Greenhouse Effect Blesses Ethiopia
Earl Huebner longtime owner of Greenhouse Effect has closed the door on a landmark business permanently. The facility is being dismantled and repurposed overseas. The work of the Lord will continue as the Greenhouse Effect comes down to serve a new community. Just south of Antwerp on State Route 49 the business has been operating since 1990. By the time it closed, it had over a half acre under roof and growing plants locally. Since its closure before the pandemic, Earl had been trying to find a buyer to keep the business going. However, he was not successful in finding a tenant to take over. Recently, Dave and Jenny Anibal of Reading, MI were driving through the area and noticed that the structures lacked their original luster and intent, but knew they could still be used and repurposed for a new community. Dave and his wife, Jenny, attend the Remedy Church in Michigan that created a ministry called “Moriah”, which also shares the same name as the Ethiopian mission group started by college kids 20 years ago to help with single moms and children in Ethopia called “Moriah Kids Ethiopia”. Dave and Jenni talked to Earl about the future plans for the Greenhouse Effect to find out what could be done with the building. Earl then realized that this could be used for a mission project to grow healthy and safe food in the country of Ethiopia, and decided to make this massive donation to their cause.
