In the name of that same Christ we pray. Amen.<\/p>\n<p>(Soloist sings with organ accompaniment)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Amen! Greetings to all of our friends and members of \u201cChurch in the Home\u201d throughout this great nation of ours, and wherever you may be watching television or viewing uh, this telecast. And all you friends who will be listening today to our radio network broadcast, God bless each and every one of you. And I think it\u2019s important that I tell you now that we have, as I indicated in my prayers, some special guests, little ones all the way from the land of Korea. And you friends who\u2019ve prayed and who have cooperated and been so <em>wonderful<\/em> in sponsoring this one orphanage that we sponsor in Korea, are going to see the little\u2013 uh, just a <em>little<\/em> bit of the fruit of your prayers and your gifts and your efforts.<\/p>\n<p>We have one of God\u2019s angels here today. I thought a long time last night before I decided to use that expression. In our hospitals, we call our nurses \u201cangels of mercy,\u201d but I think if you could watch this young lady in her directing and operating this orphanage, I think you\u2019d be like the little lady I met today who has five little babies. And she was feeling quite weary and tired, and I said, \u201cHow would you like to have <em>22<\/em> little babies in a crib in one room?\u201d Well, she said, \u201cI guess I have a lot to be thankful for.\u201d This is the director that you sent out over <em>four<\/em> years ago to our orphanage that we built and supported there. With her, we have Willie [Jordan] back with us today, and we had a wonderful trip down at Texas, our school, but we\u2019re glad to be back, and to have them tell you just a little bit out of their hearts about those <em>early<\/em> days in Korea when they slept on the floor, and I understand that the room was so small, and these girls are so tall that they actually had to put their feet under the bed, the bed wasn\u2019t uh\u2013 a bed uh, long enough to sleep on, so they slept on the floor with their feet <em>under<\/em> the bed. So go on, Willie! And Lorraine Jost. God\u2019s uh, uh, wonderful angel, uh, for the children of Korea, and Willie, God bless you. It\u2019s wonderful to have you two girls here, and I think I\u2019ll just let you uh, talk out of your hearts, uh, Willie uh\u2013 Tell us how this whole thing started? How you\u2013 how you and Lorraine got together, and did you actually have to sleep on the floor in the little Korean home and uh, didn\u2019t understand the language, or something about it, and how the burden came for the orphanage?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Well, I think Reverend Jordan, it began of course, when you went to Korea the first time, you saw such a need there, and you came back and raised several thousand dollars and sent it direct to the president of Korea, President Syngman Rhee, And then when I made a trip to the Orient to visit some of our mission stations in other parts of the Far East, you sent me to Korea. And while there, the Lord gave <em>me<\/em> a burden too for the children of Korea. And on my way back to America, I met Lorraine Jost who was then a \u201cChurch in the Home\u201d missionary in Hawaii. But she didn\u2019t want to be in Hawaii, she wanted to go to Korea, to take care of babies. And uh, the next time I met Lorraine, she was there in this little room, and uh, we did put our feet under the bed, didn\u2019t we? But it wasn\u2019t only because of the bed. Tell him what you told him this morning!<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Well, it was often because the floor was warm, and we didn\u2019t have uh, enough covers and everything to keep warm. It\u2019s cold in Korea.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> They\u2013 they heat under the floor.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Yes. That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And keep the floor warm.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Radiant heating.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Radiant heating.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Mmm-hmm.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, that\u2019s what they talk about here, but we don\u2019t have it yet. And Lorraine, it\u2019s wonderful. We\u2019re going to see you several times today uh, on this program, and the babies, we want you present them to the parents. I know it\u2019s going to be a\u2013 a terrific emotional uh, hour for <em>all<\/em> of us as the parents receive these precious little dolls <em>all<\/em> the way from Korea. And I wish this was color to see those <em>fabulous<\/em> colors, white, and I guess that\u2019s a deep uh, maroon or red, and\u2013 and uh, Willie, yours is\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> (unintelligible)\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Gold, and\u2013 and uh\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Well, mine is a <em>festival<\/em> dress. Lorraine\u2019s dress is one that they actually wear\u2013 Maybe she could step out, and the camera can get a picture with the very uh, short waist and the long skirt, and <em>this<\/em> is the dress that the Korean ladies actually wear every day, whereas the dress <em>I<\/em> have on is more of a <em>festival<\/em>, or <em>New<\/em> Year\u2019s dress.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, thank you so much, girls. And now we\u2019ll bring you back in a moment. But first, let\u2019s listen to Harriet, uh\u2013 Oh, the choir is going to sing. I\u2019ve been gone three weeks, so naturally I\u2019m confused this morning with all these children. Choir, sing for us.<br \/>\n(Organ music. Choir sings.)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Thank you so much, choir. Yesterday at the airport, when Lorraine Jost arrived from Korea with these four precious orphans, uh, we had a\u2013 a lot of anticipation, and we were quite anxious, because the fog had delayed the landing of the plane at the international airport, and uh, I think we still are so excited today, we just don\u2019t know hardly what we\u2019re doing. And then uh, the <em>adjustment<\/em> of these little uh, fellas to new parents who speak a strange language to them, and then the\u2013 the anticipation on the part of the parents, and the thrill of having these new babies they\u2019ve waited, prayed for, longed for, has caused a great deal of emotion in all of our hearts. So if\u2013 if we make some mistakes today, well, you just bear with us, and\u2013 and uh, pray with us, because I know you\u2019re all going to be thrilled uh, when you meet some of these uh, wonderful parents. Uh\u2013 We have Mrs. and Mr. Owens here today, and I\u2019m going to ask them to come now and uh, we want to find out <em>why<\/em> they wanted an orphan from Korea. I wonder if you\u2019ll come, Mrs. Owens and Mr. Owens, God bless you. We welcome you to the \u201cChurch in the Home,\u201d and Mr. Owens. And uh, what is your name, doll?