Mi Casa Es Su Casa

Many years ago, my late husband, Fred, hung a wrought iron sign over the entrance to our home that read, “Mi casa es su casa.” Literally translated, it means, "My house is your house."

From the beginning of the history of God’s people, He instructed them that one of the duties of the righteous was hospitality, the willingness to welcome people into your life and your home who don't ordinarily belong there.

In the New Testament, Jesus Himself taught that our acts of kindness show our relationship with God: "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me."

Since 1944, Fred Jordan Missions has welcomed lonely, rejected families and children here on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. No one is turned aside, for Jesus was clear that when we welcome and feed and clothe the stranger, we are caring for Him.

Here at the Mission, I often say we are in the hospitality business. We open our doors and open our hearts to the stranger in need, and to the wanderer in distress.

Please open your heart to the stranger in need by calling toll free, 1-844-FJM-FOOD. Use a major credit card when you call or donate on our website, FJM.org. Please help the wanderer in distress.

Join my family and me, from the streets of Skid Row, every Sunday morning at 8am, KCOP-TV Channel 13.

Blessings,

Willie L. Jordan (Mrs. Fred Jordan)
