Year of the Double
Added 01/06/2012
2012: Why THIS is our time
Double the power. Double the promise.

Listen to Pastor Greiner's recent message series and find out more:
012 Year Of The Double Part 3
      John Greiner      01/15/2012
2012 Year Of The Double Part 2
      John Greiner      01/08/2012
2012 Year Of The Double Part 1
      John Greiner      01/01/2012

Here's a word of prophecy given by Pastor Greiner just before the new year:

As the clock strikes midnight,
As you ring out the old and ring in the new,
Remember that I am with you...
Faithful and True.

For this next year called 2012,
You will find yourself more and more having to delve into My Truth.
Into the solid rock of your foundation.

While others, who don't know Me are shaken to their core,
You will stand still and see My Salvation.

And I will supply even more of the Grace that you need day by day,
So that at night in your bed, you can peacefully lay.

Faithful and True,
You will know Me as never before.
Never before has it been that necessary.
But if you will cling to Me, saith the Lord,
You will not know strife.
You will not know hurt and damage.

You will be surrounded by My Grace.

Child Dedication
Added 10/26/2011
Dec. 11 at 10 am. Pastor leads the church in prayer over infants and children with their families, too. Want to sign up your child? Let us know at 281-580-8806 or staff@gwc.cc.

Prayer can transform. It can change destiny. We believe that's what happens when we publicly dedicate a child to the will of God. It also presents a chance for parents and family members to commit to raise the child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, (Ephesians 6:4) summoning His help along the way. Do you have an older child whom you've never formally dedicated? We're happy to include older children, too.

In the accident, his larynx was crushed and vocal cords severed, yet he sings and speaks completely by faith. After 43 years of ministry, his message is still fresh and timely, punctuated by miracles. Come expecting to get yours!

Today, Dr. Wood is an apostle and author of the popular book A Place Called Heaven.

Testimony Sunday, Part 2
Added 09/22/2011
Oct 2 @ 10 AM. We've had such an influx of blessings in our church body that one Sunday wasn't enough to allow everyone to share it. Your stories of faith left us all walking 10-feet tall, so we have to give it one more shot.

Have a compelling testimony about something God has done for you lately as a result of the ministry here? Come ready to share it in 2 minutes or less. Sign up in the lobby now. (We'll have time for about 20 more.)

Want to refine your storytelling skills? Here are some tips:

The 4-part testimony

  1. Problem. Give only enough detail so that people see the reality of the problem. State it in simple, general terms so more people can relate.
  2. Man's answer. Tell how you may have tried to solve the problem in your own way and how those efforts weren't working.
  3. God's answer. What Biblical principles did you apply or how did God intervene to resolve the problem?
  4. Results. How are you doing now? Show how your life is better now that the problem is resolved.

Here's how YOUR year can look when you're framing it with your words.

  • God has prepared me for the days just ahead of me.

  • I have the accuracy of His Spirit and I am prepared for the year of 2011.

  • I receive knowledge about a certain time and a certain place.

  • I am always right on time and at the right place.

  • I am not fearful.

  • God has built accuracy into me for the year 2011.

  • The Lord leads me, directs me, and guides me.

  • My faith and patience are active.

  • The enemy cannot wear me out and I do not give up. I keep on keeping on.

  • I receive the reward of my inheritance.

  • I follow through all the way this year. I do not give up. I do not quit and I do not pull back. I do not veer to the right or to the left. I keep straight ahead.

  • This year I will find the proverbial pot at the end of the rainbow.

  • I find the treasure God has hidden for me as I press in and keep on.

  • His Word and His Spirit line me up and keep me accurate.

  • I reap the greatest harvest in the natural at the most inopportune times because I am aligned with His Purposes in these last days.

  • I hit the target with excellence, timing, and accuracy. I reap great benefits and a great harvest even in the midst of bad times, financially and in my family as I stay aligned with His Purposes and His Word in 2011.

  • I am rapidly approaching warp speed for He has accelerated me in this time.

  • I out-flank the enemy. I out-endure the enemy. I out-maneuver the enemy and he remains under my feet.

  • I am conquering new territories and new places and my feet are walking on new areas as His Spirit gives them to me in the year 2011.

  • I am grateful for what He has done.