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nRachel Owens:<\/strong> Rachel.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Rachel! That\u2019s a Bible name, isn\u2019t it? I wish you could\u2019ve been at the airport to see this precious little doll yesterday, and uh, what was that you\u2013 you gave to the little orphan? A doll? And she was just like a little mother. Now I wonder if we can start first. Mr. Owens, what is your uh, profession?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> I\u2019m an accountant.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> An accountant! And uh, this is your own flesh and blood?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> Own flesh and blood.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> She\u2019s not adopted.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> No.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Now\u2013 now <em>why<\/em> uh, why would you want a little baby in your home? Huh?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nRachel:<\/strong> I like them.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> You like \u2018em! Well, a lot of people like \u2018em, but they cost money to support, I found that out at our house. Uh\u2013 How\u2013 How about you, Dad? Uh\u2013 Why did you want another child?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> Well, because Jesus loves all the little children, faith in the children of the world, and we wanted another one for a sister\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> A companion, huh?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> And a companion, and also for the sharing of God\u2019s love with some child who is <em>not<\/em> as fortunate as the children in America.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Now uh, Mrs. Owens, uh, how about you as\u2013 as a mother? Uh, uh, what prompted you in your heart to go along about the adoption of another child?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> Well, we\u2019ve tried for a good many years to do this, and this just was the only way <em>open<\/em>, that we wanted some\u2013 another child in our home, rather than to raise one alone.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Oh, I\u2013 I know that uh, your hearts are anxious, and uh, the <em>thrill<\/em> and <em>joy<\/em> of seeing this couple <em>yesterday<\/em> <em>waiting<\/em> as if they were going to receive something from a\u2013 a satellite or from Mars or the moon, and yet it\u2019s so intangible, because they\u2019ve never actually had anything but a <em>picture<\/em> of your baby, had you?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> No.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And we\u2019re so happy you\u2019re here. Where are you from? What state?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> Clarinda, Iowa.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Clarinda, Iowa? And uh, how large a place is that?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> Population between five and six thousand.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Five and six thousand. And you came out here <em>just<\/em> to receive your child?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> That\u2019s true.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s wonderful, and we\u2019re so glad. What are you going to call your little girl?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> Lorna Jean.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Lorna Jean. That\u2019s American name.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> It\u2019s an American name.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s wonderful. You\u2019re a Christian people\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> \u2013active in church work\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> Yes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> \u2013oh, that\u2019s wonderful. We sure\u2013 certainly thank God for ya, and uh, we know that you\u2019re going to have a real thrill when we present that little baby. We\u2019ll do that in just a few minutes, uh, to all you parents, but first now I want us to listen to the harp as Harriet plays.<br \/>\n(Harriet play the harp, with organ accompaniment)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Thank you, Harriet. And you know, when Jesus picked up that little baby in His arms, and said of such is the Kingdom of Heaven, I think there must\u2019ve been some rejoicing in Heaven. And I\u2019m sure that there was yesterday when this plane arrived with these little babies from Korea, and their parents were there ready to greet them. And one of the parents came here from Denver, Colorado, uh, Mrs. Braden. And she\u2019s our guest today, and she\u2019s going to receive a little baby to take home to her husband and the family back in Denver. And so all you friends in Denver, uh, get on the phone right now and call your neighbors and tell them to tune in and maybe you\u2019ll know Mrs. Braden, your neighbor. Mrs. Braden, will you come here to the pulpit? And I want to find out <em>why<\/em> you wanted this little baby from Korea. Uh\u2013 First of all, uh, you\u2019re married\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Yes, sir.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> \u2013and you have a husband\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Yes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And what does your husband do?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> He\u2019s in the real estate business.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Real estate business.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Mm-hmm.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Now do you work?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> No, I\u2019m a housewife.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> You\u2019re a housewife. Well, that\u2019ll be wonderful. You have any children?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Uh\u2013 No.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> No children.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> I have one now! (Laughs)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> You have one now! (Laughs) You\u2019re going to have one in a few minutes. We\u2019re going to give you one from Korea. Now what\u2013 what prompted you to uh, uh, contact us about uh, uh, adopting a child from our orphanage?