Just a few of the many flood victims who have been helped recently in Pakistan

Dear Friends,

We’ve continued working in Pakistan this year, much of it through our partner Samuel, helping with unusual flooding that has devastated some areas in the south. I want to share with you a letter we received from Megha, a woman helped through gifts to the Disaster Relief Fund. I was blessed when I read her letter, and I think you will be too.

My Name is Megha. I am residing in a small village of Sanghar district. I had a chance to watch “Jesus” movie in my village. After watching movie I started asking my children and husband that what kind of god is this that does not fight even people are cruel and fight against him. He blesses them instead. When this year rainy season started then Jesus Christ was came into my mind as how he made the sea still.

I asked my family to let us call on Jesus Christ but they refused and went to sleep. At 2:00 a.m. in the night water level increased so high that we have to leave our home and take refuge on a roof top of a government school building. We were watching our destruction with our own eyes. Muslim community was helping their own people but nobody was listening to us. After 10 days when we called upon Jesus Christ he sent his man Brother Samuel who came to us. He comforted us and then took some people with him to Sanghar city and bought us 10 tents and food items and we really thanked the Lord.

After some days the food was finished and the water also started getting low. Our crops were all destroyed on which we have worked for the last six months and the fields are still filled with water and even for the next six months we are unable to cultivate anything. We again got together and prayed and the second day God again sent his man Brother Samuel who arranged for our food.

I along with my family including my sons, daughters and their children (10 families) have accepted Jesus as our personal savior because He is the one in this world who really cares for His people and lift up their burden. He arranged to teach us and He shared His love with us and has not left us unattended.

I on behalf of my family thank the Lord and Heaven’s Family and have faith in Jesus that by the time of our complete rehabilitation you will continue to encourage and help us.

May God bless you all.

Megha

Thanks to faithful friends like you, we’ve sent another $3,000 to help Megha and her village with more food and some blankets to help them through this winter.

May you and yours have a Blessed Christmas and an abundant New Year as you serve Him through the “least to these.”

Thousands of Pakistanis, including this woman and her small child (in hammock) were forced to flee their homes due to flooding from unusually heavy monsoon rains

Dear Friends,

You may recall that I visited Pakistan just over a year ago to bring emergency relief on behalf of those who generously contributed to the Disaster Relief Fund.

Although more localized this year, the southern Sindh Province was again hit with record-breaking monsoon rains.

Heaven’s Family received a plea for help from one of our partners in Pakistan who lives in the hardest-hit area (and who I worked with last year when I was there). He told us that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ were forced to abandon their flooded homes and their submerged crops. Government help was limited, of course, especially for followers of Jesus.

We responded by sending $2,000, and we are happy to report that 70 families were helped with emergency supplies that included flour, rice, sugar, vegetable oil, tea, dry milk, and mosquito coils. Some supplies also went to a few Hindu and Muslim families who are open to the gospel. In the next couple of weeks Heaven’s Family hopes to be able to send more relief money to equip our partner to help even more families.

Below are some photos of Pakistani believers very happy to receive our help in the last two weeks!

And I couldn’t resist including a photo of some cute kids!

Dear Friends,

I returned from cyclone-ravaged Rakhine State in Myanmar back in April, but the work of Heaven’s Family has continued in the months since through our partners.

We have continued to provide rice for the most needy, and have also helped more families rebuild their homes, even supplying many with metal roofing sheets—a real blessing over palm branches!

Most important, however, is the spiritual harvest that has been reaped. The Jesus film has been shown, the gospel has been preached in word and deed, and many have responded—even whole villages!

I want to share with you just a few of the photos taken these past three months to let you know that your gifts have been storing up lots of treasure in heaven. The photos speak for themselves, so I didn’t feel captions were necessary.

Thank you again for helping “Jesus” in His time of need.

For Jesus’ sake,

Jeff Trotter

Four children I’d like to help. Please read their story below.

Dear Friends,

For the past few days, we’ve all been watching the riveting video reports of Japan’s tsunami rolling onshore, swallowing everything in its path. It’s a natural disaster of horrific proportions. Our prayers are certainly with the people of Japan.

