	Love Of Vietnam Expressed By Helping the poor and needy www.loveofvn.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.

(2 Cor 9:7-11 NKJV) So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. {8} And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. {9} As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever." {10} Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, {11} while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
Most of our children will not experience Christmas without our help; please send a little extra for a joyful Christmas. Will you help us give a small $10 gift to all our children? Or if you are a sponsor, you may want to do even more for your child.
Humanitarian Mission on December 15 LOVE wishes to do a humanitarian mission in Tra My District of Quang Nam on December 15. We are waiting for approval from the people’s Committee.

Tragedy of 3 orphan children After visiting Lien Chau’s sister, Nam Tran, today (12 Nov), I would like to tell you about her updated situation. She was moved to another ward for patients who overcome dangerous situations. Her mind is normal and she can recognize everyone. After four times of having her whole-blood filtered, her septicemia is now in control. She is able to breathe a little on her own but is still on a respirator. Her lungs are still weak, as both lungs had collapsed. Until her lungs are better, the doctors will carry out kidney dialysis for her. Her broken pelvis is healing and after her pelvis gets better, the doctors will carry out an operation to correct her need for wearing a colostomy. The hospital fees reach over over $9,600 now (not including four times of whole-blood filtration, at $960 each). Her insurance is expected to pay around $4700. Dantri newspaper has raised $1200 and our supporters at LOVE and G4Kids $1000. With continuing costs, she is going to need at least another $5000. Please continue to pray for her, her sister who had a broken ankle, and their younger brother, Phan Quang Hop, who we have posted as needing a sponsor. Please pray for these 3: The girls for physical healing, and all 3 for emotional and spiritual healing. If you can help financially, let me know.

(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.
