Default Wiring through exterior wall

I have a pond in front of my house. At the present time, my pump and
other devices are simply plugged into an extension cord that runs
through a window to a recptacle in my garage. Temporary power. Anyway,
there are no receptacle around the area where the pond is. I have
several lights that are wired together under my house for lighting the
crawl space. The end of the run for the lights is about 20' from the
exterior wall where I am wanting to install a GFCI socket to power the
pond stuff. I would like to be able to use the circuit the lights are
on as the power source for the outdoor recaptacle by either removing
the lights all together or maybe even running the power from the last
light in the run to/through the exterior wall to the GFI. Can I do
this? Should the lights be taken out of the circuit? Also, what is the
best way to run the cable through the foundation to the outside of the
house. I have read that I would need to have a junction box on the
inside of the wall(under the house) that is joined to the receptacle
box (for the GFI on the outside of the wall)with a piece of conduit for
the cable to run through the brick. This correct? Is there a better or
simpler solution to do this?
