One Heart Blog – Dec 22, 2021

PGJyLz4=We believe every child deserves a safe place to live, the love of a family, and people who advocate for them with passion no matter what their diagnosis or life expectancy is.We believe love heals and transforms lives. Love is contagious and we believe that as others see us loving ‘the least of these’ Matthew 25:40 we will also impact the community.One Heart in Taiwan cares for and loves the most vulnerable children in this society. We care for vulnerable babies that other organizations are unable or unwilling to care for. Because of their special needs, special medical conditions or unique family situations other institutions have rejected these children. We get a front row seat to see the evidence that love heals physical, emotional, and neurological damage. We minister to some of these children from brokenness into healing and others from brokenness into eternity. One Heart serves these children and offers them a family home-like facility with appropriate therapies and advocacy until they are united with an adoptive family, or their birth family situation changes, or until they pass away. Currently our homes are structured to meet the rigid laws of Taiwan. These “homes” are legally registered in Taiwan and we work closely with local Medical and Social Welfare Services. When loving medically compromised children or children with special needs we know there is a risk they may die in our care or be shamed by this society but their lives, no matter how long or how short are worthy of the same love, care, and opportunities as every other human being. You may be asking what happens to these babies if we don’t care for them. The answer is simple and hard. If nobody steps forward to care for these babies they are sometimes denied lifesaving medical intervention. If they don’t pass away in the hospital they are sent to elderly hospice centers where they are given little stimulation and no individual loving care.This year a baby with severe cerebral palsy passed away. The doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, and others whose lives crossed our path when I had her out with me were astounded at the love we gave her. Many of these people commented on how our love was different. Amy’s memorial service was packed with people who I never expected to attend and many of these people heard the gospel for the very first time. Her journey to heaven continues to touch lives and change hearts. A little girl who, by the world’s standards, had nothing to give; gave people a look at God’s unconditional love and mercy. The Great Commission has not only helped by allowing a channel for people to give financially; they have also been an encouragement and support when life gets rough. We can’t do this work alone and The Great Commission is a constant reminder that we have cheerleaders and prayer warriors who affirm that we are not alone. PGJyLz4=PGJyLz4=Prayer RequestEvery month we pray for enough financial support to pay the nannies and the other costs of operating a baby home. My prayer is that many people would come forward with larger donations so we can begin our next project of opening a bigger home, hiring more workers, and say “yes” to accepting babies instead of saying “no”. These babies need us and they need you. We never have a shortage of phone calls asking for us to help more babies. Would you please consider making a donation today and joining our team! With faith we started this organization and with faith we will grow.PGJyLz4=DONATE NOWPGJyLz4=PC9icj48L2JyPg==https://gcfcanada.comwp-content/uploads/2020/11/GCF-Logo-2.pngABOUT GCFSince 2002, the Great Commission Foundation has been providing a place for individuals, ministries and organizations to thrive in all areas of ministry in order to do just that – fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ and to help the impoverished.We are passionate about simplifying Ministry & Mission.