As I’ve watched those tsunami videos, however, I have to confess that I’ve thought about how much better wealthy nations fare compared to poor nations when natural disasters strike. Japan has the world’s third largest economy, and until China recently surpassed it, Japan had the world’s second largest economy. Northeast Japan’s coastal regions will recover as Japan’s government and its friends spend billions of dollars rebuilding what has been destroyed. Insurance companies will pay claims.

Contrast Japan’s northeast coast with Myanmar’s west coast, which was assaulted five months ago by Cyclone Giri, a cyclone you may not have heard of. Winds clocked at 165-miles-per-hour created a 12-foot storm surge with waves reaching 26 feet. The people in Giri’s path had no high-rise buildings in which they could take refuge and shoot video images for the world to watch. They fled on foot for higher ground. When survivors returned, many found their wooden and thatched-roof homes obliterated. Roughly 100,000 people became homeless, and 40,000 acres of rice paddies that were almost ready for harvest were destroyed.

Since then, some humanitarian assistance has arrived, but not nearly enough. The affected region is remote. Heaven’s Family has been doing what we can, helping to rebuild some homes and providing at least ten tons of much-needed rice for Christian families who live in areas who have received no other assistance.

A few of the families who received rice from Heaven’s Family

One our representatives working in Myanmar just sent me many photos of thankful Christian families who have received our rice. (Just $18 provides a hundred-pound sack of rice that can feed a family for a month.) But one of those photos really caught my attention. It is the photo at the top of this blog post (and directly below this paragraph) of four children whom he found living under a make-shift shelter that serves as their house. Their father perished in the cyclone. Their mother is doing all she can to provide for them, but she is losing hope. They are believers in Jesus. How I would love to build them a new house. $500 will do it.

If everyone who reads this blog post contributed just $18, we could provide tons of rice that would help sustain thousands of Christians and non-Christians—offering them a visible demonstration of Christ’s love. This is a wonderful opportunity to not only feed the hungry in whom Christ lives, but to also sustain and empower believers to reach their Buddhist neighbors.

If you would like to help us with our relief efforts in Myanmar by contributing to our Disaster Relief Fund, you can give securely by credit card through our website by clicking here, or by calling our office between 8:00AM – 4:30PM (ET) at (412) 833-5826.

As always, 100% of what you give to Heaven’s Family’s Disaster Relief Fund will be sent overseas to directly benefit survivors. Nothing is used for administration, as that is all paid through our general fund. Jeff Trotter, who directs our Disaster Relief Fund, will be in Myanmar in just a few weeks to oversee our relief efforts there.

Thanks so much for caring,

David

Haquri and her husband, with blankets from Heaven’s Family, are now keeping warm during cold Pakistani nights

Dear Friends,

When Samuel, our ministry partner in Pakistan, sent photos of how Heaven’s Family is helping Pakistani flood victims this winter, I was happy to see a familiar face. Haquri, in the photo above, was the woman who served me and my team some tea when I visited her impoverished settlement, now known as Hope Village, back in September. She’s got a great smile, and it’s not difficult to see the love of the Lord in her face and through her actions.

While winter continues to hold America and Europe in its grip, our spiritual family members in Pakistan are also experiencing their cold season. In many regions summer flood refugees are still living in tents. Temperatures regularly drop below freezing in the most heavily-populated areas, and even in the warmest areas near the coast, temperatures often plunge below 50 degrees at night.

With your help, we’ve sent $20,000 so far to assist Christian families with blankets, food, safe water, and clothing to help sustain them through the winter. There are many more who need our help, and we will continue to do what we can as God provides. Below are some photos to encourage you—because you are making a difference!

Please let me urge you to pray earnestly for Pakistan. Millions continue to remain displaced by last summer’s floods, and the nation continues to totter on the brink of social and political disaster. God is their only salvation. Pray that God uses His people in a mighty way to defeat the spiritual forces of darkness that reign there. Thanks for your partnership and compassion.

Because of Him,

A couple toys and hugs made this little girl very happy!

