Training pastors from the walkie-talkie church

Pastor Paulo wondered how he could hold his church together during the long COVID lockdowns in the Philippines. His village has no electricity or cell phone signal, and solar-powered internet is costly and inconsistent, so Zoom and Facebook Live were not viable options. As Paulo asked God for direction, holding a walkie-talkie radio transmitter in his hand, the idea came to him: conduct church through the walkie-talkie!

Can God Use Women?

During the second half of our 12-day trip, first to Northern India and now Nepal, our Heaven's Family team has spent a lot of our time meeting with indigenous church planters who are making disciples in unreached areas, some of whom are supported through Heaven's Family's National Missionary Ministry. One of them is "Fatima," pictured above. She was born and raised in Balochistan, the largest and least populated of Pakistan's five provinces, that shares its borders with Iran and Afghanistan. Fatima traveled all the way from Pakistan to meet us in Nepal.

God even loves the monkey poop eaters

The Hmong Tribe in Northern Myanmar has only 12,000 people. They are considered an unreached people group as fewer than 2% of the tribe are Christians. Most of the Hmong are animists who believe in a spirit realm. One of their beliefs is that monkeys know which herbs are the best for medicines. As a result, they think eating monkey excrement is healthy!

The life of a leprosy patient

In an Asian country (not disclosed to protect the people serving and being served), hidden in the mountains, are "forgotten" people. They were brought there as outcasts from their society due to leprosy. But Jesus hasn't forgotten them. And because of Jesus inside you, you are physically showing Jesus to them.

A Source of Mercy

She slept until some intoxicated men barged in and stole what they wanted: her innocence, her virginity, her future. She was only 15. Oh, the irony—this victim named Mercy was now in deep need of God’s mercy amidst the shame she was forced to carry through no fault of her own. All she had done was to go to sleep.