Mid East Turmoil- our perspective
Added 03/01/2011
Unless you have land or loved-ones living in the Middle East, you may be tempted to blow off keeping up with the sobering news from the region. But don't. Here are some reasons to watch and pray over the region often:

1.     Jerusalem is still the apple of God's eye, and it's surrounded by hatred & chaos. If we love God, we will love His people.

2.     It's our job as end-time Christians to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and speak out on her behalf. Even some deceived believers think God has moved on from His covenant with Abraham. He has not!

3.     Oil and gas exports from the region affect U.S. jobs and economy (and therefore support of the gospel) bigtime.

4.     The Bible foretells soon-coming giant waves of salvation for both Muslims and Jews.

5.     When we take care of God's business, He takes care of ours.

Biblical prophecy is unfolding daily, and we have a part. Listen online to Pastor's recent message on the subject. Keep in mind that our awesome last-days assignment transcends the race, tribe and tongue into which we were originally born. We've now been born AGAIN into one glorious Kingdom with the heavenly Jerusalem as our home.

Find Your Open Door
Added 02/23/2011

Thank God for the Holy Ghost! The Spirit who dwells in us is the Spirit of Truth who shows us things to come. Late last year through prophecy the Holy Spirit began speaking about 2011 during a Sunday night service. As I went to pray and seek the Lord further, the Holy Ghost revealed that 2011 is the Year of the Open Door. I saw a vision of a skier racing down a mountain in an alpine race. He maneuvered skillfully through the gates, which themselves resembled the number eleven. This is the year of access, accuracy and acceleration. We shall possess the gates of our enemy and take that which has been walled off from us. This access and accuracy will have us thriving in the midst of unrest in the world.

 

Shortly after these things were spoken, turmoil began to break out in the Middle East. The prophetic inner-ring nations surrounding Israel are in the process of throwing off former dictators. Younger men whipped into a frenzy through social networking are rioting in the streets. God is orchestrating these events for two purposes: to bring a harvest out of Islam and to protect Israel as Bible prophecy predicts. These events illustrate acceleration in the timing of prophetic occurrences so that we may know and believe His Word to us concerning this year.

 

Through the years, God’s plan has been unfolding before us so that now we stand at a line of demarcation. Israel stood in such a place as they journeyed from the wilderness into the promise land in Joshua 3. The Jordan River at flood stage—an impossible barrier—stood in their way. Yet they had a Word from God: Let my glory pass before you into the river and watch the river stand still. Three million people passed over on dry ground as the waters upstream actually piled up. There they embarked upon possessing that which had been walled literally off from them. (Their first conquest was the mighty walled city of Jericho.)

 

Today we face many obstacles as well, both individually and collectively. We must speak forth God’s Word concerning 2011 and act like His Word is true! We’re on a road we’ve not traveled before. Like the skier, we will accurately navigate the gates so we’re in the right place at the right time. Those things the devil has hindered us from receiving are now in our grasp. New health, deliverance, restoration and provision await us. Divine associations and fresh favor lie just ahead. This is the year for us to see the Glory of God as never before. Ready, set, go!

Gene Wiseman Back Again!
Added 12/15/2010
Sunday, Feb 20. 10:00 am & 6:30 PM. Join us in a continuing celebrating with special guest, Gene Wiseman. His prophetic messages have always resonated with Pastor Greiner when he's heard him speak at Billye Brim conferences in the past. We are excited to bring him to Houston for you to enjoy. Get ready to receive a timely word with lasting impact.

Here's a bio from his website:
In his twenties, Bro. Wiseman felt the call of God upon his life to preach the Gospel.  He started in the ministry preaching on courthouse lawns, in town parks, and on street corners.  Gene wasn't waiting for platforms and microphones, he just preached wherever and whenever he could.  God has taken him and his wife all over globe.  They've held crusades in the islands of the Bahamas, Jamaica, Canada, Russia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Ghana, England, Scotland, Columbia just to say the least.  Signs and wonders have followed.

2011: The Open Door Prophecy

The Lord has been talking to us about 2011. Many of you have asked for copies of the 3 prophecies delivered by Pastor Greiner during recent services. Here they are: (Thanks, Marilyn McCoy for transcribing them!)

