Wang Shou formerly had hands and feet. But over the past 44 years, he's watched them slowly disappear due to leprosy. He isn't able to walk on the stubs that were once his feet, so he ties the soles of shoes to his knees and crawls everywhere he goes.

The moment seemed surreal. Here I was with a handful of Pakistani Christians whom I'd just met, sipping freshly-brewed tea, enjoying the hospitality of a pint-sized woman named Haquri—all while sitting together on the barren ground of an open plain. It was like a tea party on the moon. Haquri served us eagerly, and joyfully told us the story of how God had rescued her people from the flooding that devastated Pakistan.

"Many will be dead the next time I visit," John Siam lamented. "My burden for them is so great, I pray for them with tears. Prisoners are open and hungry to hear Jesus' words of life, but if I cannot at least bring them a Bible, what good am I in this world?"

"I was a slave!" he said, and everyone in our circle laughed. They had been taking turns sharing how their lives had been impacted by their recently received micro-loans.

What is the best way to help "the least of these"? That's a question we at Heaven's Family often ask ourselves as we seek to serve our spiritual family in Jesus' name.
