Love Of Vietnam Expressed

by
Helping the Poor & Needy

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.

SOME PHOTOS IN JUNE and JULY

OUR LATEST NEWS

Urgent prayer request

Over Danang city currently, we are in strict new social distancing measures again, starting from midnight Monday 27th July until further notice after new community transmission cases of Coronavirus have been confirmed in Da Nang over recent days. Our country had the first 24 people to die from Covid until now, and all of them come from Danang.

The whole city is facing fear from Covid and is now put into lockdown restrictions. Many sections of the city’s major downtown streets have been blocked. The streets are empty and all shops are closed. The people in our city are very worried. We could not feel other nation's struggles and extreme difficulties until our city was locked down after only 3 days and the number of deaths in the city is increasing. Although the number of deaths from Covid in our city is limited to hundreds now and far less than other countries, it is truly a horrible and tragic affair in this place. For the people here, we have just heard and never seen anything like this before in our life.

L.O.V.E’s office must also be closed suddenly for some days and activitie for Book and Uniform Distribution and others in August will be delayed until we get new directives on the social distancing from the government. This is an emergency and a suddeness for us over there.

Please remember us, as everyone else in the world faces Covid in your prayers.

Hong Ngoc recived her outstanding result certificate.

In the begining of July, LOVE staffs beside Nam Phuong visited Dai Loc and sponsored children there to distribute sponsorship and also send some candy as a small gift to them.

Currently, the worldwide death toll has passed 776,000. The number of confirmed cases is more than 21.7 million, according to the map and dashboard above from Johns Hopkins University, though the true number of cases will be much higher.

We need your prayers

Please pray for healing and safety and peace.

Pray that those who have the virus will be healed, and that its spread would slow and be soon eradicated.

Pray that the government agencies would have wisdom and skill in containing the epidemic, and that doctors and nurses would be energized for their work.

Pray for scientists and biomedical engineers scrambling to invent a way to cure and immunize against this new virus.

Medical Mission

We visited three locations in the mountains of Quang Tri at the end of June (before the second lockdown in Danang). During the trip, we delivered 3 medicine cabinets with basic medicines and 3 months supply. We also sent gifts of candies and water bottles to over 120 children there.

We believe that this place really needs both material and spiritual help.

Ha Mi is handing over the medicine to people with pharmacy expertise and they put it together in the medicine cabinets. The price for medical supplies is 100$ per month.

Here are pictures of some people who came to ask for medicine.

Such a complete medicine cabinet can be used for 1 month for a village of 100 people

This trip was especially meaningful for LOVE when meeting, talking and sending to the children some small gifts.

May God bless you and keep you in peace, dears!

Hope to see you again

Medical care is essential for the people children there. And we hope to get able to continue to help and maintain medicine cabinets help.

We Are Looking For A Helping Hand From You

We know about the extreme difficulties worldwide in COVID time and that we hope and pray, that people are still able and willing to help the people in Vietnam like before. Several of LOVE’s programs need your help. Our medical missions and humanitarian missions need money donated to our general fund. Each medical mission trip need $350 - $500 each or at least $1000 for the rest of the year. Our humanitarian mission needs $1500. Donations of $10, $15 or $50 add up. Please pray for what God would have you do.

Or YOU CAN HELP THIS CHILD

The boy urgently needs a sponsor who will support him with $50 a month, and will write and encourage him.

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.

About me: My parents divorced some years ago and now my father has his own family. At present, my mother alone raises my 2 siblings, my little niece, and me. My mother works as a cleaner. She cleans other people’s houses when they ask to earn money. Her income actually is not stable. In addition, due to the Covid-19, she cannot get the same amount like before. Unfortunately, my sister became a single mom and my mother has to take care of her and her baby also. I am in grade 2. My brother is in kindergarten and will move to primary school after this summer. All family’s burdens are more and more put on my mother’s shoulders. Indeed, it is very hard for my mother to cover the family’s daily life costs. I do hope to receive your helping hand so that I can continue on my study road.

LOVE’s note: A family sponsorship is highly recommended.

(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."
