“It is Eternity that Matters!”

When ISIS violently invaded Iraq, the city of Mosul, with its large population of Christians, was an early target. Mosul was prosperous, and Christians owned most of the successful businesses. Amir owned one of those successful businesses in Mosul. He also owned his own home and some land, and a large extended family lived nearby.

Among the dead were her husband and all 5 of her children.

A Joyful Meeting in Nakuru [Becky’s 2nd Blog from Africa]

We said our goodbyes to the wonderful ladies in Goma, DR Congo, and traveled to the city of Nakuru in neighboring Kenya, where the Christian Refugees Fund has been helping Sudanese refugees for the last few years. Traveling to Nakuru from the capital, Nairobi, is always exciting! We almost always get to see zebra and baboons on the roadside along the way. It is amazing to see these animals in the wild and up close!

Great Progress in Goma [Becky’s 1st Blog from Africa]

Diane and I were quite taken back as we disembarked from our car. Women and children were greeting us with singing and dancing! It was so humbling, as we knew we were undeserving of such an honor, but it helped us realize how grateful all of them are for the help they've been receiving from Heaven's Family. I know that we only represent the many donors who have loved and cared for them. I want you to know that they are so thankful for you! So please keep reading!
