What Do You Need Most?

God has called and equipped us to bring resources to those around the world who desperately need them

It always amazes me how certain words bear much more weight in other countries than they do here in America. A prime example of this is the word resource. Here in America, we live in a society filled with ample resources to aid anyone who may need it. We have education available to all children, healthcare, and an infrastructure that provides clean water, electricity, internet, transportation and many more resources we utilize daily. In the two places in which Global Servants operates (West Africa and Thailand), I see firsthand that resources are far more respected and valued by those we serve because, in most cases, resources for living are almost nonexistent. This is where Global Servants has decided to step in!


Here at Global Servants, we know that God has called and equipped us to bring resources to those around the world who desperately need them. For years, we have partnered with village chiefs, local governments, and donors from around the world to build wells, sanitation stations, schools, churches, and homes for girls at risk of human trafficking. Now, Global Servants has decided to offer another resource to those in rural villages of West Africa and Northern Thailand, the resource of education. 


By providing educational resources directly to students, teachers, and schools, we can change the trajectory of young lives by giving them tools to succeed in life and achieve big destinies. Through this new educational initiative, you can now partner with Global Servants to offer resources directly to a village student, a teacher in a rural classroom, and even offer resources to help an entire school. 


How can you resource a student? There are two options. You can resource an individual student in a village school with a one-time gift of just $50. This resource will give a student a backpack, water bottle, and general school supplies like pencils, paper, crayons, chalk, etc. Most students walk several miles through desolate terrain to get to school. The resource of being able to transport the tools of their studies safely and have clean drinking water along the way is life-changing. You can also resource an individual student annually for $300. By offering year-round support for a student, you can provide them with uniforms, pay their tuition, provide meal support, and ensure they receive the ongoing education that allows them to realize their destiny.


How can you resource a teacher? You can resource a teacher by furnishing a classroom (40 students) with a one-time gift of $1,000. When you resource a teacher, you provide essential teaching materials such as books, flashcards, posters, blackboards, desks, and many other teaching materials that will empower teachers to impart as much knowledge as possible to their students. The teachers we have identified in these villages are hardworking, dedicated, and passionate people who care deeply for their students. However, they lack the professional tools necessary to provide their students with the education they desperately want to give.


How can you resource a school? You can resource a rural village school (200 students) with a one-time gift of $5000. This gift might be a new roof, making it possible to have classes during the rainy season. It could be a well so students and faculty can have access to clean drinking water throughout the day. It might also be resourcing a library, or building a sanitation station so that children have a safe and hygienic place to go to the bathroom during classes. When resourcing a school, we approach the headmaster of a school and ask, “What do you need most?” This is what resourcing a school is all about. We can bless an entire school by fulfilling a need that positively impacts the overall educational experience for all students. 


Education is not a new initiative for Global Servants because we have been investing in the education of young people around the world for decades now. On my last trip to Ghana in October 2022, I had the honor of dedicating the new school expansion of Trinity Foundation School on our compound in Anwomaso, Ghana. This state-of-the-art facility has taken us three years to complete. It is one of the only private schools in Ghana to have a fully functioning S.T.E.A.M. program with three different dedicated science labs: physics, biology, and life sciences. The school computer lab can host up to forty students at a time where they learn to navigate the world of technology, placing them higher on the list for university acceptance and job placement. There is also a cafeteria here every student receives a freshly cooked lunch daily. Trinity Foundation School is also now home to a magnificent library.


Thanks to the faithful support of donors from around the world, our students at Trinity Foundation School have access to shelves full of stories, history, and knowledge that can help unlock possibilities for them that they could have never dreamed of.

Now that the school at our headquarters is finished and furnished, it is time to take educational resources to those who desperately need them. I invite you to come alongside us at Global Servants to help these children, teachers, and schools in both West Africa and Northern Thailand. Together, we can offer resources that help others achieve their God-given purpose and step into the big destinies for which they were created.

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.
