Love Of Vietnam Expressed
by |
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. |

MISSION TRIP IN HOA HIEP NAM SPONSORED BY MS. LOAN
HUYNH
LOVE gladly enabled to do 2 mission trips before Tet
festival thanks to the donation of two generous
sponsors/donors. Like our previous missions, we
could only give them some basic household items such
as blanket, instant noodles, rice, cookies … but for
the recipients, it meant more than that. It helped
to bring them a happy cozy Tet with families. The
first mission was carried out on February 2 in Hoa
Hiep Nam ward, Lien Chieu district, Danang city. We
distributed 100 Tet gifts to the poorest families
here. |

TET GIFTS
Tet is the biggest annual traditional festival in
Vietnam and the sponsors really want to give their
sponsored children/families a nice cozy Tet by
sending them some extra cash gifts. Some children
spent them on new clothes while others buy household
stuffs for families. Below are some of many photos
of children with big grateful smiles.

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.
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. |

(Luke 14:13-14 NIV) But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
(Prov 31:8-9 NIV) "Speak up for
those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who
are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of
the poor and needy."
(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.
