Strengthening Relationships, Celebrating Progress, and Bringing Clean Water to Tebeso

Last week, Global Servants Executive Director Ronny Brannen and Director of Development Steve Birmingham traveled to Kumasi, Ghana, for a week filled with connection, encouragement, and hands-on ministry.

Their time in Ghana included visits to House of Grace-Ghana, Trinity Foundation School, local churches, and the construction of a new clean water well in the village of Tebeso. Every stop along the way revealed the incredible impact of your generosity and the faithful work of our Ghana team.


A Joyful Visit to House of Grace-Ghana

Ronny and Steve began their trip at House of Grace-Ghana, where they were welcomed by the girls with music, laughter, and smiles. Ronny even shared a special moment singing with the girls—a beautiful reminder of the joy and family that define House of Grace.


While on campus, they spent meaningful time with the staff who care for the girls each day. Ronny and Steve took the opportunity to thank them for their hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the mission of Global Servants in West Africa.

Exploring the Fish Ponds & Mushroom House

The visit also included a tour of the fish ponds and mushroom house, two important sustainability projects that support food resources and ministry development. These projects reflect the creativity and determination of our Ghana team as they continue to build solutions that bless the girls, the school, and the surrounding communities.


Connecting with Trinity Foundation School

At Trinity Foundation School, Ronny and Steve met with  teachers, staff, and students to learn about the school’s recent progress. Classrooms were alive with energy as students proudly shared their work and their dreams for the future.

Ronny and Steve intentionally visited with the staff to express appreciation and to recognize the dedication it takes to serve more than 500 students daily. Their efforts continue to shape future leaders in Ghana.


Encouraging Church Leaders Across the Region

Throughout the week, Ronny and Steve met with several Trinity Foundation pastors and church leaders, spending time in prayer and listening to their needs. These pastors play a vital role in the spiritual growth and stability of their communities, and Global Servants remains committed to supporting them as they carry the Gospel into new regions.

A New Well for Tebeso: Clean Water for a Village

One of the most powerful moments of the trip took place in the village of Tebeso, two hours south of Kumasi. Ronny and Steve witnessed the construction of a new clean water well—a life-changing resource that will transform daily life for the entire village.


As clean water burst from the ground, children and families gathered with excitement, celebrating a new beginning for their community. The well in Tebeso made possible through the generosity of our supporters, will strengthen health, improve school attendance, and bring hope to families for generations.


A Trip Marked by Gratitude and Purpose

As they returned home, Ronny and Steve carried a renewed sense of gratitude—for the staff who serve tirelessly, for the pastors who lead faithfully, for the students and girls pursuing their dreams, and for supporters like you who make all of this possible.

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.
