, Tim Godwin, Lee Auvert and Dan Rubottom for tireless work.
- Some of us boldly dressed for the occasion, most notably the Wilkerson and Batalla families who donned authentic quinceanera dresses from times past. (Michele- from a time WAY past!) So fun!
- From the church staff: Thanks to the church body of Glorious Way Church whose love and faithfulness motivate us every day. We love you!
- THANK YOU JESUS for letting us represent your Name alongside these awesome people. Great days ahead!
Fri, Jan 29. 7:30-9:30. Enjoy worship and bigtime fellowship as we celebrate our "coming of age" and look to the future. Great for newcomers to get to know us. Mexican food, dessert and fun for all. Special events for infants-5th grade in kid zones. Teen tables, too. Longtimers-- Bring a heart full of kind words and testimonies of what our church family has meant to you. Sombrero or frilly dress optional. :-)
Foreign Missions Boost
Added 04/09/2007
Get ready for a harvest of blessing! This year, GWC has upped funding for foreign missions, and ministries are feeling the impact. We’ve taken on new ministries to Israel, the Philippines and India, while boosting existing support of Pastor Varghese, also in India. We’ve also begun monthly support of seasoned evangelist and GWC member Dr. Gary Wood and of the Anderson family who reach India and the Far East. Great reports and testimonies keep rolling in from all six of these worthy ministries. Watch for updates on our missions page.

Ministry Spotlight: Hank & Brenda Kunneman
Added 04/13/2007
Pastors of Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, NE, Hank & Brenda ministered for the first time at GWC in March. It rocked! On Sunday morning, March 11, Brenda preached us into a “new level,” a place where we reach more people and God’s power flows with greater ease. Then at night, Hank confirmed it with many accurate prophetic words. “Glorious Way on the Highway” he kept praying. Neither he nor the church had any idea Pastor Greiner had been considering a new site for future construction… on a major Houston freeway! He spoke many other word-of-knowledge home-runs, and they left our jaws dropping. Don’t you love the power and wisdom of God?
Even months before his visit, Kunneman had been inspiring the church. His ministry to Pastor Greiner during their telephone conversations has confirmed and strengthened him behind the scenes. We can’t yet share some things he’s said, but look at this:
On one of their first conversations and with no knowledge of recent GWC sermon topics, Kunneman felt impressed to share a scripture: Isaiah 12:6- Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. He was surprised to learn that we were in the process of hearing 9 messages on the practice of “crying out.” It was a time God had begun to unfold to our pastor new insight on this powerful way to approach our covenant with God. In fact, Pastor had already begun a book on the subject, due out later this year. On another occasion, Kunneman shared a dream he had with a mutual friend. “John’s in a tent,” he said, “and it’s time for him to move.” Of course, our building does look like a tent, but Kunneman had never seen our building. At the time, we had no photos or mention of our facility on our website. He certainly didn’t know that we’d been taking steps to build a bigger facility—a “barn for the harvest” as Pastor says.
With all the great ministry from afar, we knew the Kunneman’s ministry in person would leave a deposit. They sure did, and we hope to have them back.

Faith in Action
Added 04/20/2007
GWC members Paul & Kelley Godwin were vacationing recently on a cruise ship when Paul witnessed a man collapse from a heart attack. Trained in CPR, Paul and another passenger immediately went to work on the man, but their efforts seemed futile. When paramedics carried the man out, he appeared dead. But Paul could not accept it. Later in his cabin, he began to pray and command life to come back into the man. When exiting the ship, Paul was told by the ship’s doctor that the prognosis looked bleak. The man was not likely to survive, and if he did, he’d surely be a vegetable. Paul and Kelley kept praying. Later they received an email from the man’s wife, herself a cardiac nurse in Canada. The man had experienced a comeback, and was now expected to make a full recovery. Miracles DO happen, his Canadian doctor said. Thank God for people unafraid to take command of a situation and turn it to the glory of God!

Construction!
Added 04/29/2007
We’re preparing for growth. GWC has remodeled our office to accommodate 4 new workstations. Regulars may also notice we’ve built out a portion of our lobby as a student classroom, meeting room and prayer room. Besides providing 5th-8th graders with cool new digs, it allowed us to use their old room as a toddler class, pulling toddlers out of the nursery and preschool classes to make a happier place for everyone. Enjoy! Nursing mothers: please note we’ve created a private space in the nursery for you, and we’re still working on it. Let us know how we can improve.

Cane Free Zone

Now that hurricane season is in full bloom, we’ve got to stay alert and exercise our God-given authority over destruction. It could mean life or death to our local economy, and more importantly, to the people in our area. In several services recently, we rebuked Tropical Storm Erin and Hurricane Dean. As it turned out, Erin just gave us some rain and inconvenience, while Dean was pushed totally out of the U.S. We don’t always have authority over other regions, but God put us on the Texas Gulf Coast. By taking our authority in prayer, let’s keep it a ‘cane free zone.

