Global Servants Annual Report 2022

ANNUAL REPORT 2022

We are excited to be able to present our 2022 annual report. This past year was another amazing season of both ministry and growth for Global Servants. We continue to be committed to doing all we can with the resources that are entrusted to us. Our goal with this annual report is to help you better understand all that Global Servants does around the world. In our churches, schools, daycares, and girls homes we are doing all we can to help others discover their God-given purpose. During this past year, as we have since the very beginning, our goal has remained the same. We are committed to empowering, educating, endowing, and evangelizing.

This annual report is a snapshot of the day-to-day work and dedication of all of our worldwide staff at Global Servants. However, all of the work that is highlighted in this report is not possible without the faithful support of each of you. We are honored to

partner with you to bless other around the world. So, on behalf of girls in Thailand and Ghana and rural villages and pastors throughout West Africa, thank you for all that you do. We hope that this annual report encourages and blesses you.

Gratefully,

We are committed to doing all that we can to improve the lives of people now and for generations to come.

Through our programs, we strive to instill a sense of self-worth and confidence in each girl, fostering a belief in their own God-given abilities to make a positive impact on their communities. As a result, our empowered girls not only transform their own lives but also become catalysts for change, inspiring others to take control of their own destinies.

EDUCATE

2022 EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS

By equipping students with knowledge and skills, education empowers them to break the cycle of poverty and contribute to the overall development of their communities. We believe that education not only equips individuals with knowledge and skills but also instills values such as compassion, integrity, and a sense of social responsibility. We believe that education is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all, regardless of their socio-economic background, and Global Servants is committed to making this a reality through our ongoing initiatives and partnerships.

In Jesus’ name, we believe and pray, Amen.
