How clean water is transforming a village, a school, and a church
You may never fully realize the lasting impact you can have on others. At Global Servants, we see it every day. Through your generosity, lives are being transformed, and legacies are being written that will bless not only today’s generation but countless generations to come.
One of the most powerful examples of this transformation is happening right now in a small village in northern Ghana called Gbimsi.
A Village in Need
Gbimsi sits on the edge of the desert. The local church there has faithfully ministered to the community, and the pastor also helps oversee a school. With great sacrifice, the villagers built a block school building to replace the old mud huts. Today, more than 350 students crowd into five or six classrooms to learn.
But the school and church faced a serious problem: they had no reliable source of water. Sometimes a kind neighbor would share what little he had, but it was never enough. On the hottest days, teachers and students had no choice but to walk miles to the river, even holding classes on the riverbank just to have access to water.
A Well of Hope
That reality has now changed. Thanks to your faithful support, a well has been drilled in Gbimsi, bringing fresh, clean water directly to the village. Alongside the well, a sanitation station has been built to improve health and hygiene, and electric power is coming soon to the school. What once required a long, exhausting walk now flows freely within the community. The well doesn’t just serve the school—it blesses the church, the students, and every family in the village. Clean water has opened the door to health, safety, and new opportunities for the entire community.
More Than Water—A Legacy
This well is more than a gift of clean water; it is a legacy of love. The children of Gbimsi will grow up knowing that they are cared for, their futures valued, and their lives filled with hope. The church will be strengthened, the school will thrive, and the village will prosper—all because of your generosity. And beyond physical needs, your support has left an eternal impact. As the church continues to minister, the living water of Christ is flowing into hearts and lives, transforming Gbimsi from the inside out.

A Note from Travis Rutland
When I visited Gbimsi, I saw firsthand the incredible need—and now, the incredible change. A village that once struggled for water now has a well, a sanitation station, and soon, electricity. This is what your faithfulness makes possible. Thank you for being part of this life-changing, eternal legacy.
