Praying for the New Girls at House of Grace Thailand

Global Servants

The team in Thailand has completed the arduous process of finding new girls in at-risk situations high in the mountain villages of northern Thailand.

A group of people are standing outside of a hut.

In two weeks, fourteen new girls will arrive on campus. The extreme poverty and, in some cases, drug addiction these girls’ families are experiencing have made them targets for human traffickers. Jutiporn has spoken to the families, and they have agreed to allow their daughters to come to House of Grace.

The staff follows the model Dr. Rutland set up over thirty years ago. They speak to the most desperate families, convincing them that allowing their daughters to receive care and education at House of Grace is a better lifelong investment than selling them or giving them away to work in the city. Most families do not realize the atrocities their daughters will experience after leaving the village with a stranger. Traffickers use promises of a better life and a lucrative job to convince parents to allow them to take their daughters. Some even give an “advance” on the child’s salary. Traffickers canvass these villages looking for vulnerable girls. Sadly, the truth about what happens to these girls is seldom revealed, because the girls never return home.

Thankfully, these villagers know about the life-changing experiences our girls have at House of Grace. Since the House of Grace team are all from these villages, they are known to the villagers. Some of our team members have even returned and built houses for their parents. The villagers see how much good the girls from House of Grace do for their communities. Entire families have been changed for the better after their daughters went to House of Grace.



According to the law in Thailand, it is the family’s decision whether or not a girl comes to House of Grace. A family member or guardian must bring them to the home. The next few weeks are a time of prayer and preparation for the most vulnerable girls whose families have agreed to let them live safely at House of Grace. Please join us in praying for the new girls, the House of Grace team, and the returning girls to all arrive home safely.

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.
