Love Of Vietnam Expressed

Helping the poor and needy

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.

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 $30 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 Danang.

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 $30 a month or the whole family

for $50 a month, and will pray for them, write and encourage them.

Visitors from USA

About me: My father died recently because of work accident. We own and run a small grocery store in our house. However, it brings not much profit to us, just enough for daily food. So, my family is struggling with financial problems because three of us are at school. We look for support so that three of us have a good chance to have a brighter future and also somehow can ease the burden of my mother. Family members: > Hua Thi Hoc (1971)- Mother > Hua Thi Oanh Kieu (1994)- oldest sister- 12^th grade > Hua Thi Phuong Thuy (2009)- sister-kinder garten LOVE’s note: A family sponsorship is recommended.

(Mark 10:21 NKJV) Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow 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.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please check the information by clicking on child or contact Reggie.