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Well, in your paper\u2013 Of course, you featured them every now and then, and a lady from our church who receives your paper gave us the information.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Oh, it\u2019s probably like this paper here that\u2019s uh\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Yes. Uh\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> (unintelligible word) orphans, or something like that?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Yes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, we\u2019ll be happy for folks to get a copy. It\u2019ll tell them about the orphanage work, and uh, then you corresponded with us\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> We wrote right away, and we\u2019ve just been anxious ever since to hear.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, the people that sponsor these orphans in our orphanages in Japan and Korea, they\u2019re anxious that they become Christians and reared in Christian homes. You and Mr. Braden Christian people?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Oh yes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And you\u2019ll believe in the Lord with all your heart?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> I certainly do.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> You intend to bring up the child that way?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> Oh, definitely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fred Jordan:<\/strong> Now what do you think about this problem of uh, mixed blooded children being in your community?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> (Pause) Well, I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t\u2013 it doesn\u2019t make any difference to us, and I\u2019m sure that as they grow older, that they will be Americans just like anyone else. I think they\u2019ll be accepted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fred Jordan:<\/strong> Bless your heart, those tears are coming. And we\u2019re going to find out uh, in just a moment from our director\u2019s <em>sister<\/em>, who adopted a child over a year ago from Korea, a mixed-blooded child, and we\u2019re going to ask her personally how the community receives a mixed-blood child in <em>her<\/em> community. And so I think that\u2019ll help answer your question, and uh, so don\u2019t be nervous now, everything\u2019ll be all right, and uh, it won\u2019t be long until we\u2019ll present that child. As soon as we interview another one of the parents or the couples that\u2019re going to receive <em>two<\/em> children. But now I want you to listen to our trio as they sing for us.<br \/>\n(Organ music. Trio sings.)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Thank you, girls. Nice to see you girls again. And now we have a minister and his wife here from back East, and uh, we\u2019re so happy to have them receive <em>two<\/em> children from our orphanage today. And uh, I want them to come right now, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. God bless you. Mrs. Jones, I under\u2013 God bless you, Mr.\u2013 Reverend Jones, and I understand that uh, you\u2019re a registered nurse.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> Yes, I am.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Is that right?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, Lorraine Jost our director is a\u2013 a registered nurse, and I know that\u2019s going to be a <em>big<\/em> help with those children.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> Yes, it has been already.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Don\u2019t you kind of uh, uh, spend part of your time ministering to the sick?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> Yes, uh, our church has a nursing home, a home for the aged, and I work as administrator\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, isn\u2019t that wonderful!<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> \u2013in an advisory capacity (unintelligible under Jordan) very much.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Uh, uh, this pastor and his\u2013 his uh, church uh, and his lovely wife uh, uh, operate a\u2013 a home for the aged, isn\u2019t that right?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And the needy, and we\u2019re so glad, and\u2013 and Mr.\u2013 uh, uh, I want to call you uh, Long, but it\u2019s Jones. I don\u2019t know why I want to call you Reverend Long, but uh, uh, I wonder if you could give us just a little of your background, how you got into uh, the\u2013the ministry, and something about your church, we\u2019re interested in, and uh, your work back there. Surely your hands are full! This lady directs a home for the aged, and her husband has a church, and he operates it without salary, he receives no salary. Is that right?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Correct.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And you make, uh, you\u2013 you have your other income from other sources? And so, how did you get into all of this, and now you want two babies?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Just a desire to help people primarily is the reason. We\u2019ve had a great interest in breaking down barriers between all races and nations and <em>creeds<\/em>, and that\u2019s the primary reason, Brother Jordan, we have uh, entered into the field.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> I see.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> We\u2019ve certainly been pleased to come in contact with your work. We might say when that we were looking for children, we went to different agencies, and all of them had such fabulous prices connected with the <em>adoption<\/em> part, and your agency had no charge, it was just merely the transportation of the children, and you were interested in the welfare of the human being. We felt we wanted to tell that to the television audience.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, thank you so much. Uh\u2013 We didn\u2019t ask for that, but we certainly appreciate it, because people just imagine that it\u2019s black market, and you\u2019re making a <em>fabulous<\/em> sum of money. And uh, you know why we want to adopt children? We want them to have a normal home, that\u2019s one thing.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> (unintelligible word)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Especially with uh, <em>Christian<\/em> parents, and <em>love<\/em>, but we <em>also<\/em> want another thing. We want to vacate our orphanage as fast as we can, to receive those who are dying on the streets, and that are taken to the city hall, ten or fifteen a day, the city hall there in Seoul, Korea, no place to go. And all the orphanages are full and running over and beyond capacity, and <em>your<\/em> taking two will make it possible for us uh, to receive some more orphanages\u2013 uh, orphans.