our new momma

Ah Wen is moving in on the 14th. She is 21yr old and has already had 4 abortions. She goes to her first prenatal exam on the 13th. Her younger sister was our first momma. We really need prayers for Ah Wen. I have spoken with her and explained to her how she needs to take it easy til she is about week 12. Her body has been used to "getting rid of baby" and so her body might naturally do this. She understands. Though her thoughts are to keep baby. She is really immature. She feels that her family will accept this baby because it will be a playmate for her sister's baby. She assumes that mom (aka. grandmom) will keep baby while she works, just like her sister. Her boyfriend feels getting married is just some ritual, you don't REALLY need to get married to have a family. *sigh* we have our work cut out!

This week one of the moms and I did crafts. One mom was visiting home and the other was at school. But praise GOD we have someone who is willing to come once a week and teach crafts (now I don't have to 3 times a week!!LOL!).

We are thankful we have a sponsor for Ah Hui who is our senior in highschool. She graduates in May. Her school is great and allowing her arrive and leave at different times since students are asking questions and making her feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, her dream of marrying the birth father and everyone living happily ever after is not coming true. Ah Hui needs prayers for peace on what to do, alot of decisions for a 17yr old.

Ah Wen and another mom, Ah Juan plan on keeping baby. They will be doing crafts to sell at Respect Life and on a website. I hope to show you some soon. We hope to do somethings for adpotive families as well. These two moms will need sponsors during their stay at MLH.

God is working! we have been keeping at least 4 moms in there at one time for some time now. But our counselor is getting married in June, that leaves us needing a counselor to stay at nights. Please pray we can figure something out. Anyone know of someone who wants to be a counselor at nights for unwed moms?:-)


Pray with us as we minister to these moms that they may see their needs to change into the image of our Lord. Then as they start a new life in HIM, their lives will be changed forever!
But we with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (II Cor. 3:18)