Philippine date with destiny

Pastor John Greiner leaves Thanksgiving Day for his 6th trip to the Philippines Glorious Way Iloilo City island of Panay , an area about half the size of New Hampshire

With the meeting lasting the better part of 4 days, each day holds a cram-packed schedule for the ministers: morning and afternoon minister’s sessions, plus evening prayer meetings and nightly healing/evangelism rallies
to reach the lost. Pastor Greiner considers his mission there like a strategic target. “I don’t have all the answers,” he says, “but I do have something, and ‘such as I have’ I give to them.” In past Fresh Oil conferences, even ministers with no experience in spiritual gifts have been eager to learn, and hundreds have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Response has been amazing.
With all the effort on this one, David says Pastor Levy Padlan Jr. of Mt. Moriah Family Christian Fellowship, the host church, is expecting all-out revival. In a meeting in another part of the
GWC has budgeted about $50,000 for the event, which includes not only the travel and venue expenses, but also payment to all attendees for half of their transportation costs, lunch for 3 days, and 3000 bags of rice to hand out to local residents who attend the evangelistic and healing rallies. We'll also leave behind extensive media materials, including books by Pastor John Greiner, children's curriculum and boxes of faith materials supplies by GWC Members Bert and Norma David of Lightbearers Ministry.

Philippine Mission Report
Added 12/06/2007
Thousands saved in the Philippines
We sure felt your prayers over our recent trip. Thank you! Overall, 5000 prayed to accept Jesus in the nightly evangelistic meetings, and 1000 pastors and minstry leaders united to attend the Fresh Oil Minister's Conference, receiving encouragement from the ministry of Pastor John Greiner, Norma David and Bob Greiner. Hundreds of people also reported physical healings, including 10 with deafness. For 3 nights, people crowded into venues in different areas of Iloilo City to receive the gospel gladly.
One story really showed us God was on our side: On the first day of the meetings, Pastor Greiner learned that the auditorium which the host church had booked for the GWC team to use the next night was "no longer available." Though our event had been booked for months and heavily advertised, the venue was suddenly taken by a religious group in the area to hold a service of prayers to Mary. It didn't look like things would work out at all, but somehow the host church re-grouped and booked a new venue in a different area with only one day's notice. 2500 people packed in that night, but that wasn't the biggest miracle. During the event, Bob Greiner turned to the host pastor's wife and remarked how well-mannered the crowd seemed. Tears filled her eyes as she quietly explained what a crime-ridden area of town this was. These people are a bunch of murderers, thieves and drug addicts, she said. Under any other circumstances, you'd never want to come here. There's a murder every night. She told Bob how unresponsive the area has been to past gospel efforts. But that night was different. 1000 of them received Jesus with 9 different churches on hand to help follow up with the new believers. Hallelujah!
Thanks to all GWC members whose tithes and gifts sponosored the event, and also to trip organizers Bert and Norma David. Norma also joined in ministering during the Conference, along with Bob Greiner.

Oak Island Outreach
Added 10/16/2008
Since distributing aid to Galveston and San Leon residents as they clean up their homes after Hurricane Ike, many GWC volunteers have requested more chances to help. Next stop: Oak Island, a small fishing community on the east side of Trinity Bay where about 90% of homes were destroyed or made unlivable by Ike.
The Fellowship Church of Texas City (whom we've partnered with recently) is asking for volunteers to help serve a sit-down lunch to about 500 storm victims under a tent at Oak Island Baptist Church on Saturday, Oct. 18. Volunteers should arrange their own transportation and plan to arrive at Oak Island Baptist at 9:00 AM. Bring your kids! Lunch will be provided to all, along with moon bouncers for kids. Come ready to serve the community with your labor of love and be a minister of the gospel. Planning to go? Please call Rosie today at 281-580-8806 and receive more information.
Directions:
From Houston, take I-10 East towards Beaumont. Take exit #810 towards Anahuac/563. Turn right and go south on 563 past Anahuac, and watch for Oak Island Baptsit Church. Estimated drive time from the GWC area is about 1.5 hours.

From Houston to Haiti
Added 10/16/2008
If Gulf Coast residents think we got the worst of Ike, think again. Before it came our way, it pounded Haiti as a category 4, a nation that had already suffered 3 other storms in less than a month and a famine before that. With disastrous erosion to their country’s “rice bowl” agricultural area, some actually bake and eat cakes of dirt just to fill their stomachs.* GWC/GAP paid to ship a container of food and children’s clothing along with medical and school supplies to be distributed to the most desperate by a network of about 150 native ministers.
UPDATE:
Now we’ve shipped a container to Port au Prince. Though hung up in customs, we expect its release by mid January. The container, hand-packed by our volunteers, includes about 600,000 servings of food staples along with $225,000 worth of medical supplies.
James Buntrock and Royce Rex plan visited Haiti in December to meet the ministry network there and see the impact of our shipment.
Norse Lori Moise runs the Grace of the Good Samaritan Health Center, a clinic in Cazale. Caseloads for her staff alone have swelled to sometimes 500 people a day, many of them malnourished children on the brink of death. "The food staples are wonderful," she said. "They will be a big blessing in this time of hunger."
Dixie Bickel, director of God's Littlest Angels, an orphanage and clinic outside Petionville, is thrilled, too. "You can't find clean bandages in Haiti, and we're low," she said. One patient, Djemy, 2, suffered from a flesh-eating bacteria that claimed nearly half his nose. "He'll need these dressings until he can get reconstructive surgery in California." Of the rice recieved, Bickel has already carried half of it to Baie d'Orange, a coastal community also suffering big storm effects but which has been overlooked by government and other aid organizations. "This will help them while they replant coffee and banana crops."
A seed sown out of our region's need is bringing blessing to both Haiti and Houston. We want to do more. Watch for updates and photos.
