Updates From The Field

My name is Seesuda Wengsaku, and I am a proud alumna of House of Grace. When I was just five years old, my parents divorced, and shortly after, my father was imprisoned due to drug-related issues. I was raised by my mother, and we struggled with poverty throughout my childhood.

When House of Grace–Ghana opened in 2011, ten girls came to Kumasi from remote northern villages in Ghana. These girls, who were orphans, had been living with the pastors of Trinity Foundation Churches, a ministry of Global Servants. They were scared and had not ventured away from their home villages.

My husband and I felt God calling us into missions right before Covid shut the world down for a little while. We took our first mission trip to House of Grace–Thailand in 2024. It was so amazing! While painting the worship space at House of Grace, God answered a 21-year-old prayer of mine.

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.

For many communities across West Africa, clean water is not a given—it is a daily challenge that shapes health, education, and survival. As 2026 begins, Global Servants is stepping forward with renewed purpose, bringing clean, safe water to villages that have waited far too long. With the help of our donors, new wells are being planned—each marking a turning point for the communities and families they serve. Clean water brings health, dignity, and hope, and it opens doors for lasting transformation.

As a new year begins, the world feels full of possibility. For many of us, it’s a time to reset goals and look ahead with optimism. But for the girls at House of Grace, a new year represents something far more meaningful—it marks another step into a future once difficult to imagine. Through the ministry of Global Servants, House of Grace in Thailand and Ghana has become a place where hope takes root and lives are steadily transformed.

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.

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.
