<strong>2019</strong> ANNUAL REPORT<br />

GLOBAL COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP


Dear Friends of the Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong>,<br />

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for the congregation’s continued support of the Chapelwood<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>. Your generous gifts have allowed the <strong>Foundation</strong> to make a significant impact on the lives of<br />

people both in our immediate community and in the world beyond our doors. The Chapelwood United<br />

Methodist Church <strong>Foundation</strong> is pleased to present our <strong>2019</strong> Summary <strong>Report</strong>.<br />

This year’s theme is “The Song in You.” Psalm 40:3 says, “He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise<br />

to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.” We pray our song will be heard in our<br />

families, our community and the larger world. The <strong>Foundation</strong> is spreading our song around the world<br />

and impacting future generations. Lives are changed, people are lifted out of poverty, restored to health<br />

and able to see the wonderful plan God has for their lives.<br />

In <strong>2019</strong>, the <strong>Foundation</strong> was able to distribute $380,000 in scholarships and charitable grants both locally<br />

and globally. We awarded $160,000 in scholarships to 74 deserving students primarily from Spring<br />

Branch. Many of these students are the first in their family to attend college. Community grants in the<br />

amount of $110,000 were awarded to 41 different organizations which provide education, housing, senior<br />

adult ministries, mental health services, abuse prevention, legal services for refugees, prison ministry,<br />

and fighting human trafficking. Your song is heard locally. Global grants of $110,000 were awarded to 30<br />

international organizations providing clean water, farming assistance, education, libraries, wheelchairs,<br />

healthcare, housing, and legal services to vulnerable populations in 16 different countries. The recipients<br />

of these services have heard your song around the world. Please review the following stories to hear how<br />

Chapelwood’s song is impacting our brothers and sisters now and for future generations.<br />

We thank you for sharing your song through the Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong>. We pray that you will continue<br />

to support the <strong>Foundation</strong> now and in the future so the whole world can trust in God and sing His praises.<br />

In His Service,<br />

Susan Patterson<br />

President, <strong>Foundation</strong> Board<br />

Orphan Outreach<br />

Who comes to mind when you think<br />

of the word orphan? Where do you<br />

envision that orphan? What country<br />

pops in your head when you hear<br />

that word? Can you picture one?<br />

Orphan Outreach, founded in 2007, can<br />

answer all those questions and many<br />

more. Their mission is to glorify the Lord<br />

Jesus Christ by meeting the spiritual,<br />

physical, emotional and educational<br />

needs of orphaned and vulnerable<br />

children around the world. Their vision<br />

is to shine brightest where the world is<br />

darkest. So, what are the answers to the<br />

questions above? Keep reading…<br />

Who comes to mind when you think<br />

of the word orphan?<br />

It could be one of the millions of children<br />

who face unimaginable daily hardships<br />

that go unnoticed by so many people in<br />

this world. Orphan Outreach says that<br />

an orphan is often a victim of extreme<br />

poverty, malnutrition, violence, physical<br />

and psychological trauma, sexual abuse,<br />

trafficking and impaired development.<br />

Where do you envision that orphan?<br />

According to Orphan Outreach, they<br />

could be living on the street, living<br />

in an institution because of disability<br />

or poverty, staying in a hospital for<br />

an extended period of time due to<br />

health status (e.g. HIV), detained in an<br />

educational/remand/correctional/penal<br />

facility as a result of an administrative or<br />

judicial decision, or living with abductors.<br />

What country pops in your head<br />

when you hear that word?<br />

The answer is that they are probably in<br />

every country. Orphan Outreach tirelessly<br />

works to restore hope to orphaned<br />

children in Guatemala, Honduras, India,<br />

Nepal, Kenya, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine and<br />

the United States.<br />

Can you picture one?<br />

Our own Chapelwood member, Julie<br />

Treadwell, can definitely picture one. She<br />

stated that “The girls got to see a world<br />

they had no idea existed outside their<br />

Memorial bubble. We all carried the faces<br />

and stories of these children in our hearts<br />

and continued to ponder their situation<br />

and wondered what more we could do.”<br />

Shortly thereafter, Julie and eight women<br />

formed WOW Houston, an auxiliary of<br />

Orphan Outreach, to serve these orphans<br />

and vulnerable children. Also, in order<br />

to keep the kids involved they formed<br />

Jr Wow. WOW stands for Women for<br />

Orphans Worldwide. Julie has since been<br />

back to Guatemala twice and is looking<br />

forward to going again.<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> specifically<br />

