THE NEXUS BETWEEN HANAMEEL GLOBAL MINISTRIES AND THE CHINESE BAMBOO

So you are just now hearing about Hanameel Global Outreach, Inc. and wondering why all the movement, why the urgency, why the sudden surge. Let me introduce myself and explain the mystery behind this moment. I am Bishop Dr. Gary Welsh, and what you are witnessing did not start today. In fact, it has been years in the making — quietly, deliberately, purposefully.

Hanameel was founded many years ago, but like the Chinese bamboo, its development was invisible to the naked eye. If you know anything about the Chinese bamboo plant, you will understand the analogy. When the bamboo seed is planted, it requires years of watering, nurturing, tending, and faith. For four long years, nothing appears above the soil. No signs of growth. No visible proof that anything is happening. But beneath the surface, an intricate and powerful root system is forming — spreading deep, wide, and strong.

As the Scripture reminds us in Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV): “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

Hanameel’s tarrying was not delay — it was preparation.

Then, in the fifth year, something miraculous happens with the bamboo: it shoots upward almost overnight, sometimes growing up to 90 feet in a few short weeks.

That, my friends, is Hanameel Global Ministries.

I met the leader of this ministry years ago — at a time when she was both physically pregnant and spiritually pregnant with this vision. She gave birth to this ministry long before many knew what God had planted in her. I have spoken openly about that moment in one of their morning meetings, because it marked the beginning of a divine assignment that was destined to grow.

This ministry was planted in the hills of Riversdale, St. Catherine, a place where real bamboo trees grow tall, strong, and unwavering. The symbolism is perfect. For years, Hanameel was growing underground — building structure, character, depth, and discernment. Now, like the bamboo, she has burst above the soil and is racing toward the skies with unstoppable momentum.

Let the record show: Hanameel Global is no “Johnny come lately.” This is not a ministry that stumbled into visibility. It is a ministry that matured in silence and is now flourishing in purpose.

And now that the Leader, Rev. Chaplain Ingrid Skinner, has connected with Real Life Wisdom Services, the National Christian Counselors Association, and the International Conference of Police Chaplains, you are left with two simple options:

Join the vehicle and enjoy the ride.

Stand by and watch the ride.

Whatever you choose, understand this: the results from the soon-to-be Reverend Chaplain Dr. Ingrid Skinner — backed by the National Christian Counselors Association — are inevitable, unstoppable, and already unfolding.