Dear Friends,

Because you’ve demonstrated your compassion for our Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ who survived January’s earthquake, I wanted to update you on Heaven’s Family’s on-going relief efforts in Haiti. I recently returned from a week’s trip there.

Our team of five journeyed to Haiti with plenty of concerns. There were reports that the often-deadly disease of cholera was spreading. Then we learned that presidential elections were scheduled two days before our arrival. Many sources predicted violence when the results were announced. The Lord kept reassuring us, however, and we went as planned.

Day 1

On the first day, we checked on the progress of a home Heaven’s Family is helping to rebuild for a man named Antoine, whose story we told in the March issue of our magazine. Antoine and his wife lost a daughter when their small home collapsed during January’s quake. When I visited their homesite in July there was only a pile of rubble, but this time I was encouraged to see a simple home rising up in the very same place. The joy and gratitude on Antoine’s face encouraged me.

We also visited two orphanages in Port-au-Prince. The first one, Children’s Home for Tomorrow, had never been visited by Heaven’s Family staff before, although we had been in contact with the director via email for a few months. The children welcomed us warmly. They were just finishing school for that day, which is conducted in their rented orphanage building.

Our team members didn’t waste any time loving on the children, giving them new clothes, shoes, toys, and medicine. We were blessed to see the joy on their faces! While my wife Karin and I, the two Heaven’s Family staff members on the team, busied ourselves talking to the orphanage staff and taking photos, our three other teammates played with the children and gave them lots of hugs. I think everyone at the orphanage truly sensed that the Lord touched them that day.

At Children’s Home for Tomorrow, orphans received special love and attention from our team members

We later visited Mt. Zion Orphanage, which Heaven’s Family has assisted for several years through our child sponsorship program. The children have finally begun to sleep inside their concrete block home (which was not damaged in the quake, and which our work team painted in July), having slept outside in tents for more than eight months due to their fear of another earthquake. We also gave them clothing, shoes, toys, and some medicine, and talked to the director about helping him rebuild a collapsed wall on the edge of the orphanage property.

Days 2 and 3

On our second day, we drove north to a rural area, where we found El Bethel, a very poor orphanage that had to relocate from Port-au-Prince after the quake because their building became uninhabitable. The director had purchased a small, inexpensive parcel of land—a barren, rock-strewn plot without access to water—and built a very simple concrete block building in which he and his wife now live with over forty children.

Our hearts broke to see their living conditions. Everything—including water—had to be carried up a rocky, winding path to the low hilltop where they live. The director and his wife, however, had the joy of Lord in their hearts, and they were grateful for our visit. We intend to provide them with a well so that they can enjoy a plentiful source of water for themselves and their dozen or so neighbors. We also hope to find sponsors for their children through the Orphan’s Tear division of Heaven’s Family. (Please email me at Jeff [at] HeavensFamily.org if the Lord touches your heart in that regard.)

After our stop at El Bethel, we headed for what has been named “Mahaneim Camp,” about an hour’s drive north of Port-au-Prince. This is the Christian resettlement camp that many of you, through Heaven’s Family, have helped sustain throughout the months following the earthquake. Hundreds of our brothers and sisters in Christ fled there after their homes were destroyed, and we helped provide their basic needs.

For the last few months we’ve been funding construction of permanent homes to move people out of tents. Six duplexes that will house twelve families are nearing completion. Each duplex costs about $10,000. Our team of five even got to spend two nights in one of the homes!

Heaven’s Family is also working with the camp’s spiritual leaders to develop income-generating small businesses and a school to teach English and computer skills. The long-term vision is to help the camp’s families become more self-sufficient and reach out to their neighbors. We were very excited to see how, thanks to you, we’ve made a measurable difference in the lives of the people there.

Days 4 and 5

We left Mahaneim Camp early on the fourth day and headed back to Port-au-Prince’s airport to catch our flight to north-central Haiti aboard a single-engine Cessna. Landing on the grass strip in the town, Pignon, was very smooth, and we were soon at Mt. Carmel Orphanage, which Heaven’s Family has also been assisting for several years through our child-sponsorship program.

