Hands-On Learning and Leadership at House of Grace-Ghana

Global Servants

We are happy to share the activities from the Saturday vocational rotation at House of Grace Ghana.

The older girls completed skirts for themselves and dresses for the younger girls. Sewing is a valuable skill to have in Ghana, and can enable women to become small business owners. According to Open Knowledge Repository , “The global textile and apparel sector is critically important as an early phase in industrialization for many developing countries, and as a provider of employment opportunities to thousands of low-income workers, many of them women.” Exposure to self-employment opportunities and business ownership is important as we empower the girls at House of Grace to reach their dreams and become entrepreneurs.

The girls also had the chance to make meat pies, cookies, and cakes in the bakery. The photographer had to be quick to capture these yummy creations before they were consumed! According to MBAs for Africa , “A bakery business is one of the most profitable businesses that you can start in Ghana today. Places like Accra, Kumasi, and Kumale are strategic cities in Ghana where bakery businesses can thrive. Bakeries have become an iconic part of life in Ghana and Accra’s urban areas.”

One exciting opportunity for the older girls is to lead the art class. For almost ten years, all of the girls at House of Grace Ghana were around the same age, within about three years. The ability to mentor, teach, and lead was a challenge because almost everyone was on the same level academically. With the completion of the new dorm and the additional twenty girls who now call House of Grace home, allowing the older girls to become leaders has become a priority. Most of the original girls at House of Grace Ghana are now in senior high school. In the villages, the girls have not seen young women pursuing education beyond the ninth grade. Before coming to House of Grace, these girls mostly witnessed women laboring to support their families in a harsh, selfless existence of survival in the northern villages. As these little girls see professional women with vision and purpose, mentors who own businesses, and young girls pursuing their education, they begin to dream of a life they didn’t know was possible.


We are so grateful for all of your prayers and financial support that makes these dreams a reality for our girls.


Thank you for being a Global Servant!

For families in Tebeso, access to clean water has always been a challenge. Children often walked long distances to collect water that was unsafe for drinking, leading to sickness, missed school, and daily hardship. But on this visit, everything changed. As the drilling rig broke through the final layer of earth and fresh water burst upward, the village erupted with joy. Children ran toward the well site, dancing and cheering. Mothers breathed sighs of relief. Pastors and local leaders expressed heartfelt thanks. Ronny and Steve saw firsthand how much the new well meant to the families of Tebeso.

At one of our Trinity Foundation churches outside of Kumasi, Pastor Peter Antwi knows this challenge well. Each Sunday, families from several surrounding villages want to attend church, but distance and lack of transportation often stand in the way. Some walk miles to get there. Others stay home because they simply have no way to come. The Challenge of Reaching Everyone For years, Pastor Peter and his team have done everything possible to make church accessible. They’ve borrowed vehicles when they could, or used small taxis to pick up a few people at a time. But each week, dozens are still left behind—not because they don’t want to come, but because they can’t get there. A dependable church van would change everything. It would allow Pastor Peter to gather children for Sunday school, bring elderly members safely to worship, and make it possible for entire families to attend together. It would also help the church reach nearby villages, providing transportation for outreach events, youth gatherings, and special services. More Than a Vehicle — It’s a Way to Bring People Together In Ghana, a church van is more than transportation—it’s ministry in motion. It represents belonging, opportunity, and connection. Each trip to pick up a family is a reminder that the church isn’t just a building—it’s people coming together to worship, learn, and grow in faith. When Global Servants provides a van, we’re not just giving a vehicle—we’re helping make church possible for people who otherwise couldn’t come. Every mile driven carries people closer to God and closer to one another. The Road Doesn’t End at $20,000 This year, our Giving Tuesday goal is to raise $20,000 to purchase a new van for Pastor Peter Antwi’s church in Ghana. But the road doesn’t end at $20,000. Every dollar given beyond that goal will help fund our Clean Water Projects—digging new wells and providing water filter kits for families across Ghana. $10,000 can build a new well that provides clean water for an entire village $50 provides a water filter kit for a family Together, we can help Pastor Peter bring more people to church and bring clean water to their communities.
