New Places And New Callings

Honoring Our Past While Building Our Future

Global Servants has experienced a lot of change over the last 4 years. As Dr. Rutland stepped away from being the president, it forced all of us at Global Servants to have in-depth and honest discussions about where Global Servants was headed. We specifically focused on one major thought.


What is God calling us to be about?


We did not have any desire to radically change what Global Servants has been doing for more than 45 years. However, we also needed to better understand where we are going. So, we have spent the last 4 years trying to understand what Global Servants will be in the future. We have prayed and discussed this idea at length.


Earlier this year, we identified four areas that God is calling us to focus on. These areas will be the Global Servants core values. These core values honor our past and build on our previous work. They will also allow us to launch out into new places and new callings. Our core values are; Empower, Endow, Educate, and Evangelize.

 

EMPOWER


The core value of empower is primarily focused on House of Grace in Thailand and Ghana. House of Grace Thailand currently has 103 girls and House of Grace Ghana currently has 30 girls. Global Servants has built dormitories, cafeterias, kitchens, gyms, playgrounds and anything else girls might need as they grow. Global Servants pays all the medical bills and all the school fees. By investing in these wonderful girls, Global Servants is able to empower them to see the destiny that they have. Before House of Grace, it was almost impossible for these girls to see themselves having a future. However, through the empowerment of Global Servants, they know that God created them for a reason.

 

ENDOW


Our core value of endow manifests itself through our work in rural villages in West Africa and Thailand. We continue to dig wells and build toilets. The wells give the gift of water to isolated villages. The community toilets have also been an absolutely wonderful success. They have transformed the lives and health of people living in rural settlements. These projects have been so rewarding. Global Servants is excited to continue to endow entire towns with these life changing endeavors.

 

EDUCATE


Education is such an important value. We have done much on this value but we want to do even more. We have built Trinity Foundation School in Kumasi, Ghana. Our school goes from daycare up to 8th grade. We have 154 kids in the daycare and 240 kids in the school. Additionally, we also educate all the girls at the Houses of Grace and pay for as much education as each House of Grace girl wants to receive. However, our issue becomes one of limited resources.                                            


How can we do all that God is calling us to do? We cannot build enough schools for every child in West Africa. We cannot construct enough Houses of Grace for every girl in Thailand. So, how do we reach them? We want to begin to resource children and teachers through schools that already exist. We do not have to build schools everywhere. Instead, we can invest in the kids where they are. We are committed to strategic partnerships with local already existing schools to resource them. This will allow us to do all that we can to educate as many children as possible.


EVANGELIZE


Evangelism is how Global Servants started and we remain as committed as ever to it. This core value is found in all our other values. In Thailand, not a single girl that arrives at House of Grace is a Christian but every single girl is a Christian when they leave. We dig wells and build toilets because Jesus commands us to go to the least and the lowest. We want to educate so that the next generation can discover their God given destiny. We always tell every person that we help and serve that the reason we are doing what we do is because of Jesus Christ. Global Servants will never equivocate on the message of Jesus Christ. He is the reason that we do all that we do.


These core values are not a departure from anything that Global Servants has already been doing for the last 45 years. They are simply a distillation of the foundation that has already been laid. We have empowered, endowed, educated, and evangelized and we will continue to do that. We are excited for all that God has laid out before us and we are committed to continuing to do all that we can to help others around the world.

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.
