    Dear

    Christian

    Friends:

    Did you know

    that

    today

    one

    billion souls have

    yet

    to hear

    that

    Chris

    died for their sins

    65^

    o f the people

    of

    the world have never

    heard

    what

    happened

    at Cal

    vary. Souls are dying

    at the

    rate o f 100,000

    a

    day. The heathen world is increasing

    at

    th

    rate

    of 400 million each generation. 2,000 years after Christ there are more peopl e wh

    have

    never heard the name of Jesus than there were

    in

    the hour when He was born. In Kore

    there

    are

    approximaetly 2? million people.

    Of

    these onl y one million make any clain whatso

    ever to being Christian.

    I t is this wonderful people who

    now

    call fo r our return. We have engaged passage o n

    freighter, the "Hong Kong Bear"

    of the

    Pacific

    Far East Lines,

    leaving San Francisco

    for Pu

    san,

    Korea

    about

    March

    15' We

    plan to leave

    Indianapolis

    about

    the last

    week i n February.

    Through

    the

    contributions

    of

    you Christian fol ks we have

    been enabled to purchase

    number

    o f

    items

    of needed equipment.

    We

    have two typewriters,

    an

    electronic stencil

    make

    a

    good paper

    cutter, a

    folding machine, an electric powered dupl icator, and several othe

    small items to

    use

    i n publishing Bible schoo l materials, student Bible club study material

    Bible correspondence courses and other literature: we have two tape recorders, one a por

    able

    battery

    powered one

    to use in

    various ways

    in

    areas where there is

    no electric power i

    Korea, which can

    be

    used both for the work in

    Korea

    and to send taped reports to you folk

    i n

    the

    States: we have pictures,

    flannelgraphs,

    study materials o f a l l kinds to use i n

    th

    work with children and young people in Korea, helping them to better und erstand the love o

    Christ

    for them: we are i n

    the process

    of obtaining two

    film-strip projectors,

    one

    batter

    powered to

    use

    i n remote

    areas,

    and

    a

    number o f film-strips, the number depending o n

    wh

    funds

    we have

    a v a i l a b l e

    for

    purchasing

    them,

    (we

    had

    h o p e d

    to

    h a v e

    200

    but

    will not

    be

    a b

    to get all we want and need).

    We

    were fortunate

    in

    most

    of

    these purchases but it stil

    represents

    an

    investment of several thousand dollars.

    But

    there are still other needs.

    We

    need approximately addition to the reg

    iilar

    gifts before we can return. This includes $2,500 fo r

    a

    house deposit for our livin

    in

    Pusan;

    $1,500 for

    our p assage and shipping and $1,000

    for

    the various

    things

    that

    alway

    come

    u p

    in the last moments here and in the

    first

    few d a ys

    of our arrival. WE CANNOT

    LEA

    iintil we

    have these amounts.

    We

    must have

    a place

    to live

    in

    when

    we

    arrive and

    $2,300

    i

    what

    o ur

    Mr. Lee says it will

    take

    to

    rent one,

    as we have explained

    before

    we

    pay a

    l arg

    deposit,

    "key-money", then no rental

    fee monthly and

    receive our

    deposi t back when

    we

    clos

    our rental, the owner loaning that

    money out and

    living on the interest

    of

    5 to I O 5 pe

    month ).

    Our passage and

    shipping

    must

    be paid

    in

    advance. And there

    are

    always

    e ^ q s e n s

    the last few d ays here and the first

    few days in

    Korea that

    had

    not

    been figured o n.

    We must have

    some

    assurance of these amounts not later than February 21 ■ v r ti ich is

    about

    the

    last date w e can cancel our

    passage.

    W e can only

    depend

    upon the Christians

    and churches who

    have

    shown

    concern

    for

    the

    lost in

    Korea

    previously to supply these

    amounts.

    It

    wll take

    some

    large gifts

    to

    make up this total.

    There

    are

    churches

    which

    now support the w o r k in Korea who could

    make

    up

    a

    special

    offering

    of 500 or more

    in

    the next few weeks. Many of yo u could raise 100

    and

    there are few who could not make a

    little

    extra

    sacrifice so

    that

    the lost in Korea m a y

    hear

    the saving Gospel

    of

    Jesus

    Christ.

    W e

    are

    give,

    homes

    here,

    we

    have. Won t

    effort

    N O W

    to

    help

    with

    this

    great

    undertaking?

    The

    children of

    our

    Bible School, all 350 of

    them, are

    anxious for

    our

    return. Th e

    high

    school students, 125

    of' them, in our student

    Bible

    clubs,

    are

    anxious

    for our return. Th e

    correspondence

    students of the Bible, hundreds of them, are anxious

    for our return. Th e Christians who

    the

    work of

    the

    60

    of t hem, are anxious

    for

    our return. Countless

    Joh n wll be remaining here

    W e

    are taking

    him into their home

    so that

    h e c a n finish high school

    at the

    same school

    in June, (Jim is

    One of

    the

    best items of news

    is that three

    of

    our four Korean

    workers

    are now

    fin

    ancially sponsored and there is

    a

    strong possibility

    that

    by the time you receive this

    the fourth one wll be taken care of.

    This

    certainly

    relieves our

    General Fund

    although

    we

    still

    need additional pledged

    funds.

    In

    addition

    to buying equipment, paying for

    passage

    etc.

    it has

    been necessary to

    send from

    300

    to 400

    per m o n t h

    to Korea to keep

    the work going.