Just as at the other three orphanages we’d already visited, we blessed the children at Mt. Carmel with new clothing, shoes, and toys, and gave medical supplies to the director. We spent two nights there, sleeping in an adjacent home, so we were able to spend lots of time with the children. We also took photos and collected names and biographical information of several new orphans. Many of them lost their parents in the earthquake and were moved to Mt. Carmel from Port-au-Prince. They are now living in a much better place.

New toys and clothes brought smiles to lots of children!

Day 6

In the morning, we drove back to the airport to catch our little plane for the flight back to Port-au-Prince. A few cases of cholera had been reported in the area recently, and many people were fearful. Cholera, however, is easily cured with antibiotics and lots of liquids. We were glad to be able to leave some medicine to treat cholera at Mt. Carmel in the event it reaches their neighborhood.

After arriving safely back in Port-au-Prince, we had some time to rest and reflect on our mission trip. We were very grateful to have accomplished everything we hoped to accomplish, with the added unexpected blessing of helping a new orphanage. And I’m happy to report that all of our on-going relief and development efforts are progressing satisfactorily.

Thanks to all of you who have helped poor Haitian believers through Heaven’s Family during this year of disaster. Together, we’ve touched the lives of thousands of our brothers and sisters in Christ. They asked me to send you their heart-felt thanks, and I’m sure they will also put in a good word for you when we stand before the Lord someday! Thanks for making a difference.

Be blessed this Christmas Season!

Flooding in Pakistan has displaced millions

Dear Friends,

The world is beginning to understand just how devastating this summer’s flooding in Pakistan has been. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently put it in perspective, stating:

Pakistan is facing a slow-motion tsunami. At least 160,000 square kilometers of land is under water [That is an area larger than the entire state of Florida]. Fifteen to twenty million people need shelter, food and emergency care. That is more than the entire population hit by the (2004) Indian Ocean tsunami, the Kashmir earthquake, Cyclone Nargis, and the earthquake in Haiti—combined.

Through our trusted partners in Pakistan, we’ve sent $5,000 from our Disaster Relief Fund to distribute safe water, food, and clothing to some of the neediest victims of the flooding. These vital supplies are being delivered by six Pakistani Christian teams placed strategically throughout the nation of Pakistan. Over 14 million people have been displaced by the intense flooding in Pakistan, and at least 6 million of these are children. More than 70,000 homes have been destroyed by the flooding. As you can imagine, the need is great and will continue for months.

As in every disaster, God is at work. This flooding in Pakistan provides the followers of Jesus with a unique opportunity. In a recent email appeal, our partner put it this way:

As I look at places where those affected live and will gravitate to, plus where these trustworthy, faithful [Pakistani] Christian Partners are located, the scripture in Esther 4:14 comes to mind: “Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” This is a GREAT opportunity for these Christian Teams to share their faith with the Muslim majority. Please PRAY for all involved in this endeavor.

Help Bring Relief from the Flooding in Pakistan

Through Heaven’s Family’s Disaster Relief Fund, we hope to continue taking advantage of this opportunity—wrought by the flooding—to spread Christ’s light in the darkness of Pakistan. If you would like to help bring relief (both temporal and eternal) from the flooding in Pakistan, please click here. As always, 100% of your contributions will go directly to those in need. Thanks.

Because of Him,

A Khampa woman from Yushu, in Tibet

Dear Friends,

God has done it again. Through the Yushu earthquake, He’s opened a door for the gospel in a few seconds where missionaries haven’t been able to break through for centuries. On April 14th, the Yushu earthquake rocked Qinghai Province in China. Heaven’s Family joined with indigenous Christian relief ministries in that key moment to help take advantage of an open door.

We helped initially with $3,000 in relief to provide emergency food, clothing, blankets, and other relief supplies for 30 of the neediest families, and through your compassion following our appeal for help in April we’ve assisted more by sending an additional $2,000 in relief for those most impacted by the earthquake in Yushu.

These supplies are providing much more than physical relief, however.