supports Orphan Outreach’s Community<br />

Outreach Center in Chimaltenango,<br />

Guatemala. The Community Outreach<br />

Center is a Christian community-based<br />

program serving 345 orphaned and<br />

vulnerable children and their families,<br />

many of which work in the local dump<br />

called the Ravine. This center provides<br />

after-school tutoring and mentoring,<br />

along with psychological care for<br />

approximately 60 children aged 5-18. The<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s funding helps provide these<br />

children with a nutritious hot meal during<br />

the 42-week school year. This meal<br />

provides food security which in turn leads<br />

to overall good health and development<br />

and success in school.<br />

The inspiration of Orphan Outreach’s<br />

mission and the motivation and passion<br />

towards attaining their vision is James<br />

1:27. “Religion that God our Father accepts<br />

as pure and faultless is this: to look after<br />

orphans and widows in their distress and<br />

to keep oneself from being polluted by the<br />

world.” The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> is<br />

blessed to have Orphan Outreach as one<br />

of their Global Grant recipients!<br />

Plant With Purpose<br />

“The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees<br />

bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”<br />

Genesis 1:12 (NIV)<br />

Plant With Purpose, a Christian nonprofit, also sees the goodness in vegetation<br />

and utilizes it in their efforts to combat two of the world’s most critical issues: extreme<br />

poverty and deforestation. “85% of people in extreme poverty are rural farming families.<br />

Deforestation leaves these families even more vulnerable.” Plant With Purpose’s mission is<br />

to reverse deforestation and poverty around the world by transforming the lives of the rural<br />

poor. They accomplish this through environmental restoration, economic empowerment<br />

and spiritual renewal.<br />

As part of the environmental restoration component, Sustainable Development<br />

Groups learn about a variety of environmental and agricultural topics which teach them that<br />

caring for the environment builds resilience, increases crop yields, creates flourishing family<br />

farms and revitalizes their community. Velouse from Haiti states, “I know how to protect my<br />

land against the erosion and I use compost on my farm as natural fertilizer.” In fact, Plant With<br />

Purpose families have 44% higher crop yields.<br />

As part of the economic empowerment component, the key platform is the Village<br />

Savings and Loan Association (VSLA). VSLA provides financial tools that enable families to<br />

save profits from their farms and invest in their dreams. Plant With Purpose strengthens this<br />

component with additional teaching on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, empowerment<br />

and generosity. Gloria from the Dominican Republic says, “…my income and quality of life<br />

have greatly improved.” In fact, Plant with Purpose families have twice the amount of savings.<br />

As part of the spiritual renewal component, Plant With Purpose equips the local<br />

church to spread God’s love to the farming families. This in turn helps them discover they<br />

have agency, purpose and hope. Eleuterio from Mexico states, “I have peace. I have goals for<br />

my life. I feel like I am doing what God wants me to do. I am helping God’s children and land.<br />

God is our creator and our motivation…” In fact, Plant With Purpose families are 64% more<br />

likely to believe they can improve their lives.<br />

Plant With Purpose has programs led by local teams in Burundi, the Dominican<br />

Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Mexico, Tanzania and<br />

Thailand. The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> has specifically provided funds to equip and train<br />

