Below are just a few of the many testimonies we receive about lives being impacted and transformed by the Orphan’s Tear Ministry of Heaven’s Family.
"I will not give up until I've found my sisters and my brother!" After months of fruitless searching, 13-year-old Isaias was determined not to quit. They were, originally, four siblings living under one roof, born to an alcoholic father among the indigenous people of Mexico's Sierra Madre: Isaias, the oldest, fraternal twin sisters Marisol and Matilde, and little brother Joel. When their mother died, their bedridden father parceled them out.
"I'm sorry, but you must leave our home, our friends and our village. I can no longer afford to care for you." Those were the heartbreaking words that Ren Hawi dreaded to speak to her 5-year-old daughter, Biak Rem Sui. But the day came when she had to say them. With grief, Ren took Biak to an orphanage that was several hours from their home in a remote village of Myanmar. Then mother and little daughter tearfully said goodbye.

Desperate, he sent his son, Samuel, to an orphanage hundreds of miles away, just so he could be fed and receive an education. A $300 loan from Orphan's Tear, however, changed everything. Using his loan to start a small agricultural project, Pastor Leo now provides for his family—and his son is back home!
Through the monthly gifts of sponsors in Texas, Florida, New Jersey and California, Heaven's Family has been supporting the church-planting ministry of Stephen Paing Bu since 2010. We've also provided him with a motorcycle that has enabled him to extend his reach to more unreached villages.
This little boy is enjoying a luxury he’s never experienced before. It’s been hard for the children to sleep each night…very hard. That’s because many have been sleeping on hardwood boards, and the others have had to sleep on old, thin mats. These children, more […]
