Dear Friends of the Chapelwood Foundation, We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for Chapelwood’s faithful support of the Foundation. Your amazing generosity enables the Foundation to touch the lives of those in need, whether they live right here in Spring Branch or on the other side of the globe. We are pleased to present our 2014 Summary Report on behalf of the Chapelwood United Methodist Church Foundation. We pray that you will be inspired by the amazing work that is being done in Christ’s name. The theme of this year’s report is “Be the Light.” Matthew 5:16 states, “Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Each day we have the opportunity to share Christ’s light and love with those around us. Through your support of the Foundation, you are reaching out to those in need by bringing hope, kindness, compassion, and grace. By sharing your gifts, others can see that God has new opportunities and possibilities for their lives. In 2014, the Foundation was pleased to award over $250,000 in college scholarships and grants. The students in our Scholarship Program continue to excel. Many of the recipients graduated from Northbrook High School and participated in Chapelwood’s Collegiate Challenge ministry. Not only do they excel academically, but also they give back to their community through volunteer service programs. It is a privilege that our community of faith can partner with them and help make it possible for these future business leaders, teachers, lawyers, and job creators to finish their degrees and reach their God-given potential. The Foundation continues to be intentional about partnering with organizations that are meeting critical needs. Gifts within the community provided help and hope for underserved individuals needing food, shelter, medical care, jobs, and support to overcome addictions. Worldwide projects included fighting the Ebola virus outbreak in Sierra Leone, providing vital healthcare in developing countries, fostering entrepreneurship among women in Pakistan, covering tuition costs for orphaned children in India, and teaching life skills and sex trafficking prevention to teens and families in Moldova. These gifts serve to affirm the Foundation’s commitment to reach out to the world, one life at a time. We invite you to read the stories in this report and pray about the ways God is calling us to “Be the Light” for those whose lives are surrounded in darkness. We thank you for being part of the mission of the Foundation. We pray that you will continue to include the Foundation in your plans for the future, so that Christ’s light will continue to shine brightly in our midst. In His Service,

The Chapelwood Foundation is something extraordinary! Many churches have foundations. Many of those foundations do great work for the Kingdom. But there are not many foundations that use all their giving to go toward missions in quite the way Chapelwood does. The Chapelwood Foundation invests into the lives of young people, global missions, and community outreach. Support of the Chapelwood Foundation literally changes our community and the world in which we live. My wife Stephanie and I personally support the Chapelwood Foundation. I meet with the students and agencies we support. It is something special to behold! You can be sure that an investment in the Chapelwood Foundation is an investment in real lives and that it is making a profound difference. My prayer is that you would find out all you can about the purposes and ministries of the Chapelwood Foundation. I have no doubt that the more you learn, the more you will want to support it!

Funding from CUMC is such a blessing! Thank you for coming alongside us as we strive to “level the playing field” by providing activities and experiences to kids living in poverty that are “a given” for their more affluent peers. Your support also enables us to offer a place where parents can connect with one another, gain knowledge to better support their child’s learning and feel supported/encouraged by individuals who truly care for them and their families.

GOOD STEWARD GLOBAL INITIATIVE The poorest places in the world are very familiar with famines. In general, a famine means there is a lack of food, water and critical medicines or access to doctors. But there is one famine that has stretched on now for decades: the book famine in sub-Saharan Africa. In places like Uganda and Kenya, where Good Steward Global Initiative is today in the process of building libraries, there are no books. An average school may have one textbook for every eight to twelve students and absolutely no non-textbook books. As a consequence of this book famine, teachers are often reduced to teaching a subject using the notes they took when they took the same class a decade or so ago. This is not the kind of education that these people desperately need to catch up with the modern world. Obviously, when access to books is high, literacy rates are also extremely high. 4
Illiteracy = menial and unproductive labor Illiteracy = ignorance of sanitation, health issues and high mortality rates Illiteracy = loss of rights Good Steward Global Initiative is building library collections and mobile libraries in Uganda and Kenya with the help of funds from The Chapelwood Foundation. These collections are the first of their kind for over one million people, providing books for children, students and adults, all of whom want desperately to advance themselves. They are fighting head-on the notion that reading is only for school. Collections of health education books like Where There is No Doctor help provide answers and were written specifically for the challenges of developing countries. Books like The Velveteen Rabbit and Amazing Flying Machines allow children to learn, imagine, dream and grow.
Readers become dreamers. Readers become leaders. Readers become.