Sustainable Development Groups in Grande Colline, Haiti.<br />

Plant With Purpose works to allow families to restore their relationships with God,<br />

the land and each other. Their holistic program leads to God-given hope and dignity for a<br />

better future. And we all saw that it was good!<br />

Community<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> shares God’s grace by<br />

awarding community grants to local organizations in<br />

Spring Branch and Greater Houston. These gifts help<br />

meet the critical needs of food, housing, medical care,<br />

employment, education, and other essentials.<br />

Agape Development<br />

Agape is the Greek word for love in its truest form – a love<br />

that is authentic, intentional and long-lasting. Agape<br />

Development approaches community development in the<br />

Third Ward of Houston with this type of agape love and<br />

servant leadership. They disciple their neighbors to become<br />

Christ-following and independent community leaders.<br />

Agape Development leads by listening to the community<br />

first as primary stakeholders of their own restoration and<br />

empowers their Old SpanishTrail /South Union neighborhood<br />

for sustainability rather than dependency.<br />

Agape Development assists all members of their community,<br />

from young children to senior adults. Their programs for<br />

children include the Backyard Bible Club, an after-school<br />

program that allows children to have a safe-haven during the<br />

school year to further education and friendships. The Agape<br />

Shaved Ice Program provides neighborhood teens with job<br />

skills and experience. In addition, Agape Development works<br />

hard to help every adult find employment to support a family.<br />

Many neighborhood adults work with Agape’s Property<br />

Repair Team. This team provides high quality and affordable<br />

handyman services to the Greater Houston area. In return,<br />

the workers receive meaningful employment and living<br />

wages.<br />

Joe Gipson is a former member of the Agape Property Repair<br />

Team. Many areas of his life were transformed by his work<br />

with the team:<br />

“Before I came to Agape, life was a struggle. I was drugging,<br />

trying to sell drugs, not doing right at all. We were living day<br />

to day, messing over people, not paying attention to the kids,<br />

living a wild life. I’m a big picture person, the vision I have<br />

for us now: it’s success for the family. I had never seen that<br />

before. Now there’s more structure, my wife is going to Bible<br />

study, and I’m meeting with the pastor and strengthening<br />

our relationship. I was taught the wrong way for so long<br />

and that’s all I knew. I got to work with Dane on a consistent<br />

basis. He prays for me. He asks how my family is doing. I’ve<br />

never had that before and that means a lot to me. They’ve<br />

really helped me to re-arrange my life. I’ve made a complete<br />

360 degree turn. Now I just want to be a spiritual leader,<br />

pushing people toward this type of lifestyle. As far as Agape,<br />

it’s more real than you can imagine. It’s an excellent program<br />

in my eyes and I’ve come a long way. I want to bring other<br />

guys in the neighborhood along and teach them what I’ve<br />

been able to learn. When no one else cared, I felt like I always<br />

had someone else in my corner here at Agape. Right now, I’m<br />

just in a joyful moment. I’m living on time I never thought I<br />

would see.”<br />

Restoring Justice<br />

Restoring Justice was founded in 2016 with the mission to pursue Christ’s justice. They are<br />

one of six Non-Governmental Organizations in the entire country providing trial-level representation<br />

to the poor against criminal accusations and they are the ONLY one in Houston<br />

and Texas. They state that over 70,000 Houstonians, who are too poor to afford legal counsel,<br />

face criminal accusations every year. Furthermore, they cite that 70% of Harris County<br />

inmates are pre-trial detainees, or legally innocent citizens. Restoring Justice believes that<br />

mass incarceration is an epidemic plaguing the most vulnerable parts of our country. Using<br />

the “Good Samaritan” approach, they do everything they can for every individual that they<br />

can, speaking freedom into the lives of the marginalized while enabling them to be contributing<br />

members of their community.<br />

The uniqueness of Restoring Justice lies in their efforts to harness the power of Christ’s community<br />

and love to aid their clients, while navigating the legal system, through holistic legal<br />

and social services. The three areas through which they do this are: legal representation,<br />

social work, and the Adelphoi Program. The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> awarded Restoring<br />

