Ives, widely known as a singer of folk music, joins with the world-famous Korean Orphan Choir to sing these songs of "Faith and Joy".

As he sang he was recalling nostalgic memories of the little wooden church in Southern Illinois where he sang many of these same hymns as a youth ... and later still when he was a lay evangelist, bringing the message of the love of God, through song and words, to audiences in many parts of the United States.

The glow of their faces, and the warmth of their smiles brought the breadth of God's love into our presence as we sang these great hymns.

The simple message of the Gospel so clearly stated in words and music – and so captivatingly shown in the lives of these little Korean orphans – made a terrific impact deep within my heart."
