A Strategic Gathering in the Fight Against Exploitation

In June, Global Servants had the honor of hosting a special training event at House of Grace Thailand, welcoming faculty members from Lee University and a representative from Mission:25 (M:25). The visit marked a meaningful time of collaboration, education, and shared purpose in preventing human trafficking before it ever begins.


A New Meeting Space Made Possible by You

The event took place in our newly constructed meeting and training facility—a beautiful and much-needed addition to the House of Grace campus. This space, made possible through the generosity of our supporters, is already proving to be a vital tool for discipleship, leadership training, and outreach.

Sharing Strategies, Building Relationships

The visiting team included Dr. Tammy Johnson, dean of the Helen DeVos College of Education at Lee University, and Dr. Patti Parrish, assistant professor of Christian formation and childhood development. They were joined by Meagan Farmer, a Lee alumna now serving with Mission:25, an organization focused on anti-trafficking efforts and women's ministry.


Over the course of the visit, our team led sessions showcasing how Global Servants works to prevent trafficking by providing at-risk girls with a safe home, education, mentorship, and Christ-centered care. The House of Grace model empowers girls to develop spiritually, emotionally, and academically—building a foundation for a life of freedom and purpose.



The Lee team brought valuable insights into education, child development, and Christian formation, enriching our team with ideas and affirmations for the work ahead.

A Shared Vision for a Safer Future

“It was deeply moving to see the holistic care these girls receive,” said Dr. Johnson. “From education and vocational training to emotional and spiritual development, House of Grace is truly transforming lives.”


Meagan Farmer echoed that sentiment: “Bringing leaders from Lee University to Thailand was a dream fulfilled. It’s incredible to see the impact of collaboration when we unite around a shared mission.”


This training event is only the beginning. The new meeting space is now positioned to host ongoing trainings, Bible studies, and development programs for both staff and girls at House of Grace—and will continue to be a place where transformation begins.

A Note from Travis Rutland

When I walked through our new meeting space at House of Grace Thailand, I was overwhelmed with gratitude—for what God has done, and for every one of you who helped make it possible. This training with Lee University and M:25 was a beautiful picture of what happens when we link arms with others in the Body of Christ.