Justice a Community Grant specifically for the Adelphoi Program. In Greek, Adelphoi simply<br />

means brother or sister. Adelphoi volunteers are matched with Restoring Justice clients for<br />

an equal, emotionally encouraging relationship throughout the legal process and potentially<br />

beyond. They essentially serve as the supportive role of a real brother or sister.<br />

Here is one Restoring Justice success story:<br />

“Kevin Penny was released in November <strong>2019</strong> after sitting in Harris County Jail for over a year. During<br />

that 12-month span, Kevin’s case had not made any progress. Kevin had not been convicted and rarely<br />

saw his court-appointed attorney. Our Restoring Justice legal team stepped in and were able to get<br />

Kevin time-served and out immediately, after initially being offered 6 years of incarceration.<br />

Kevin asked us to share his story with you. He grew up in a Catholic orphanage in the State of Ohio<br />

where he, unfortunately, experienced abuse. This along with his upbringing has led Kevin to battle with<br />

PTSD, personality disorder and anxiety. His encounters with the justice system have been everything<br />

but compassionate towards his story and his heart. In most cases, he had no access to mental healthcare<br />

or medications. Our team has been able to engage Kevin in his story and work towards refueling<br />

his dignity for the bright, smiling, and humorous man he is. Kevin was able to enter a 90-day program,<br />

where he continued to receive trauma counseling and social work services.<br />

I want you to know that Kevin is full of strength, perseverance and compassionate. Kevin is not his pain;<br />

he is a child of God. May we continue to love this community that sit in the shadows of Downtown<br />

Houston in Harris County Jail.”<br />

Restoring Justice strives to follow Christ’s calling in Luke 4:18 “The spirit of the Lord has<br />

anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for the prisoners, sight for the<br />

blind, and to set the oppressed free.” Houston is blessed to have Restoring Justice working<br />

tirelessly to end mass incarceration one client and one heart at a time.<br />

Loving Houston<br />

Since 2013, Loving Houston has<br />

been bringing churches and schools<br />

together with the intention of<br />

bettering children’s lives while<br />

allowing organizations to live their<br />

faith through service to others.<br />

The mission of the organization<br />

is to connect every school in<br />

the greater Houston area with a<br />

committed church partner that will<br />

help the schools meet educational<br />

needs. The organization hosts<br />

workshops throughout the year for<br />

churches and schools, educating<br />

them on how to get connected.<br />

Chapelwood has partnered with<br />

Spring Branch ISD for over 20<br />

years and strongly believes in<br />

the importance of mentoring<br />

and tutoring in the school<br />

system. We have been one of<br />

the leaders that gather for the<br />

quarterly Loving Houston Leader<br />

Luncheon to share ideas and<br />

learn about available resources.<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

has played a significant role<br />

over the past three years<br />

supporting these workshops and<br />

leader meetings financially.<br />

“As Christians we’ve been called<br />

to love our neighbors,” Marilyn<br />

Lee, Loving Houston Executive<br />

Director said. “How amazing would<br />

that be for communities if our<br />

churches and resources within<br />

our churches were mobilized and<br />

launched into our communities?”<br />

SCHOLARSHIP


Scholarship Spotlight<br />

Lus Arellano<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> shares God’s<br />