Sunday PM, Dec. 26, 2010
Glorious Way Church


The Word of the Lord comes unto me saying, slowly over the years, I have sharpened you and I have honed you. I have laid a foundation in your life-line upon line, precept upon precept. I have shepherded you and guided you by My Hand, by My Spirit, and have prepared you for the days just ahead of you. For these days require an accuracy of My Spirit that you are not yet practiced in, saith the Lord. But make no mistake about it that you are prepared, and you will be shocked, even in the year of 2011, at the accuracy that you will live by, by My Spirit. For you will suddenly have a knowing about a certain time and a certain place, and you will be at the right place at the right time. The way that Simeon entered into the temple when Jesus was presented, and even Anna, who also at that instant, did not miss her day of visitation, but was right there on time. Oh, don't be fearful. Don't doubt that you are not prepared, that you are not as spiritual as others that you are looking to, perhaps to follow. I know your life better than you know it. I know your assignments better that you know them. And I tell you, that accuracy is built into you for the year 2011. You will be astounded at the ways that I will lead you, and direct you, and guide you. And you will be right on time at the right place, saith the Lord.

(Break)

Did I not tell you that faith and patience inherit the promises? Your faith has been active, and your patience has been active. The enemy would come and try and wear you out and get you to give up. But I say, if you will keep on keeping on, you will be at the right place at the right time, and you will receive the reward of your inheritance. You will receive the end of your faith, for you have spoken, you have acted, and now, follow through all the way this year and don't give up. And don't quit, and don't pull back, and don't veer to the right or to the left. Keep straight ahead and you will find the proverbial pot at the end of the rainbow. I have hidden treasure for you in these last days. It's not hidden from you. It's hidden for you, and you shall find it if press in and keep on. You see, it's this accuracy and this alignment by My Spirit that will give you the anti-venom for the poison that is being spread throughout the whole world by the antichrist. Much deception, many lies, much unrest, much turmoil is on the way for the next year, saith the Lord. But you have the anti-venom, so to speak, for the snake bite of this world, because My Word and My Spirit will line you up and keep you accurate where you will reap the greatest harvest in the natural at the most inopportune times, all because those outside will go here and will go there. They will swing this way and that way. But My People who are aligned with My Purposes in these last days will hit the target with excellence, with timing, with accuracy, and they will reap great benefits. They will reap a great harvest even in the midst of bad times. Oh yes, not only financially, but I say unto you, that this will be a year of souls coming into the Kingdom. This will be a year of families being reconciled and the harvest being reaped in your families that you have prayed for, for so long. I tell you, stay aligned with My Purposes and My Word, and you will see these things come to pass in this year, saith God.

Glorious Way Church


As you look back on this year of 2010, the year of acceleration that I revealed to your servant, you must certainly know that My Hand has been with you, that I have breathed upon you with a mighty rushing wind to accelerate you from where you were to where you are this day. You will surely have to admit, as you look back on this year, you are not where you used to be. You are not yet where you desire to be, but you are rapidly approaching warp speed for I have accelerated you in this time. And I will have you to know that you will out-flank the enemy, that you will out-endure the enemy, that you will out-maneuver the enemy, and that he remains under your feet. Yes, the same Spirit that has had His Hand upon you this year, that has blown so mightily upon you to accelerate you, is with you into the new year. For there are new territories and new places for you to conquer; new areas for your feet to walk on and for My Spirit to give thee in the year 2011. Oh there is so much more that I want to do in, and through, and for you, saith God. All you have to do to get a hint about what it is, is look back and see what I have done in this year and be grateful for what I have done, saith God.

Education = Transformation in Haiti
Added 01/13/2010
UPDATE 1/1/2011:
Wow! We couldn't be more excited about the new school in Madame Beauge', now open for three months, thanks in part to your missions gifts to GWC. The difference between the crowd of muddy kids we met in April and the ones we see now in school is striking. These children are intent> to learn. The school houses the village's only 3 flushing toilets, and next to it, the only water well and church. (Classrooms serve for children's ministry on Sundays.) Amazingly, six teachers and one administrator are working in the school without any assurance of pay. During his visit, GWC's James Buntrock asked them, "How can you work here for free and still eat-still feed your families?" Their replies were all similar: We don't know. Neighbors or friends help us. We just make it. These teachers trust God and see this as their calling. Many, like Mr. Clifford (left), are university educated and hike for miles into the village on foot each day.

