" I 'm looking for
Christian couples with enough love and compassion to make a home for abandoned Korean orphans"
NA TIV E PASTOR DESIRES MAGAZINES I received yesterday a copy o f THE KING ’S BUSINESS magazine with a notice that it was the last issue to be sent. I have been reading your publi cation fo r many years. The more I do, the more I realize how much o f a help it is in the work. A friend in Pennsyl vania has sent the magazine to me. I do not know whether this will be con tinued. I want to share with you the fa ct that the Holy Spirit is working in our ministry here at the church. Many men and women have accepted the Lord as personal Saviour, and numbers o f new converts have been increasing week by week. W e do rejoice in that which the Lord has done. May God bless each o f you. Pastor Chawna, Kanchanpur, India KB WORTH FULL PRICE I received your notice that my sub scription to your wonderful magazine is about to run out so I hereby enclose $3.00 to extend it fo r another year.

MRS. BERTHA HOLT, AMERICAN MOTHER OF 1966
W h e n I b e c am e O r e g o n M o t h e r o f 1 9 6 6 , I accepted the honor for one reason: to reach more couples like readers of Kings Business who would consider the needs of abandoned Korean orphans. The honor was followed by teas, receptions, dinners and a big trip to New York for a banquet at the Waldorf Astoria with Mothers of 51 other states and territories. On the way, I stopped at Portland, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis and other cities to greet hundreds of my grandchildren and their proud parents. Tears of joy filled my whole being as I witnessed the marvelous transformation in the lives of orphans who had become loved sons and daughters. And you should see what it does for those couples! O ft e n I t h o u g h t o f m y h u s b a n d , H a rry , and how God had started this work in our home only 11 years before, and of the heart attack that took him from us when the work had grown to where we were placing orphans for adoption in Christian homes in all 50 states. By now, we have placed over 4000. W h e n I w a s c h o s e n A m e r ic a n M o t h e r o f 1 9 6 6 , I was overwhelmed. Again I accepted with thanks to God and prayer in my heart that it might help me reach many Christian couples. Honors poured in from every where. I met many of the world’s famous people: governors, statesmen, the Vice President, and finally, President Johnson. I told him I prayed for him every morning at 5:30. He thanked me. I showed him a picture of my family. He said it was a fine family. How thankful I was. But I am equally proud of my 4000 grandchildren, and the hundreds of Christian couples who have opened their hearts and homes to them. ( See “ 1966 Mother of the Year” article in Power Magazine, Dec. 10, 1967.) We’re not looking for just any home for these little ones. We’re looking for Christian homes where they can find the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. That’s why we are appealing to readers of Kings Business. You, dear born-again friends, are the kind of folk that can really help them. Will you think about it— pray about it— and write us? While we care for hundreds of boys and girls in our Korean orphanage, our greatest concern is to find Christian couples who will open their homes to them. We’ll be glad to send you more details on how the adoption program works— at no obligation to you. May we hear from you soon? Mrs. Bertha Holt