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And it\u2019s so wonderful to have you here, and we\u2019ll put those two little babies in your arms in just a\u2013 a few minutes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Thank you so much, Brother Jordan.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And we got a little more time, (unintelligible name)? I\u2013 I wonder uh, if we can just have a\u2013 a little testimony of your experience. When did you find Christ as your savior?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Six years ago I found Him, as I was pastoring a formal church, and I was\u2013 I was the <em>pastor<\/em>, but I was converted in my own church.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> You mean\u2013 (Laughs) You mean you was the pastor and you was converted\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Yes, I was born again in my own church\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> \u2013after you were uh, preaching to others?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> After I had\u2013 After I had been assigned to my congregation. I did not know about the new birth.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, I don\u2019t know whether we should say this or not, but uh, well, most of the churches are in session today, at this <em>time<\/em>, you know \u2013 we\u2019re on about a hundred television stations \u2013 so maybe you can say\u2013 you suppose there might be other ministers that need to find Christ that are (laughs) pastors of churches?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> I\u2019m certain. In this particular orthodox movement, there are many, because they never asked me whether I knew Christ personally, they just asked me if I had a desire to help <em>people<\/em>, and of course, that <em>is<\/em> important, but we need a personal experience with Christ.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> That\u2019s right! And that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for in \u201cChurch in the Home\u201d! And now I wonder, men, if you\u2019ll sing for Mr. and Mrs. uh\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarceline Jones:<\/strong> Jones.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Jones!<br \/>\n(Organ music starts. Choir sings.)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Thank you, quartet. And now Mr. and Mrs. Owens, we\u2019re come that moment when you\u2019re going to receive the\u2013 that lovely little girl. And certainly thank God for ya, and can\u2013 uh, can you hold up that little Rachel? And maybe you can take the new baby, huh? Uh. Just stand up here close and speak right up, and uh, Rachel, you can sit there on the pulpit. That\u2019s all right. Uncle Fred doesn\u2019t mind\u2013<br \/>\n(Baby cries)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And now uh, we\u2019re going to hear some tears and some crying, and it\u2019s not because these children don\u2019t <em>like<\/em> their new parents, it\u2019s all because it\u2019s all so strange, and all these <em>lights<\/em>, and all these strange people, sometimes <em>I<\/em> get frightened when I look at these cameramen and\u2013 and the crew, and all the gadgets we have here, and uh, this is a <em>great<\/em> moment in your lives, and uh, for all of us here in America, we want to pray for you and thank God for your interest in <em>taking<\/em> a little baby. Lorraine Jost, our orphanage director, will you bring that little doll and\u2013 First of all, just stand here and speak up now, Lorraine. Uh\u2013 Could you tell us where this little baby came from?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Well, Fred, we don\u2019t really know where this little baby came from, because she was an abandoned baby, she was left at the city hall, and uh, we received her through the authorities there, and they brought her to us\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> The city hall in Seoul, Korea.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Yes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> That\u2019s where you found her.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fred Jordan:<\/strong> And they brought her to the orphanage. And now I want to take this\u2013 what\u2019s her name?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Her name is (Korean name).<br \/>\n(Baby cries)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And I know she will want to come in that beautiful garment, but uh\u2013 and she\u2019s crying and\u2013 And it\u2019s not because she doesn\u2019t like her parents, it\u2019s because she don\u2019t like me. And honey, we\u2019re so glad\u2013 and there\u2019s your little sister, Rachel, and here\u2019s your new papa and mama. And uh, Mother, we\u2019re happy to present this little doll uh, to you. May God bless you and\u2013 and keep you and use you and already, she\u2019s fallen in love with them. And uh, we just thank God. Do you have any words right now?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Owens:<\/strong> No, I don\u2019t.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Owens:<\/strong> No.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> You just suppose\u2013 You don\u2019t know what\u2013 God bless ya, thank you so much, and now we want Mrs. Braden to come and receive <em>her<\/em> little doll. You can just go this way. Thank you so much. God\u2013 Oh, come this way, they say. All right, will you come, Mrs. Braden? And this\u2013 this lovely mother\u2019s from Denver, husband couldn\u2019t come, and Lorraine, will you bring <em>her<\/em> little baby. Uh, give us the baby\u2019s name.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> This is Pak, uh\u2013 (Korean name), and she too was\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Speak right up, will you?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> This is (Korean name), and she too was just a little baby that was cast away.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> What do you mean, cast away? Just left?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Just left, we don\u2019t know where she has a mother or father or\u2013 or what.