grace with college students who lack the<br />

financial resources necessary to attend<br />

college through scholarships, mentoring,<br />

and support. Currently, there are more<br />

than sixty students in the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

Scholarship program, and many are the first<br />

in their family to attend college. These high<br />

achieving and highly motivated students<br />

would not be able to attain their dream<br />

of a college education without financial<br />

assistance.<br />

One of our recent graduates, Lus Arellano,<br />

graduated Summa Cum Laude from the<br />

University of Houston. She currently<br />

teaches math at Pilgrim Academy, an HISD<br />

middle school. Many of her students are<br />

recent immigrants to this country. Lus<br />

is having a huge, positive impact on<br />

her students, and was recently named<br />

“Beginning Teacher of the Year” for the<br />

<strong>2019</strong>-20 school year.<br />

What obstacles did you face growing up?<br />

“The biggest obstacle I faced growing up<br />

was when my dad got very ill. I was in<br />

elementary school when my dad got an<br />

infection that disabled him from working.<br />

He had to be in a recovery center for about<br />

two months. This led to a family financial<br />

crisis because my dad could not work and<br />

my mom did not work at the time. My mom<br />

had to get a job to be able to pay the bills<br />

and provide food for us. Family, teachers,<br />

and our church helped us overcome this<br />

huge challenge in our lives. As we got older<br />

and became more independent, we were<br />

able to get jobs to help support the family.”<br />

Why did you decide to become a teacher?<br />

“When attending middle school, I made<br />

some bad choices that I regretted later.<br />

Thankfully, because of the guidance of my<br />

teachers, I was able to overcome my bad<br />

choices. I wanted to become a teacher<br />

because I always felt the support from them<br />

throughout my education. My two main<br />

teacher influences were from the Math<br />

team at Memorial High School. These two<br />

teachers always looked out for me and gave<br />

me the best advice I could receive. I want<br />

to be THAT kind of teacher that they were to<br />

me in school. I want to follow the example<br />

of my teachers and make an impact on<br />

every child’s life!<br />

More than half of the students at Pilgrim<br />

Academy are at risk of dropping out and<br />

not attending high school. They do not<br />

have the example of their older siblings<br />

attending college or even going on to high<br />

school. I have encouraged my students and<br />

told them that anything is possible. Telling<br />

them my story and how I can relate to them<br />

is giving many of them hope. They have<br />

seen that it is possible that someone can<br />

be in their same situation and still attend<br />

college and have a career.”<br />

What were some of the highs and lows of<br />

attending the University of Houston?<br />

“One struggle that was very hard for<br />

me throughout my years at UH was not<br />

knowing if I was going to be financially<br />

stable. When I transferred to the University<br />

of Houston from Houston Community<br />

College, it was a hard time in my life. I had<br />

recently lost my dad, and we were not in a<br />

stable financial situation at home. There<br />

were days when I did not know if I was<br />

going to have money for gas or food. I was<br />

a full-time student at school during the<br />

week, and on the weekends, I would work<br />

odd jobs to help supplement my mom with<br />

money for the bills. Being the first one<br />

in the family attending a university was a<br />

big deal but it also added a lot of pressure<br />

on me. I knew that I needed to be a role<br />

model for my family and make them all<br />

proud. Having a great deal of support from<br />

friends and family made college a little less<br />

stressful. Not having my father there to<br />

witness me attending college was one of<br />

the hardest things I have gone through. I<br />

know I would have made him proud!<br />

Some high points that I had at UH were the<br />

times I was able to volunteer and give back<br />

to the community. In addition, making<br />

the dean’s list every semester and being<br />

inducted into the Kappa Delta Pi Honor<br />

Society were big accomplishments in my<br />

education. Knowing that all my hard work<br />

was paying off made me happy. Graduating<br />

with the highest honors, Summa Cum<br />

Laude, was a HUGE accomplishment. I<br />

know I made family, friends, and my<br />

mentors proud of my achievement. One of<br />

my biggest blessings I have had so far is the<br />

scholarship money from the Chapelwood<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>. Without this help, I would not<br />

have been able to finish school.”<br />

We are very proud of Lus and all she has<br />

accomplished! Her students are blessed to<br />

have her as a teacher and role model.<br />

What Can I Do to Make a Difference?<br />

The Chapelwood United Methodist Church <strong>Foundation</strong> provides for<br />

the future of this congregation’s mission to bring Christ and His love<br />

to our local and global communities. The decision to contribute to the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> is a spiritual commitment of loyalty and love. It is a way to<br />

continue giving in support of our church now and into the future. The<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s bylaws provide for an annual distribution of up to 5% of<br />

