Every month, Heaven’s Family helps far more people than we could ever highlight in our bi-monthly newsletter. For that reason, this page contains additional photos and stories of some of the “least of these” among our spiritual family whom we’ve recently been blessed to serve.
Sarah dug through the trash, her stomach rumbling and six hungry children swarming around her. The roadside was her mattress, the sky her roof. Meals were nothing but morsels from the trash, and hunger was a constant companion.
Polite has never been allowed to read the Bible on her own because of the laws of her "church.” These cults teach that women can’t read it, men can only read it at home, and only the priest receives revelation from God. She also can not afford the $16 expense to own a Bible in her own language.
What does a future without freedom look like? For Ellie (not her real name), it meant being sold not only once, but twice … forced to marry one man, then sold again to another. At age 16, she was on her way to being a slave for life!
Ethan Wanjala has a bad reputation. He dropped out of primary school after receiving a soccer scholarship. Then his father paid a semester's tuition for a trade school, but Ethan dropped out after a week. Now he's in his early 20s, and due to his bad decisions, many people in his community want nothing to do with him. Though he has worked as a motorbike driver for two years, he has absolutely nothing to show for it. He had an abysmal appearance, remaining unshaven and dressed in filthy clothes. But because of your gift, Ethan will soon look into a mirror and discover who he really is.
Njoro, Uganda - Our ministry partners have been called to serve here in Uganda doing much ministry with families, single moms and others in need, but especially they are serving the children.
Sheila woke up coughing violently on yet another early morning. She could hear her neighbors in the tightly congested "Forgotten Community" ghetto in the Philippines stir and complain about her waking them up. She was finally catching her breath as an unwelcome guest began to growl in her stomach. Hunger was an ever-present companion, reminding her that her life was better when she was asleep.