\u00a0 She\u2019s just a\u2013 an abandoned child from Korea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, she\u2019s so sweet, and these beautiful colors of red and blue and gold, and this lovely Korean uh, uh, dress. Well, could you let them see her face so they can see the little baby that came almost dying? And under careful uh, guidance of this lovely angel of God, why, uh, she\u2019s going to new parents. And honey, you come and\u2013 and let Uncle Fred give you to your new family. Uh\u2013 She\u2019s being torn away from one love, but uh, she\u2019s going to another. And I know. There now, now, looky there. There\u2019s your new mama, and Mrs. Braden, uh, do you want to say a word?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Braden:<\/strong> I\u2019m just real thrilled.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Are you? That\u2019s all you can say? Well, isn\u2019t this wonderful, and God bless that doll. Let us have one more look at her. Goodbye, darling. And we hope you have a wonderful time playing in the snow in Denver, Colorado. Thank you so much. God bless you. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, they\u2019re receiving <em>two<\/em> children, so they\u2019ll <em>both<\/em> have their arms full here, and he\u2019s a pastor, and they have a nurse\u2013 uh, a home for the aged, and now two brand new babies. And I think you\u2019ve uh, reared one or two <em>others<\/em> from\u2013 that you\u2019ve taken in.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Three.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> <em>Three<\/em> you\u2019ve taken in. Uh\u2013 Could I ask your age?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJim Jones:<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m 26\u2013 27, I guess, and she\u2019s 31.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Twenty-seven, and already taken in three and all this. Oh, that\u2019s wonderful. God bless you. And Lorraine\u2013 Can I hold you, honey? Oh, that\u2019s wonderful. Now tell us about this girl first.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Fred, this little girl [the soon-to-be Stephanie Jones] was brought to us from another Korean orphanage. She was very sick and malnutritioned there, and uh, neglected, and a\u2013 a GI saw her and had real compassion on her, and uh, asked us whether we would take her in. She had a very bad infection from a burn on her leg, and she responded <em>beautifully<\/em> to love and treatment, and we just uh\u2013 we\u2019re so thrilled to see her have this privilege of coming to the States.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Isn\u2019t that wonderful? And look at that pretty doll. where did you get\u2013 Let\u2019s let them see, you pretty doll. That\u2019s an American doll. Isn\u2019t that a <em>beautiful<\/em> little doll? And we\u2019re so happy that you could be here. And uh, all you friends that\u2019re looking at this little doll, don\u2019t fail to pray for her. And uh, I remember when they had <em>one<\/em> ragged doll over there, with no arms, no legs. Did it have a head on it?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> I think it did. You could tell, it was a doll\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> It had a head, but no arms and no legs, and all of \u2018em fighting over it. Uh, you\u2019re a wonderful girl, God bless you, you <em>are<\/em> God\u2019s angel, to have fifty little babies to take of, and we\u2019re so happy to have this one to present to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. And now tell us about this young man.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> This little boy [the soon-to-be Lew Jones] also came to us as just a\u2013 an abandoned child, we don\u2019t know anything about its parents, we uh, know that he was really neglected, and very thin when he came to us and (unintelligible word) really come out of it. We\u2019re so glad to see him have a chance.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> It\u2019s wonderful. I see he likes to eat, just like our little (unintelligible). And uh\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> They say he doesn\u2019t have any bottom to his stomach.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Now, why\u2013 what is this uh, veil and everything on his head?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Well, this is a festive dress for the little boys in Korea. Seemingly, the little boys are favored, and they have uh, more elaborate dress than even the little girls. And uh, this is one that they wear on their first birthday and so on, at very special occasions.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Um-hmm. That\u2019s\u2013 That\u2019s true of <em>all<\/em> men over in the Far East. If you men want to be men, (unintelligible under laugh) go to the Far East, \u2018cause the\u2013 \u2018cause the men are men there, that\u2019s no place for a woman to wear the trousers, I\u2019ll guarantee you. But uh, in this case, where it\u2019s a lot of hard work, the women have do the work like Lorraine. And now both these children go to the Joneses? You sure you\u2019re not making a mistake?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> No\u2013 No, I\u2019m not making a mistake.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> We don\u2019t want to get them mixed up. \u2018Cause this is the heaviest one, so we\u2019ll present this one to Mr.\u2013 Reverend Jones, and uh, then this little fella uh, to the mama. This is your new mama! And she\u2019ll take care of ya, and watch over ya, and\u2013 and Daddy will watch over, and they\u2019ll teach you about the Lord Jesus Christ, and we just praise God for every one of you precious uh, families and you children. And we ask the Lord to bless you and keep you, and I\u2013 I think that you friends uh, who have had a part will realize the necessity of us having larger quarters over in Korea. The orphanage is forty percent beyond capacity. So pray that God shall someway uh, raise up friends and meet that need. And thank God to each and every one\u2013 Don\u2019t worry about this crying, because I, friends, have heard tears and cries before. God bless you, Mrs. Jones. And God bless you, Brother Jones, and I hope we will cross your paths many, many times. And now our choir is going to sing for us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fred Jordan:<\/strong> Thank you, choir. \u201cAnd the Lord will bring back his own.\u201d Uh, this is the little girl that I told you about that\u2019s been in America about uh, a year, isn\u2019t it?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> A year. Umm-hmm.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And this is Mrs. Dirksen, and uh, she is the <em>sister<\/em> of the girl I call God\u2019s angel, our director from Korea, uh, Lorraine Jost.

