Investing in Spiritual Growth and Cultural Heritage

School started on Monday for the girls at House of Grace Thailand.

Most girls spend their time off from school in their villages at a relative’s approved, safe home. Some do not have this option and remain on campus year-round. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and donations from the Empowering Esther team, our girls were blessed to participate in five different Christian summer camps!

Two of the camps, Akha Christian in Thailand (ACT) and Akha Outreach Foundation Youth Camp (AOF) , were sleep-over Christian camps emphasizing the Akha culture and heritage. Most of the girls at House of Grace are from the Akha tribe of northern Thailand, which is traditionally Zahv – often described as a mixture of animism and ancestor worship. These girls may be the first Christians in their families. The ACT and AOF camps both encourage the pride of the Akha people while building their relationship with Jesus Christ. These camps both had 200-300 young Akha tribal members in attendance, praise God!

House of Grace also sponsored a camp this year called a Walk with Holiness. There were over 30 teenagers in attendance at the Pimann Inn Hotel in Chiang Rai. The camp lasted for three days, and the goal was for everyone in attendance to choose Holiness – living according to God’s commandments and acting in a way that is pleasing to God.

Five of the older girls attended a camp sponsored by Ezekiel Rain, a non-profit in Chiang Rai whose mission is to fight trafficking and heal trauma by mobilizing communities and strengthening families. Their vision is to overcome the cycle of exploitation and brokenness, replacing it with wholeness and freedom. An alumnae of House of Grace, Chuleegorn, is on staff at Ezekiel Rain. The theme of this camp was healing from the inside out, taking a stand against pornography and trafficking, and growing in relationship with God.

The last camp, X-treme 4, was held at Majeo University in Chiang Mai with over 2,000 youth in attendance. This was a fantastic way to end the summer. The girls had a great time and came back filled with purpose and promise. Our prayer is for the girls at House of Grace to not only be blessed themselves, but to be a blessing to those around them as they become witnesses to the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. These girls are able to pour into their spirits at these camps because of wonderful people like you our sponsors, and our Empowering Esther team members. Thank you for all that you do!

Why Laptops Matter for University Students For most university students, a laptop is essential. It’s where assignments are completed, research is done, and classwork is organized. Without one, students often have to share devices or wait in long lines at campus libraries. With their own laptops, the girls can manage their time wisely, keep all their coursework in one place, and develop confidence in their ability to succeed. This practical gift communicates something powerful: you are worthy of investment. That confidence motivates our girls to work harder and dream bigger. From House of Grace to Higher Education The journey from at-risk child to university student is nothing short of remarkable. What began as an act of rescue has grown into a story of restoration, education, and empowerment. Each laptop placed in the hands of a young woman at university is a visible symbol of transformation—a life once vulnerable now thriving, equipped, and prepared to lead. How You Can Help Stories like this are only possible because of generous partners who believe in education as prevention. By supporting Global Servants, you help ensure that girls not only grow up safe at House of Grace but also go on to achieve higher education and break cycles of poverty and exploitation for generations to come.

Why New Vehicles Matter From school runs and medical appointments to ministry outreach and community engagement, vehicles play a vital role in the daily rhythm of House of Grace. Reliable transportation ensures that the girls can get to school on time, receive proper healthcare, and participate in activities that enrich their growth and development. A Blessing for Staff and Students The addition of new vehicles also eases the workload for our staff, who faithfully serve the girls each day. With dependable transportation, staff can focus less on logistics and more on what matters most—caring for the girls and nurturing their spiritual, educational, and emotional growth. Expanding Our Reach Beyond daily needs, these vehicles also empower Global Servants to extend our mission into surrounding communities. Whether transporting supplies, welcoming visitors, or engaging in local outreach, the vehicles are tools that allow us to serve more people and share God’s love more effectively. Be Part of the Journey Every mile traveled in these vehicles represents an investment in safety, education, and ministry. Your partnership makes resources like this possible. When you give, you help provide the practical tools that ensure House of Grace continues to be a place of refuge and empowerment.
