what to do...

Well, first, I want to say that we have been so encouraged with gifts that have come in here and there for the ministry. There have been somethings that God has used to talk to us, well, at least to me about and emphasize somethings.
As I write this, I am totally exhausted, feeling rather tired and dizzy. Not sure why, though I know that this week holds some special work that needs to be done. It seems like due to some recent events, we have to start this ministry all over again from scratch. But what does that entail? will we have the resources to do that? Who to talk to? where to go? what to do?
This blog will very soon go public. It will be a mix of family and ministry, though we will try to be mainly focused on ministry. We have to get the news out there about resources needed for our work. You all will soon enough hear news, so I am not going to "blow" it:-). Though in Taiwan, the Ministry of Interior is wanting to change the adoption status, meaning, emphasizing domestic. Ministry of Interior has stated that they have plans to have their new regulations made into law to go into affect January 1, 2012. If that does happen, we no longer do adoptions. Ministry of Interior wants to control everything, even those who do domestic and international adoptions. It is sad that no one is considering the children in Taiwan. Taiwan regulations want to keep ONLY healthy infants in Taiwan and the rest go international. That will cause a number of problems, but the main ones I see are: Taiwan society doing away with special needs children or making them an outcast, and what defines special needs (currently ADHD children are special needs). There are lots of things that the gov't has not set up yet, and just wants to go with it. So, this will need lots of prayer!
Here at MLH/CPC, adoption has never been our first ministry. It has been and will always be to the women in need, women in crisis. So, with adoptions soon to be out of the picture, that leaves us without resources. That sounds bad, but everyone knows our resources were coming because of the "donations" via adoptions. So we need to show others around Taiwan that our needs are for women in crisis. Crisis means alot of things to everyone. Crisis pregnancy could be due to age, special needs, health obstacles, number of children, finances, etc. But one thing for sure is that women in crisis pregnancy NEED love and support no matter what. So, that is our goal.
MLH/CPC is soon to be one year old. We are looking to raise money for rent and needs for the cpc and home. We have new future goals, new plans. We also have God on our side. I am excited about what is coming, but I can't share right now. God is working. God can work through you and your community. Please be praying about the future and what you can do.

Ok,  I need to get off here, but hopefully these next few weeks I can write more. Thank you all for your prayers!!
****PS...we just got a phone call from an 18yr old,please pray for her!
