I need your help!


As most of you know, I work for the ministry of Heaven's Family, and I love my job. I direct the Orphan's Tear division and also the North Korean Christians Fund. 

Last year, $320,000 passed through Orphan's Tear to help over 1,000 orphans who live in 54 orphanages in 9 countries. We've also been working towards helping all of our orphanages become self-sufficient in various ways, including helping them start income-generating businesses such as pig or chicken farms.

Since the inception of the North Korean Christians Fund, Heaven's Family has provided over $86,000 to assist our persecuted and often starving brothers and sister inside North Korea. We've helped smuggle Bibles to them as well as tons of food. We've also paid for the expenses of helping nine North Korean Christians escape from North Korea whose lives were in danger there.

Probably one of the biggest reasons I'm so proud of working at Heaven's Family is because 100% of every contribution to our various focused funds is used for each fund's specified need. Not a penny is used for administration. If someone sends $20 to meet a need through one of our focused funds, $20 is sent overseas to the need. Thus Heaven's Family pays my salary, and all administrative costs of the ministry, from the general fund. In addition, many of Heaven's Family's employees are completely or partially self-supported by friends and family members who contribute to their personal support funds.

I've said all of that to ask a question. Would you consider supporting me as I serve at Heaven's Family? My desire is to see the ministry of Heaven's Family expand and grow. I'd love to help make that happen by developing my own personal support team, thus reducing what is needed to pay me from the general fund.

Of course, I have nothing to gain by receiving my salary from my own support fund rather than the general fund. I just know that if less from the general fund is needed for my salary, more money is freed up from the general fund, which will ultimately make Heaven's Family even more fruitful.

If you'd like to join my personal support team, that would be great. You can do so by navigating to my personal page at Heaven's Family's website. The exact URL is: https://www.heavensfamily.org/elisabethservant . Everything is self-explanatory there.

Thanks for your prayerful consideration! If you'd like to learn more about all that I do at Heaven's Family, feel free to comment on this post, email, facebook, or call me!

God bless you!
