What do you do......

FIRST......we now have 5 Angels for our 100 Angel project...........we will be going til the end of January, so please do pray with us that we get the 100 Angels slots fully filled. We still need 95 Angels willing to give $20US a month to the ministry here. This will allow us to do our ministry with out having to think about the next bit of finances. It will help us keep serving moms like L, the one below:

When a mom sits there in front of you, and after telling her that she is a minor, she has to have her guardian (dad) to sign papers for anything.......
When the young mom is alone sitting in front of you......
When the mom is due soon, so you don't want to upset her.......
When she just sighs, drops her shoulders and looks like she is about to burst into tears........

PRAY.PRAY.PRAY

That is what you do.

This is what happened yesterday. This momma, L, just showed up. I had talked to her on the phone previously, and so as I was about to go to lunch, she just was at the door.

Her boyfriend was too scared I guess and sat on the scooter outside the door while L came in. I took her to our counseling room. And we talked. About alot of things. Her parents are divorced and dad remarried, stepmom has different ideas than her. She moved out of the house to live with her boyfriend when she was 17 yr old, and her sister has recently done the same.

To her, the thought of telling her dad she is pregnant is absolutely terrifying. Verbal abuse it seems was very prevelant in the house. He doesn't approve of boyfriend. Why don't they get married? In Taiwan, if you are under 20 yrs old, you have to have guardian approval to get married.

So, yesterday, as I sat with L, we had many quiet times. She didn't hear what she wanted, that all will be ok and all will live happily ever after. She was thinking of every possible trick and plan to keep her dad from finding out. We are supposed to talk again today about this too. Sometime today. When she is ready.
