| Love Of Vietnam Expressed By Helping the poor and needy
Web page: www.loveofvietnamexpressed.org | (1 John 3:16-18 NKJV) By this, we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. | |||||||

Pure and undefiled religion
(James 1:27 NKJV) {27} Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
Every prayer, every donation, every gift, and every letter is your visitation. Thank you! | Sponsors Needed Right now, there is a needy child living in poverty who is waiting for a caring person like you. We have many children who need sponsors. To see these children or to fill out an application go to our web site by clicking child. Without your help, many of these will not finish school. For just $25 a month you can see that the child you choose will break the cycle of poverty by getting a good education, better food, clothing, and shelter. For more information about these children or an application form, you can also contact Reggie, who lives in Dan ang. Please pray that we can find sponsors for all our children and put your prayers to work by sharing the need with your church, Sunday School Class, civic club, etc. PLEASE HELP Share your love and faith These children urgently need sponsors who will support a child for $25 a month or the whole family for $40 a month, and will pray for them, write and encourage them.. Christmas time Needs Our sponsored children are already receiving Christmas gifts, but nearly 200 children who are not sponsored will not receive any gifts unless we can raise an additional $600 for a modest $3 gift for each. The gift includes milk, noodles, some school supplies, cookies and candy. We are also asked to give gifts to a group of 50 handicapped/HIV children and several other groups for an additional. $400. | ||||||||

Ester’s New House | Elizabeth’s New House | ||||||||
Esther’s House has moved to a larger house which can hold more students. The move would have meant that the students have to pay part of the rent (a big financial burden on the students and their families), but thanks to the generosity of their sponsor, who agreed to increase the monthly donation so that their rent and utilities are provided as well as an emergency fund to help provide Bible study materials and assist in outreach and Bible training camps. | The girls in Elizabeth’s House were forced to move because their lease could not be renewed. Their new house is smaller and more expensive. Please pray for all our houses as rents are increasing for most. We still have 3 houses who need sponsors. Rebecca’s rent is nearly $100 a month, Mary’s is only $40 a month, and Sarah’s is $50 a month. A minimum Sponsorship is $80 a month. All of the students are preparing for outreach during Christmas. | ||||||||
Christmas Plans Loves plans to go to Quang Ngai to bring warm clothes and blankets to approximately 50 families in 2 minority tribal groups, to bring gifts to about 50 handicapped/HIV children in Hoa Cuong ward of Danang, and hold a Christmas Party with gifts to nearly 300 other poor children. If you will help make these dreams come true - email me. | |||||||||

(Psa 41:1-3 NKJV) Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed. | |||||||||