With your help, the teachers were paid for their previous 2 months of work, and we're working to secure sponsorships for the future. (A fair monthly teacher wage in Haiti is about $185.) Another ministry has stepped in to provide 3 meals each week to the children, many of whom suffer malnourishment. Your gifts to GWC missions help support projects like these. The school kids send their thanks for all the school supplies you gave! Check facebook.com/globalaidpartnership for updates and photos. Also visit our new website at www.globalaidusa.org.



UPDATE 12/30/2010:
45 minutes out of Port Au Prince lies a village of mud huts and hungry mouths. The people of Madame Beauge' may not have much, but children there are intent to learn. Now they have a bright new school to serve them, thanks partly to your missions gifts to GWC. The difference between the crowd of muddy kids we met just after the 2010 earthquake and the ones we see now is striking. Most had never set foot in a school, but a new dignity is written on their faces with the structure and care they now receive. The school houses the village’s only 3 flushing toilets, and next to it, the only water well and church. (Classrooms serve for children’s ministry on Sundays.)

Amazingly, six excellent and passionate teachers and one administrator (the pastor's wife) worked for months in the school without any assurance of pay. During his visit, GWC’s James Buntrock asked them, “How can you work here for free and still eat—still feed your families?” Their replies were all similar: We don’t know. Neighbors or friends help us. We just make it. These teachers trust God and see this as their calling. Many are university educated and hike for miles into the village on foot each day. Now, with your help, we were able to help pay them for the previous 2 months of work, while we help to secure sponsorships for the future. (A fair monthly teacher wage in Haiti is about $185.)

It's easy to see the favor of God shining on this project. Another ministry has stepped in to provide 3 meals each week to the children, many of whom have suffered from malnourishment. Your gifts to GWC missions help support projects like these. Together we're giving these children a way out of the grip of poverty.

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!



In the news:

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.

GWC 15th Anniversary Quinceanera
Added 12/09/2009

EVENT REPORT
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.

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!

Added 04/29/2007

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.

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
Added 10/29/2007
Pastor John Greiner leaves Thanksgiving Day for his 6th trip to the Philippines. Each trip, Glorious Way has partnered with local ministries to host Fresh Oil Ministers’ Conferences, and this one is set for Iloilo City. The conference will draw from the entire island of Panay, an area about half the size of New Hampshire with a population of about 2 million. GWC member Norma David, who organizes the conferences, says this one seems especially significant.

“This is the first time that ministers from Panay Island have a convergence in one place,” she says, noting the array denominational groups that are registered. “They haven’t had any unity before.” So far, David says, about 1300 ministers have registered to attend.

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 Philippines 2 years ago, Cindy Jacobs reportedly prophesied that Iloilo City would indeed experience historic revival and that the area would be called the America of the East because of the huge number missionaries it would begin sending to other countries. Ministers in the region are feeling that now’s the time for that revival. So do we!

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.

For those of you wishing to pray for the meetings, here is a rough schedule: (Keep in mind the Philippines is 13 hours ahead of Houston time.)

11/26 Monday

  • Night (Monday AM Houston time): Citywide Evangelistic/Healing Rally: Pastor John Greiner

11/27 Tuesday

  • AM (Latenight Monday, Houston time): 1st Minister's Session: Pastor John Greiner
  • Afternoon: Minister's Session: Bob Greiner followed by prayer meeting for Panay Island
  • Night (Tuesday AM Houston time): Citywide Evangelistic/Healing Rally: Pastor John Greiner

11/28 Wednesday

  • AM (Latenight, Tuesday Houston time): Minister's Session: Pastor John Greiner
  • Afternoon: Minister's Session: Bob Greiner followed by prayer meeting for Panay Island
  • Night (Wednesday AM Houston time): Citywide Evangelistic/Healing Rally: Pastor John Greiner
11/29 Thursday
  • AM (Latenight, Wednesday Houston time): Minister's Anointing Service: Pastor John Greiner
  • Afternoon: Closing Minister's Session: Norma David

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.
