Charity looks over her shoulder again at the cart she strapped to her bicycle. She double-checks all the connections, but each bump in the road gives her concern for her precious cargo. The small sacks of rice, oil, soap and medicine remain secure, however, so she breathes a sigh of relief. Back in her village, 30 North Korean Christian families are waiting patiently for her return—they depend on it.

In all of the villages that we've visited on this trip, I've yet to see a child with a toy. This is not to say that I haven't seen children playing or having fun. The children we've encountered never lack entertainment, all generated by themselves.

Our Heavens Family-supported chaplains in Goma, DR Congo are bringing God's physical care and God's amazing love to one of the worst, most feared prisons on earth.
Read MoreWe started our journey in southern Chin State, and by the time we started heading north, I'd made deals with elders from 7 villages where Heaven's Family has never served, villages with names like Gangaw, Cheng, Khuhlu, Ung and Tingsi. All but one of those 7 villages is predominantly Christian. In all, I promised loans totaling close to $50,000 that will initially benefit at least 250 families. Lord willing, they will prosper through agro-businesses.

Dan and I recently returned from Uganda, where we were privileged once again to serve the Lord by serving the poor. Our first week started in the city of Entebbe, where we hosted a Small Business Training (SBT) conference for a very special group of parents and a new Heaven's Family micro-banker named Victoria Namusisi. One of our special blessings from God is the partners He joins us with in this work—they are truly modern-day heroes of our faith! Victoria is one such woman of God.

Marry Hkaung lives in the predominantly Buddhist nation of Myanmar among other Christians who have been displaced by ongoing conflicts between the government and rebel tribes. Until recently, her only access to God's Word was a Bible printed in a language she barely understands.

After several days of meeting families in villages where Heaven's Family is just beginning to work—and where parents are still sending their children away to institutional child care facilities (aka, orphanages)—it was refreshing to finally visit some villages where Heaven's Family is turning that tide of children through micro-loans. Having first met the people of Maul Zawl and Zatwal, neighboring villages in Northeast Chin State, in 2010, I was excited to see their progress.

I have just received this wonderful report on the graduation celebration given for the most recent group of ladies who have finished one year of sewing training at the Women of Wellness (WoW) Center in Goma, DR Congo. In addition to vocational training, these women—all of whom have been raped or violently abused—have benefitted from biblical trauma counseling, the provision of food and clothing for themselves and their children, literacy classes, vocational training and medical care.
Read MoreThe dreaded day is creeping closer for 2 families our team met today in the remote village of Shitkhua, Myanmar (Burma). That's because they both have daughters whom they are preparing to send to orphanages in faraway Burmese cities.
