As I periodically travel around the world to visit poor believers whom Heaven's Family assists, I like to email "on the ground" reports in the form of blogs to our supporters. There are many of our supporters, however, who aren't subscribed to our blogs. So in this month's magazine, I'd like to share a few of the blogs I wrote in May from Cuba, a communist nation that has been called "the country of can't" by one of our partners there. He was making reference to the countless government regulations that suffocate Cuban ambitions. Heaven's Family has established eight thriving micro-banks in Cuba so far, and Christian borrowers are prospering in spite of their circumstances. Please consider signing up for future trip blogs here.

Did you know that there are only five communist nations remaining in the world? (At one time there were more than twenty-five.) They are China, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea and Cuba. I'm happy to say that Heaven's Family is working in all five.

It is hard to believe that, in September of 2012, we at Heaven's Family completed our first decade of ministry. Over the past ten years, we've been blessed by the Lord to experience continual growth in fruitfulness, faithful staff members, and the finances to make it all possible.