the endowment fund to selected ministries, missions, and needs of the<br />

Church.<br />

Contributions may be given in memory of a loved one or in honor of<br />

special occasions such as weddings or anniversaries; the birth, baptism<br />

or confirmation of a child; a friend’s birthday; a special thank you to<br />

a Sunday School teacher; or get well wishes for a neighbor. We will<br />

send the designated person or family a note informing them of your<br />

thoughtfulness.<br />

When making a donation, there are a number of fund categories to<br />

consider:<br />

• Unrestricted Funds<br />

• Restricted for Scholarships<br />

• Restricted for Community Outreach<br />

• Restricted for Global Outreach<br />

• Restricted for Music – Ray Evans Fund<br />

Gifts to the <strong>Foundation</strong> are permanent, endowed gifts. Frequently they<br />

are made out of current assets or at death, and are most often emotional<br />

gifts. They represent a donor’s passions. Often donors recall a personal,<br />

significant, life event that involved Chapelwood. The <strong>Foundation</strong> now<br />

offers a more streamlined method of online donation via credit card or<br />

bank drafts. In addition, if you are considering a planned or estate gift,<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> office will be glad to help you develop a planned gift<br />

to meet your life circumstances with the assistance of your financial<br />

advisors.<br />

So consider what you feel passionate about. Ask God, “What do you want<br />

me to do?” Not only will our community be enriched, your life will be<br />

too. For additional information about the <strong>Foundation</strong>, or if you would<br />

like to begin an initial discussion about the advantages of including the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> in your estate planning, please contact Rev. Andy Noel at the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> Office, (713) 354-4485 or anoel@chapelwood.org.<br />

When we began 2020, we were<br />

excited about the ways God was<br />

opening the door to expand the<br />

influence of our Chapelwood<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>. Due to the Global<br />

Pandemic, our plans were put on<br />

hold temporarily, but I want you to be<br />

aware of the vision God is giving us.<br />

You may already be aware of how<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> invests<br />

into the lives of young people, global<br />

missions, and community outreach<br />

mission. This annual support literally<br />

changes our community and the<br />

world in which we live.<br />

You can be sure that an investment<br />

in the Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> is an<br />

investment in real lives and that it is<br />

making a profound difference. I am<br />

excited about our future together.<br />

All inquiries remain confidential.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> accepts and uses funds in its designated categories, but may ultimately use the funds for a different priority, consistent with its bylaws, to provide<br />

funds “for distribution to, or for the benefit of, Chapelwood Methodist,” upon the request of Chapelwood.<br />

20 LEGACY CIRCLE


An Invitation to Leave Your Own Legacy<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Legacy Circle was established in 2005 as a way to say “thank you” in advance to<br />

Chapelwood members who have planned future gift commitments through their estates. Many dear friends<br />

of Chapelwood have made plans to support future ministries through their bequests and other planned gifts.<br />

The members of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Legacy Circle leave an imprint of love that will enable Chapelwood to continue<br />

to be salt and light in our community and around the world. We invite you to join the Legacy Circle and<br />

continue the tradition of Chapelwood United Methodist Church of helping our neighbors both near and far<br />

today and for future generations.<br />

Flame Alive Fellowship<br />

The Chapelwood <strong>Foundation</strong> would like to thank our Flame Alive<br />

Fellowship members for their faithful support.<br />

Flame Alive Fellowship memberships help reduce overhead costs<br />

and expenses, which directly increases the amount given to charitable<br />

ministries. Each Flame Alive Fellowship enrollment provides the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> with additional funds to support significant projects that<br />

bring Christ and His love to our local and global communities. Your<br />

support is essential so that Chapelwood can continue to be salt and light<br />

in our world now and for generations to come.<br />

We hope that you will consider supporting the <strong>Foundation</strong> through<br />

your new or renewal membership in the Flame Alive Fellowship. Again,<br />

we thank you for your past support, and hope you will partner with the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> to continue changing lives and transforming communities<br />

through Christ’s love and grace.<br />

FLAME ALIVE<br />