Okay. Uh\u2013 Isn\u2019t that wonderful? I want to see if she could talk English! And uh, is this your mommy? Huh? Can you smile for Uncle Fred? Can you smile just a little bit? And uh, how long was she in our orphanage over in Korea?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> About eight or nine months.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Eight or nine months.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> Umm-hmm.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And uh, uh\u2013 so uh\u2013 and she\u2019s been in your home how long?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> A year.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> One year. Now uh, how does she fit in with your family? You have four sons, is that right?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Four boys. And you wanted a little girl.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And now how does this little girl uh, fit in with your family and uh, being a mixed-blooded child?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> As far as we\u2019re concerned, and the boys, she\u2019s no different, she\u2019s just one of us.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> She is.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> She\u2019s the jewel in our home. (Laughs)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> (Laughs) Do you think that you love her really as much as your sons?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m sure the Lord has given us that love in our hearts for her.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And do you love your mommy? Can you give her a little kiss? Huh? Give her a little kiss? (Laughs) Isn\u2019t that pretty? Look at those beautiful feet! That\u2019s wonderful. This is your first time in television, isn\u2019t it?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Just imagine, a child being on television who was abandoned and left uh, to die over there in Korea, and now has this lovely home. Uh\u2013 Whereabouts here in California?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> We live in Reedley, near Fresno.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Reedley, California. Near Fresno. And uh, we just thank God for you. Thank you so much, darlin\u2019. Uh, what\u2013 what about the community? How did they receive her? The neighbors?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMrs. Dirksen:<\/strong> The folks in our community and our church, our friends and loved ones, have just taken them into her heart, or into <em>their<\/em> hearts, and they just love her dearly. Everyone has just been <em>so<\/em> kind and\u2013 and gracious to us and <em>to<\/em> her, and it\u2019s just been a <em>thrill<\/em> to have her come into our home.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s wonderful. Can you just look at her one more time and see if anybody could hate that little doll? Huh? Could you smile? (Laughs) Are you glad to be here in America? Huh? Are ya? You like your papa too? And your little\u2013 and your brothers? Oh, that\u2019s wonderful. God bless you. Thank you so much. You may go that way.<\/p>\n<p>And now I\u2019m going to ask uh, Lorraine uh, Jost and Willie to come back and tell you something about the <em>need<\/em> there, uh, something about the custom of the lepers trying to find a little uh, baby that they can eat in order to uh, get healed, they <em>think<\/em>. So you come right now, Lorraine, and I\u2019m going to turn this portion over to you and to Willie, and let you uh, have <em>most<\/em> of the time today and the\u2013 usually where I give a message, and let you talk out of your hearts about the need, and the people are really uh, getting quite concerned about this building, and I understand that uh, uh, there were some phone calls, one from uh, Phoenix, Arizona, a man said he wanted to help in the new building, and uh, I\u2019m sure other friends gone be raised up until the thousands of dollars are needed uh, that uh, that we\u2013 that we\u2013 we pled for people to give.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> Reverend Jordan, I have some telegrams that just came in here a few minutes ago.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, thank you, Mr. Brett. Just stay here, Mr. Brett. Uh\u2013 Since you\u2019re here, it\u2019s breaking the trend of thought, but we\u2019re starting uh, in two weeks, isn\u2019t it?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> On October the nineteenth.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Two weeks from now we start our live telecast from the heart of downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row, for <em>two<\/em> consecutive Sundays from 11 to 12 o\u2019clock. Is that right?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Now\u2013 now what\u2019s the plan? We\u2019re going to have everything live from right there.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> One hour, right from Skid Row. And we\u2019d certainly like to ask everyone of you Christians to really pray as you\u2019ve never prayed before, and we just hope many of those men find Christ.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Will these men uh, be seen on television just as they come off the streets\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> Just as they come off the street, pushing baby buggies\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Unshaven and\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> Unshaven, is right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> And unkept, and\u2013 and they\u2019ll see them just as they are.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> They certainly will.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> They come from the boxcars and from the streets in the jungles\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMr. Brett:<\/strong> And then we will have a service, you\u2019ll probably see two or three hundred in our service. And we\u2019ll have a regular altar call, and I know that many of them will find the Lord.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Well, if it\u2019s like it\u2019s been every day down there, you\u2019ll see people uh, turned away, men turned away, that are trying to get in for a meal and for a place to sleep, and for the gospel service. Thank you so much. And I\u2019m going to turn these telegrams over to Willie, because she\u2019s the one that uh, is going to tell you the burden that\u2019s on our heart to alleviate the uh, problem there in\u2013 in\u2013 in the orphanages. I\u2019m going to ask you what the problem is with the uh\u2013 with the babies because uh, I\u2019ve been uh, uh, trying to tell the people, and I\u2019m sure sometimes they\u2019ve got questions. In fact, uh, this came up this week, a man asked one of our staff members, said, \u201cWell, uh, how do we know that the money goes to Korea and to the orphans over there?