The Yushu earthquake took place at the heart of a completely unreached people group, the Northern Khampa Tibetans. They are one of the most difficult groups to reach anywhere in the world because of the geographical, cultural, linguistic, and spiritual barriers that have prevented them from hearing the gospel for centuries. Although professing to be Buddhists, the Khampa actually worship demons that must be placated by constant offerings. They also worship Yama, the god of death. The Yushu earthquake not only caused buildings to crumble, but it’s causing many of the barriers to the gospel to crumble and fall as well.

Chinese Christian relief workers have traveled to Yushu—because of the earthquake—in the past several weeks and are boldly sharing the gospel. As the Khampas see love from believers demonstrated to them in the midst of their tragedy, some are repenting and turning to Jesus. Thank you for your partnership in this long-overdue harvest! Your gifts to the Disaster Relief Fund are continuing to reap eternal rewards.

Affected by the Yushu earthquake, Khampa people can now hear the gospel for the first time, thanks to Christian relief workers

Help Spread the Word About Ongoing Yushu Earthquake Relief

Do you know others who have compassion for those struggling through times of disaster, such as this earthquake? Please forward this email to them, along with your recommendation of Heaven’s Family, so that we can continue to send relief and meet urgent needs in places like Tibet, Chile, Haiti, and wherever God sovereignly opens the next door.

Because of Him,

Haiti’s beauty lies in the faces of her children, who seem to smile so easily despite the very difficult living conditions there

Tuesday morning finally arrived, and I rolled out of bed excited about the day ahead. This was the last full day of my five-day trip to Haiti to check on the progress of our relief efforts there. Today our ministry friend, Pastor Preval, and I were looking forward to delivering food to several groups of needy believers in Port-au-Prince, including a stop at Mt. Zion Orphanage. (Click here to read a report in our March newsletter about Mt. Zion.)

I wish you could have been with me that entire day to enjoy the many expressions of thanks I received on behalf of you who have given—smiling faces, warm handshakes, sweaty hugs (it’s always hot there this time of year), and even a kiss! Well, I hope I can at least bring you along through words and pictures.

Our first stop was at a bulk-food warehouse to purchase $1,000 worth of rice, beans, and cooking oil. This warehouse wasn’t Costco or Sam’s Club, however, and the shotgun-carrying guard confirmed that. Port-au-Prince has made some significant progress since my last visit there a week after the January 12th earthquake, but it remains a dangerous and desperate place. After loading our beat-up old Land Rover to its capacity, and covering everything with a tarp to avoid attracting unwanted attention, we were on our way.

“Premium” American rice, beans, and cooking oil is stacked, left, and then loaded into our Land Rover

We planned that our first food delivery would be to a small camp where a few dozen people from one church were taking refuge. Preval informed me on the way, however, that their location was too dangerous for us to take the food to directly. He feared that we would be mobbed by other people in the area. Naively, I did not realize that all this food made us a target. In much of Port-au-Prince, people are everywhere and never seem to sleep, desperately trying to make enough money to survive another day—and secrets are hard to keep. Instead of going to the camp, therefore, we made a low-profile delivery at the house of the pastor who serves the people there, leaving about six large sacks of food that he would deliver to them in smaller portions.

Next, our Land Rover groaned and rattled its way to Preval’s own church, up eroded rocky “roads” that wound through the tightly packed houses, shacks, abandoned vehicles, and other various discarded materials that seem to fill every nook and cranny. When we finally arrived, I saw about eight tents erected in a small church yard surrounded by walls. Also in this yard were four or five outdoor classrooms filled with children in school uniforms. Several tarps stretched across the area to shield them from sun and rain. After unloading some of our valuable cargo and taking many photos (I can’t resist when I see precious children whom Jesus loves!), we moved on to Mt. Zion Orphanage, just a few minutes away.

School was in session when we arrived; the food we delivered was for the people who lived in the tents in the background of the left photo

I enjoyed seeing the children of Mt. Zion Orphanage again, and they seemed to enjoy seeing me! Many children were just returning from school when we arrived, and one little girl greeted us with a kiss on the cheek. They quickly gathered around, and many hammed it up for my camera.

