Mission Statement

Ray of Hope is a Christian organization dedicated to promoting the sanctity of life, teaching sexual purity, and bringing restoration to women in the midst of a crisis due to an unwanted pregnancy or a previous abortion.

 

 

 

 

History

In Taiwan, an island of 22 million people, over 500,000 babies are destroyed by abortion each year. A recent survey reveals that more than 53% of teens have experienced sex by the time they have finished high school, a figure which has increased four-fold in the past ten years. Premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are increasing at an alarming rate.

 

None of us wants to see our beloved ones struggling with these kinds of crisis and suffering. How much more will our Heavenly Father’s heart grieve for them? His perfect love and mercy stirred a group of missionary women to begin to pray, plan, and organize. Then, in September, 1999 the Ray of
Hope Mercy Ministries was born.

 

What Is Our Vision For The Future?

1. To train volunteers to take the message of sanctity of life and sexual abstinence into all of Taiwan's schools.
2. To encourage the government to begin using the sanctity of life -based abstinence “Worth Waiting For” curriculum
   in Taiwan’s schools rather than the currently used “safe sex” curriculum.
3. To establish a network of Christian “foster” homes for pregnant women who have been rejected by their families
   because of their decision to have their babies, and provide them practical help during the pregnancy such as a place to live, a job, schooling, etc.
4. To provide a safe healthy place for teens to come and chat, and develop healthy relationships at our Lighthouse Cafe and Ray of Hope Youth Life Center.

Director's letter

 

Dear Ray of Hope Friends,

It seems that only a few short weeks ago I was asked to come volunteer with Ray of Hope. I was to help raise funds and do administrative work. And somehow here I am, after less than two years, praying for God’s wisdom to work with a dedicated staff and to direct this work in making Ray of Hope a continued blessing to the people of Taiwan.

 

When I felt the Lord’s leading to be a missionary at nine years old, missionaries would come and tell us stories about beautiful Formosa and the wonderful Taiwanese people. Who would have ever dreamed I would be here, helping hurting, unwed moms? But God took me through valleys in my own life to fill me with compassion for others walking through valleys. Some are shallow, rough, or some have deep and rugged ravines; but we each experience our own valley. Some valleys seem impossible to climb out of. That’s how our moms feel with an unwanted pregnancy.

 

I’m so thankful for the love of Jesus Christ to came to “set at liberty those that are bruised and to heal the brokenhearted.” If we are able to do that even a little at Ray of Hope, we have succeeded in what Jesus was sent to earth to do.

 

Thank you for your love and financial support to keep our Caring Home open for unwed moms, our WWF (Worth Waiting For) program going into the Taiwan schools, churches and organizations, our Lighthouse Youth Center available for Bible studies and English activities, and for love to radiate forth from here with a ray of hope to the Taiwanese people in beautiful Formosa.

 

Helping the hurting,

 

Pastor Juanita
Executive DIrector