\u201d And of course this person that asked, uh, they didn\u2019t know that this uh, director\u2019s going to be here this <em>week<\/em>. And so our staff members said \u201cWell, why don\u2019t you ask the director? She\u2019ll will arrive Saturday morning, and we\u2019ll be glad to bring her to you, and you can ask her <em>personally<\/em>. And she\u2019ll have children with her, and she\u2019ll have all the evidence you <em>need<\/em>.\u201d Uh\u2013 So uh, uh, that was a wonderful answer, I thought, uh, because here\u2019s the evidence that uh, you get the money and that the orphans are cared for. Now how many babies do you have in this nursery? And do they actually have two in one\u2013 each crib and two on the floor under the crib?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Yes, Fred, we do. We have two babies in each crib, we\u2019ve had\u2013 we have, oh, I\u2019d say about 25 babies under a year and a half. And uh\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Twenty-five under a year and a half of age?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Two\u2013 Two and\u2013 Two to two\u2013 a year and a half.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> It\u2019s all I can do to change <em>two<\/em> babies that are under a year and a half.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> And uh, so we really do need space\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFred Jordan:<\/strong> Oh, bless your heart. I\u2013 I\u2019m going to slip out of the picture. And Willie, you and this dear girl, you\u2019ve been partners in\u2013 in Korea and just built the orphanage over there and you cried together and wept together, and uh, we\u2019re so glad to let you take this time.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Well, Lorraine, I just want to read some of these telegrams that came in, they\u2019ll make you very happy. You know, Reverend Jordan sent some telegrams to some of our friends who\u2019ve been faithful to stand by the children, asking them to send uh, something to help with the new building. And here\u2019s a telegram that comes from Detroit, and it says, \u201cYes, I will send one hundred dollars on the orphanage.\u201d And here is a uh, telegram from Peoria, Illinois, it says, \u201cMailing a one hundred dollar check.\u201d And uh, I can\u2019t tell where this is from\u2013 Oh, from Canada, British Columbia, Canada, fifty dollar money order in today\u2019s air mail, regarding Lorraine Jost Korea. Notify me on arrival of money. Well, you\u2019ll have the privilege of answering all of these letters that come in while you\u2019re here, and maybe you can get some time to thank all these people. And here\u2019s another one, request granted, one hundred dollar check coming today. Another one, 25 dollar check off today. And I know that there are more here, Lorraine, here\u2019s another one, we\u2019ll send fifty dollars, answering your telegram, yes, one hundred dollars on the way. We thank God for all of these people who have sent, and I know that it will help towards the thousands of dollars that we need for this new addition. Now tell us another reason. You said you have all these tiny babies in a crib? Why else do you need more space?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Well, (unintelligible word) we need more space for the older children. They just don\u2019t have the room that they need for their study time, and everything, and they just are\u2013 they feel defin\u2013 I feel definitely that they would have better opportunities if they could have more space and a little more privacy for themselves.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Now, these are some of the older children that will <em>not<\/em> be adopted to America, and they must grow up in Korea, and they must get their education there, and make their way in life.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Yes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> And they will be at the orphanage until they\u2019re eighteen years of age.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Well, this is some of God\u2019s answer right here. I might <em>explain<\/em> to you, friends, about the orphanage in Korea. We first came back in 1955 and asked you to pray that God would provide the money for a building there, and in January of 1956, I returned to Korea and lived there with Lorraine Jost in the little room that Reverend Jordan\u2019s told you about. I remember very fondly many days and nights there that we prayed for God to give us just the right contractor to construct the building. We had only a limited amount of funds to spend for this orphanage, and we prayed many, many nights that God would bless you people in America who had given, and we prayed for God to raise up new friends to provide all the needs of the children there. And so we constructed this building, thinking only of the emergency need right at that moment, just of a place to cover them and a place to keep them warm, and how proud we were when that building was finished.<\/p>\n<p>And after almost six months in Korea, Lorraine and I stood and\u2013 with some Christian friends\u2013 Christian Korean friends and dedicated this building, and when we left, we saw it full of children. But now, because of the need and because Lorraine just can\u2019t say no to any baby that\u2019s brought to her, some abandoned child that\u2019s sick, and she knows if she says no and that baby is turned away, that that baby will die. She can\u2019t say no, and so, in spite of the limited facilities there, she has <em>continued<\/em> to take children. And now we told her that we would help, and that we <em>would<\/em> construct additional buildings there. We must at least <em>double<\/em> the capacity of this orphanage so the children can be cared for properly, so that she won\u2019t have to say no to any children if\u2013 Lorraine, one of the reasons that you must take these children, we\u2019ve told our friends about a letter that you sent just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons you must rescue these children from the streets who are dying is because of the <em>lepers<\/em>. Now explain to us why uh\u2013 I read that letter, and I know it sounded so horrible, some of our friends that heard it\u2013 why do you uh, want to take these children so the lepers won\u2019t get them? What would they do?