Heaven’s Family Stories

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.

Guilty but Innocent

Two men fled into the night—in opposite directions. One was the dead man's killer. The other was the dead man's best friend. It started with an argument that ended with a fatal gunshot. The body of Marcos' best friend, Daniel, lay dead on the street. Fearing the murderer would shoot him as well, Marcos ran for his life into the darkness. To the local police, his flight made him a suspect. They nabbed him and then locked him up. The real murderer was never apprehended.

Buckets of Sunshine

"They...we...are all still afraid." Those words, from the director of Mt. Zion Orphanage in Port-au-Prince, explained why, two months after Haiti's January 2010 earthquake, none of the children were sleeping inside their orphanage building. Along with two other Heaven's Family staff members, I had come to Haiti to assess the situation at two Christian orphanages that our Orphan's Tear division has been assisting since 2008. This was, however, my first time to personally visit Mt. Zion Orphanage.