ISHAHAYI BEACH
SCHOOL FOUNDATION When an Australian expatriate living in Nigeria heard about the little school on the beach near her compound in Lagos, she wanted to help. She asked Lady Salami, the school’s director, what the school needed. Thinking the answer would be something in the way of books and pencils, she was surprised to hear the missionary respond with, “We would like a roof for our school. This one leaks, and during the rainy season, we are wet.” Little else needed to be said for the expat and her friends to form the Ishahayi Beach School Foundation (IBSF). That was in 2005. Today, the IBSF supports a nursery school, a primary school, and recently added junior secondary one and two in the Ishahayi area that has grown from 70 students to over 180. Its mission is to promote and enhance the education of Nigerian children. In the United States, it is against the law to withdraw a child from school before the age of 16. In Nigeria, education is still a privilege. The Ishahayi Beach School Foundation aims to extend this privilege to all the children of Ishahayi Beach. The Chapelwood Foundation heard about the Ishahayi Beach School Foundation in 2013 from Chapelwood member Jennifer Lakowsky. Jennifer, once a member of the Global Core Committee for the
6
Chapelwood Foundation, was living in Lagos, Nigeria with her family where her husband had been transferred. Jennifer soon was drawn in to IBSF’s mission and shared her enthusiasm by inviting the Chapelwoood Foundation to help with funding. The Chapelwood Foundation has given IBSF $9,000 over the past two years. We hope it goes a long way toward educating the beautiful children of Nigeria. A Nigerian proverb says “An oil lamp feels proud to give light even though it wears itself away.” An American saying says “Love isn’t love until you give it away.” We hope to wear ourselves completely out.
HOLLY HALL RETIREMENT COMMUNITY Holly Hall is a Christian Retirement Community founded over 60 years ago by women and clergy in the Houston community who joined together through Church Women United and their local churches to build this outstanding residential facility. Its twenty-acre campus is located off Fannin Drive across from NRG Stadium. Offering independent, assisted, and full-time health care, Holly Hall is dedicated to the physical, spiritual, psychological, and social well-being of each resident. Several members of Chapelwood are residents at Holly Hall. Through board and volunteer involvement, many Houston churches, including Chapelwood, continue a strong relationship with Holly Hall.
Holly Hall is extremely grateful for Chapelwood United Methodist Church’s on-going support for so many years.
This partnership allows
Holly Hall to maintain the legacy and vision of its founders who saw the need in Houston to not only take care of elders in need, but to provide them with exceptional, loving care in a Christian environment. Specifically, Chapelwood’s
financial
support
provides
subsidies to residents who have out-lived retirement savings and can no longer afford their cost of care. The subsidy program ensures that the personal, medical and spiritual needs of these residents continue to be met, which makes an immense impact on the lives of these residents and their families.
Holly Hall
wouldn’t be able to provide such care without the continued support of churches and the community, so we are blessed to have such a strong and meaningful relationship with Chapelwood.

WELL BODY ALLIANCE Helping Stop Ebola in its Tracks Wellbody Alliance in Sierra Leone has been on the Global Committee’s radar for some time. Wellbody Alliance is a well-run organization in the Kono district, serving the poorest area of West Africa’s Sierra Leone. In recent years, Chapelwood has granted funding for their women’s health clinic. Their goal is to develop local health systems to reduce the burden of preventable and treatable diseases - including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis – that continue to plague West Africa while also operating their core program of Maternal and Child Health services.

However, June of 2014 arrived and with it Ebola. The Wellbody Clinic was hit hard with it, as Sierra Leone was practically the epicenter of the deadly virus. We received an urgent email from Dr. Dan Kelly asking if Wellbody could divert the $8,500 Chapelwood had granted them for building a blood testing laboratory to be used to combat the Ebola virus.
What Wellbody Alliance was up against: • 4,000+ people infected in West Africa (including Sierra Leone and Liberia) • 2,000+ had died, including more than 240 healthcare workers • Crisis intensified by insufficient Ebola treatment centers, inadequate infection control systems for health workers & ineffective prevention/education outreach health workers, including those in rural regions, have access to The Global Committee gave their unanimous support to divert

Fortunately, the Foundation was able to give an additional $5,000 to Wellbody Alliance in December of 2014 due to some year-end funding distributions. These funds allowed Wellbody to continue to lead the Ebola fight. Embodying God’s grace as we receive it to those who need it. Wherever in the world that may be.

Spotlight on Scholarship Students Were you the first one in your family to graduate from high We recently received news from two recent college graduates school? Or like many of us, did you graduate from high whom Chapelwood supported through Chapelwood school and go on to college as a rite of passage, with parents Foundation scholarships, Ruth Rivera and Ruben Espinoza. and grandparents having graduated from college as well?
This was from a thank you note that the Chapelwood Foundation received from Ruth Rivera:

“…Words could never describe how incredibly blessed I feel to have had a scholarship through Chapelwood. Thank y’all from the bottom of my heart for the support I (along with many others) received. Being a first generation high school and college graduate has been challenging, but your support eased my journey. I aim to one day give back to my community too by investing in future generations. I received a Bachelor’s in Political Science with pre-law emphasis and a minor in criminal justice. I graduated Cum Laude (3.5 GPA) and a semester early. I have not started attending job interviews because I have been applying to law schools and I just took my LSATs. I will keep you updated on my law school journey! Thank you for being so inspirational and wonderful.”
Ruben Espinoza and Ruth Rivera Both were first in their families to attend and graduate from college.
Both were first in their families to finish high school.
Both learned English as a second language in the public school setting.
Both were stand-out students.
RUBEN Ruben Espinoza graduated this past December from the University of Houston with a math degree and obtained a secondary teaching certification. In his application for a scholarship from the Foundation back in the Fall of 2010, Ruben stated that as a graduate of Northbrook High School, his dream was to become a math teacher. He said that by investing in him and his future, we would also be investing in his future students.
Both of these outstanding young people dreamt of giving back to their community, our community. Both just needed someone to take a chance on them. Chapelwood took that chance, and we are betting it will pay off in spades.
“I may not have found a cure for cancer, or saved a life; I may not have accomplished world peace or stopped a crime; but I know how to change a world, and that is by starting with me.” How could we say no to that? And – wouldn’t you know it? - Ruben just got a job right here in Spring Branch. He is teaching Math at Northbrook High School.

LEGACY CIRCLE An Invitation to Leave Your Own Legacy The Chapelwood Foundation’s Legacy Circle was established in 2005 as a way to say “Thank you” in advance to Chapelwood members who have planned future gift commitments through their estates. Many dear friends of Chapelwood have made plans to support future ministries through their bequests and other planned gifts. The members of the Foundation’s Legacy Circle leave an imprint of love that will enable Chapelwood to continue to be salt and light in our community and around the world. We invite you to join the Legacy Circle and continue the tradition of Chapelwood United Methodist Church of helping our neighbors both near and far today and for future generations. John Wesley said, “I value all things only by the price they shall gain in eternity.”
