A Promise Fulfilled: The New Bus Arrives in Ghana

Global Servants

On Giving Tuesday, we shared a simple but urgent need: transportation for ministry in Ghana.

Today, we are celebrating the faithfulness of God and the generosity of His people. Global Servants has received photos and video of the new ministry bus purchased for pastor Peter Antwi in Duase, Ghana, and it is already a powerful testimony of God’s provision in action. This is more than a vehicle. It is answered prayer.

From Vision to Provision

When we shared the need for a reliable bus, it was not just about transportation. It was about impact.

In Ghana, distance matters. Villages are spread out. Churches and schools often serve multiple communities. Reliable transportation determines whether ministry can expand or remain limited. Because of your generosity on Giving Tuesday, what was once a prayer request is now parked in front of the church — ready to serve.


The bus will be used to:

  • Transport church members to services and leadership gatherings
  • Reach rural villages with evangelism and discipleship
  • Support Trinity Foundation School and related outreach efforts
  • Assist with community ministry events


This bus increases capacity. It expands reach. It multiplies ministry.


Celebrating God’s Faithfulness

For nearly 50 years, Global Servants has witnessed God’s provision time and time again. From churches planted to schools built, from wells drilled to girls rescued through House of Grace, the story is always the same:

God moves through faithful partners.


The arrival of this bus in Ghana is another chapter in that story.


Your gifts did not remain abstract. They became something tangible. Something practical. Something that will carry the Gospel down dusty roads and into open villages.

Thank You, Giving Tuesday Partners

To every donor who gave toward this project:

Thank you. You responded quickly. You trusted God. You believed in the mission. And now the fruit of that generosity is visible on the roads of Ghana.


Because of you:

  • Children will ride safely.
  • Pastors will travel farther.
  • Communities will be reached.
  • The Gospel will move forward.


This is what partnership looks like.


The Road Ahead

The bus has arrived — but the mission continues. As we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded that every provision opens the door to greater opportunity. There are still villages to reach, students to educate, girls to protect, and churches to strengthen across West Africa and Southeast Asia. But today, we pause and rejoice. God provided. You responded. Lives will be impacted.

A Note from Travis Rutland

When we first shared this need, we knew it was significant. Transportation in Ghana isn’t a convenience — it’s a necessity for ministry to function and grow. Seeing the bus arrive and watching the joy on Pastor Peter’s face reminded me again how God uses faithful partners to accomplish His purposes.


Every time I visit Ghana, I’m struck by the hunger for the Gospel and the commitment of our pastors and leaders. This bus is going to help them reach further than ever before. It’s going to carry children, pastors, leaders, and teams into places where lives will be changed.


Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for responding so generously. You are part of every mile this bus travels.


—Travis Rutland, President of Global Servants

For Global Servants, this month reflects a mission we live out day-by-day all year—protecting vulnerable girls before exploitation ever occurs. A Global Crisis Rooted in Vulnerability Human trafficking thrives where vulnerability exists. Poverty, lack of education, family instability, displacement, and crisis situations all create conditions where girls are placed at greater risk. Globally, an estimated 27.6 million people are subjected to trafficking today, many of them children. Trafficking does not begin with exploitation—it begins with exposure. When children lack safe environments, consistent care, and access to education, traffickers find opportunity. That is why prevention is so critical. House of Grace: Protection Before Harm The House of Grace addresses vulnerability at its roots. Through Houses of Grace in West Africa and Southeast Asia, Global Servants provides safe, stable, and nurturing homes for girls who face significant risk due to circumstances beyond their control. These homes are built on the belief that protection, education, and love are powerful tools of prevention. At House of Grace, girls are: Surrounded by consistent, caring adults Given access to education and life-shaping opportunities Provided a secure and supportive environment Encouraged to discover their God-given value and purpose By removing vulnerability, House of Grace helps close the door before exploitation ever has the chance to enter. Prevention Through Presence Preventing human trafficking requires more than awareness—it requires long-term presence. Global Servants works alongside local churches, educators, caregivers, and community leaders to strengthen families and build protective environments for children. By addressing root causes such as poverty and lack of access to education, we help communities create lasting solutions that protect girls and change futures. Why Awareness Still Matters Despite global efforts and increased legislation, traffickers continue to adapt. National Human Trafficking Prevention Month reminds us that everyone has a role to play—from learning the warning signs to supporting prevention-focused ministries and praying for vulnerable children around the world. With Grateful Hearts This prevention-focused work is only possible because of faithful partners who believe protection is better than intervention after harm. Because of your generosity, girls are growing up in safe environments where hope is nurtured, education is prioritized, and dignity is protected. You are helping transform vulnerability into opportunity—and fear into hope. Prevention changes outcomes. Protection preserves futures. And hope begins with care. Thank you for partnering with Global Servants and House of Grace to provide a safe home for our girls.
