Global Servants was founded by Dr. Mark and Alison Rutland in 1977.

Global Servants exists to help individuals and communities primarily in West Africa and Southeast Asia. We serve others through our girls’ homes, education initiatives, investing in rural villages, and spreading the Gospel. We are committed to doing all that we can to improve the lives of people now and for generations to come. Our efforts are chiefly centered around our Houses of Grace, building schools and providing educational resources, offering micro-investments, constructing wells and toilets, and building churches.

FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, GLOBAL SERVANTS HAS ANSWERED THE CALL AND GONE INTO THE WORLD TO SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD.

In 1988, Global Servants opened House of Grace in Thailand, a rescue home for girls in danger of being bought and sold into prostitution. Through House of Grace Thailand, hundreds of little girls have found the opportunity to study and know Jesus and grow into skilled, educated women of God. In 2012, the second House of Grace was opened in Ghana. In its 30+ years of operation, the mission of House of Grace has remained the same: “Saving little girls for big destinies.”


Global Servants has reached countless people worldwide through crusades, seminars, camps, books, media, local evangelism projects, church planting, and leadership training. Over the last four decades, Global Servants has grown into a worldwide missions and evangelism organization with ongoing work in Thailand and Ghana.
