Back to School at House of Grace-Thailand

Global Servants

Equipping girls with education, safety, and hope

For most children, the phrase “back to school” means sharpened pencils, new backpacks, and the excitement of seeing friends again. At House of Grace Thailand, it means so much more. For the girls who live in our care, starting a new school year is a powerful declaration: they are safe, they are valued, and they have the chance to build a future filled with promise.



Education as Prevention

Global Servants believes that education is one of the most effective tools in preventing human trafficking. By keeping girls in school, we protect them from the dangers of child marriage, labor, and exploitation. At House of Grace, every school year begins with renewed commitment to helping girls thrive in classrooms instead of facing threats in their villages.

A Community of Support

When the girls head back to school, they do not go alone. They are surrounded by caregivers, mentors, and teachers who encourage them every step of the way. Many of the girls at House of Grace are the first in their families to receive consistent schooling. Their progress inspires not only their peers but also their entire communities.


Building Confidence for the Future

Back-to-school season is about more than academics. It is about building confidence, developing leadership, and giving girls the tools they need to step into their God-given destinies. From uniforms and textbooks to new friendships and skills, each school year brings opportunities for growth that will shape their futures forever.


How You Can Help

Every backpack, every uniform, every meal, and every ride to school is made possible through the generosity of Global Servants partners. Your support ensures that girls in Thailand can return to school ready to learn and succeed.

Back to school is a powerful reminder of why House of Grace exists. Every girl who walks into a classroom represents a life redirected from danger toward hope. Education is prevention, and your support makes it possible. Thank you for standing with us as we equip these young

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.