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Well, Willie, if the leper would uh\u2013 the superstition, I should say, in Korea is the fact that if they eat young flesh, the leper can be <em>cured<\/em> of his leprosy. It\u2019s definitely superstition, and nothing\u2013 no medical findings to confirm it, and they say that the\u2013 especially the liver of a very small child is the\u2013 the <em>choice part<\/em> that they want. And uh, I\u2019ve heard of people seeing lepers just tearing the limbs of a small child, eating it right on the streets of Seoul. Now, this doesn\u2019t happen often, but it <em>is<\/em> something to consider in uh, this land where there <em>is<\/em> so much superstition, and so much uh, fear of death and all, and certainly we\u2013 we want to teach those children the truth about Christianity so that they might be able to <em>really<\/em> know Christ and live with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie Jordan:<\/strong> Well, Lorraine, you not only take uh, <em>full<\/em> Korean children, but you take Korean children who have been fathered by members of the Occupation Forces, not only United States servicemen, but servicemen from other countries. Now tell us a little about <em>these<\/em> children, why it\u2019s so necessary that you accept <em>them<\/em> into the home and not turn any of them away.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Well, Willie, these children are really kicked around in Korea, they\u2019re not wanted. They\u2019re\u2013 They are our product of war, we might say, but they\u2019re also product of sin and everyone knows it, and they\u2019re children that have no other place to turn but to\u2013 to homes that are open in America and so on, and someone who will take them off the streets and give them a chance. And uh, oftentimes they\u2019re used as money bribes and so on, so that the mothers might be able to make a little more money in Seoul, but uh, they are so needed\u2013 so needing in opportunities to\u2013 to be taken, and that\u2013 so that they can have a home and also uh, find uh, a real love in the\u2013 that the\u2013 only parents could give\u2013 (voice breaks) I\u2019m sorry, Willie!<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> I\u2019m sure you can see how nervous Lorraine is this morning! You see, she\u2019s used to taking care of fifty babies. They don\u2019t have a television set at the orphanage, they don\u2019t have seven channels like we have here in Los Angeles to tune to. They have only one mission there, and that\u2019s to care for these children. And these lights and cameras make you a little nervous, I understand even one lady wrote you who helped sponsor the children, and said don\u2019t be nervous. You see, we brought Lorraine to you this morning to let you see some of the products of your labors and of your gifts and your prayers. And I know that Lorraine is thankful to you. Thank you, Lorraine, for being with us.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Willie\u2013<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> And next Lord\u2019s day, we\u2019ll have you on again.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLorraine:<\/strong> Willie, I do want to thank them personally for all that they\u2019ve done, the clothes that they\u2019ve sent, and the\u2013 the money, and <em>all<\/em> their prayers. Oh, it\u2019s just more than I can really express, Willie, it\u2019s just\u2013 and my heart is just full and overflowing because of what you folks here in America have done for us in Korea.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Thank you, Lorraine. And I know that you in America are thankful for what Lorraine Jost has done, not only for these children that you saw here today being presented to their new parents, but you\u2019re thankful for what she\u2019s doing, for all the children, that are brought to her and to Ginny Suderman [phonetic]. Today Ginny serves there alone, because Lorraine will be here in America for just two weeks, because of the urgent need for the building there. Because the fact that this building must be constructed, the must have additional quarters before winter, Lorraine is returning. She\u2019s been gone from America over four years. She\u2019s in desperate need of a rest. And I\u2019m sure that she would like to enjoy just a few of the luxuries here in America. <em>We<\/em> call them necessities of life. But to Lorraine and Ginny and those babies there in Korea who have so little, our necessities are sheer luxury. But she will not be able to stay here, she will see her father, and her family whom she has not seen for over four years for just two brief days. And the rest of the time while she\u2019s here will be spent in planning for this new building and going over all the construction of plans for the new building. We cannot send Lorraine back empty-handed. I lived with this girl there in Korea for almost six months. I spent day and night with her, planning for the building that she now has there, caring for these children. I have seen her love these children. I\u2019ve seen her stay up night after night caring for sick ones. I\u2019ve seen sick children brought to her ready to die, and I\u2019ve seen the little graves, with the white crosses, the only marker there on a little mound. And you could tell by the length of the mound the size of the child that Lorraine Jost, just a young lady here, a registered nurse sent to Korea, had to bury herself. She has to be a mother and a father, a director, take care of all the business, she has to be a nurse and a doctor, she\u2019s even delivered babies herself without the care of a doctor or delivery room. She also has to bury those that are brought to her too late. But we must not let this happen again. We must provide <em>for<\/em> her and for these children the facilities that she so desperately needs. We told her, yes, we of \u201cChurch in the Home\u201d\u2013 Our \u201cChurch in the Home\u201d family in America <em>will<\/em> respond, we know they will, Lorraine, because they have in the past.<\/p>\n<p>(Organ music begins)<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWillie Jordan:<\/strong> Today you heard from her lips, how grateful she is, you\u2019ve seen these children, who were brought <em>dying<\/em> and starving, and you\u2019ve seen them, healthy, happy babies this morning because Lorraine and Ginny <em>nursed<\/em> them back to health. Will you provide the building that\u2019s so desperately needed to nourish and care for the other children that\u2019re being brought to them every day? Will you today, your family, will you accept the responsibility of just five dollars for this building? Only five dollars. It won\u2019t buy very much here in America, but in Korea, it will help put up the blocks for that building, it\u2019ll help put the tile on the roof to keep these children warm through the winter months when we will be so comfortable here, it will provide a building for them. Will you sacrifice today for this young lady and for the children who no one else loves? That address is Fred Jordan, Box 69, Los Angeles, California. Every dime that you send will return with Lorraine for the building.<\/p>\n<p>(Organ music.
