Located in the mountains of Southern Taiwan, one hour away from Kaohsiung by car, CMCH is a safe haven for many children whose parents are unable to take care of them for various reasons. The Taiwan
Aborigine Choir members are ready for their 2007 tour! BeginningsReverend Hsu Yang and his wife, Fung-Yin adopted their first child, a deaf and mute girl, in 1952 soon after they were married in Taipei, Taiwan. Mr. Yang had just graduated from seminary in Taipei, and the couple felt a calling to move to Liu Kwei in Kaohsiung county to work in the church and help the needy children there. While living in the local church, they continued to take in children into their care so that by 1964, the church building had become too crowded. One of the couple's four biological children, Joseph Yang, recalls those early days. "The church was so full that we had to start looking for room elsewhere. Besides, the children liked lots of space where they could dance and sing." Hsu Yang went out in search of a new home for the growing family and was quickly successful in finding land that the Taiwan Sugar co-operative was selling, but not everyone would have thought it was such a sweet deal. In fact, few other people really wanted the desolate side of a mountain that God seemed to be pointing Reverend Yang and his family to. There was no running water, no electricity, no roads, no buildings, and as Joseph recalls, the land wasn't even suitable for farming because of the abundance of rocks and lack of fertile soil. More |