The orphanage compound, small as it is, looked much more organized and back to normal than when I visited in January. They’ve moved back into their home during the day, but continue to sleep in one large tent at night, still fearing the aftershocks that occasionally return to remind them of that awful day in January. We unloaded some more of our life-giving cargo, and also left some clothes, toys, and a little candy that I brought.

By now our load was getting lighter, and our joy at being able to serve our needy brothers and sisters was growing. We drove southwest, towards the outskirts of the city, then made one more arduous climb in our Land Rover up a yet steeper and more deeply rutted path/street (Land Rover’s reputation for building vehicles that go anywhere is well-deserved). We passed one of the larger tent cities on the way.

When our path came to an end, we found ourselves at a very small church in the midst of various small, dilapidated cement-block houses of the type that characterize Haiti. I was told that there was an eighty-year-old pastor who served a congregation there numbering fifty-five or sixty people. His name was Pastor Clermonier, and we met his son, Daniel, and his family, as well as his brother-in-law Cressant and his oldest son, Jeff. We also brought them a tent.

Almost the entire right wall of Pastor Clermonier’s church had collapsed, but thankfully two columns prevented the roof from caving in. The small home that Clermonier, his wife, and his son’s family lived in didn’t fare so well (half of it collapsed), but no one was seriously injured. Preval told me of his heart for Clermonier’s ministry, and of his desire to rebuild his home for him.

Little Sephora as cute as she can be with her hairdo-in-progress!

With only a couple bags of food remaining, we headed back towards Preval’s home. On the way, a woman from his congregation met us on the street. We gave her the remaining food for her family, completing our mission for the day. It was so awesome to be able to deliver the much-needed food—God’s love for them provided through spiritual family members like you! My heart was full of joy.

Although the need is so great, it is wonderful to be able to serve Jesus through these people who are still so much in need. And by purchasing the food locally, we are also helping the economy to recover. As the economy gets back on its feet and more Haitians are able to find jobs again, we’ll be able to help other hurting brothers and sisters in another part of the world. Thanks so much again to our friends who have given in the past few months to help disaster relief victims in Haiti and elsewhere.

Dear Friends,

I’m sure you’ve heard about the 6.9 earthquake that struck a remote area of Qinghai Province, northwest China, last week. The damage centered on the Tibetan town of Yushu, home to 85,000 people. More than 80% of the buildings there have collapsed. The death toll is over 2,000, with many people still missing. Thousands of people are without shelter.

I’m glad that I Was Hungry is connected with those in China who rushed to the Yushu region to offer emergency supplies and a Christian witness. Within hours of the earthquake, a team travelled to the disaster zone to help. Most of the team members were involved with the earthquake relief efforts in Sichuan Province in 2008, in which we were also involved. The combination of their loving help and bold witness for Jesus Christ saw thousands of people in Sichuan come to faith in Jesus.

Night-time temperatures in Yushu are below freezing, and so the Chinese team initially provided blankets and warm coats to afflicted people. Now they have put together five-hundred emergency aid kits to help the worst-affected families. Those kits include a solar panel and battery lighting system and USB charger, a USB-heated blanket, ten pounds of rice, a liter of cooking oil, a first-aid kit and a cooking pan.

Each kit costs $100 for the items and delivery into the hands of the most needy families in Yushu. I Was Hungry has paid for emergency kits for thirty families so far. We’d like to help more families.

If you would like to help us with relief efforts in Tibet by contributing to our Disaster Relief Fund, you can give securely by credit card through our website by clicking here, or by calling our office during regular business hours (8:30AM – 5PM EST) at (412) 833-5826.

If you are familiar with our policy, you know that 100% of all gifts to the Disaster Relief Fund are sent overseas to provide relief for disaster victims in the name of Christ. All administrative costs are paid by the general fund of Heaven’s Family. (We are, of course, continuing our earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, as Jeff Trotter, director of our Disaster Relief Fund, is there right now.)

I also ask that you pass this on to your compassionate friends along with your recommendation of Heaven’s Family, as that might also be a means to meet urgent needs and answer prayers in Tibet.

Sincerely in Christ,

David
