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. |

TEXTBOOKS AND UNIFORMS
LOVE gives thanks to the Lord and
our sponsors for
helping us give out over 250 textbooks and uniforms
to scholarship and sponsored children this year.
Textbooks and uniforms are two essential and vital
items for a student to enter a new school-year. All
children are happy to get them and grateful to the
great help from their sponsors.

TWO GERMAN SPONSORS’ VISIT
Two of the German G4Kids sponsors spent their
holidays in Southeast Asia and visited their
children.
Meetings between a child and a sponsor are always an unforgettable experience for both sides:
From June 21 – July 5, we
visited the beautiful country of Vietnam. In the
beginning, we spent 3 days in Hoi An. We met with
the first of our sponsored children. LOVE’s staff
organized a sightseeing tour together by walking and
boating around the beautiful Hoi An ancient city. In
the evening we experienced the special atmosphere of
beautiful colored lanterns in the enchanting little
streets and we were happy to discover the
absolutely delicious Vietnamese food. It was a
fantastic day!
In Da Nang, we had the chance to watch the
International fireworks competition, but what was
even more important to us was the time we could
spend with our sponsored children.
We spent one afternoon and one day with our
sponsored children. On the first day we met the
younger ones in the afternoon and spent a short time
talking together at LOVE’s office. Then, we all had
a joyful time together at Asia Park and took part of
many games there; a ride on the Sun Wheel also. The
end of the wonderful time was a dinner where we
could impress the last feelings and say goodbye to
each other.
Ba Na Hills was the destination of our second
meeting. Here, all the older sponsored children
joined and we had a lot of fun together while
participating in many exciting and thrilling games.
The
ride up in the cable car was picturesque,
giving beautiful views of the hillside and variety
of central Vietnam. Taking this cable car let us see
greenery all around, the richness of the geography
around Da Nang, trickling waterfalls and streams,
and the ocean shimmering in the distance. It was a
fantastic experience for our students, too.
The French Village on top of
Ba Na Hills is a replicated
architectural work of ancient European villages.
With its cooler temperatures and plantings it gave
the kids a little glimpse of our home.
The day ended with a nice dinner at
White-Boat
restaurant on Han River where we enjoyed a great
view of Danang along the river & dragon bridge and
of course with delicious dishes.
All the children and we sponsors felt perfectly
happy with each other and we thank LOVE's staff so
much for giving us a wonderful time!
It is such a wonderful thing to sponsor a child, it
is even more wonderful to meet each other
personally. We'll never forget and we'll keep all
these fantastic memories in our mind. The people of
Vietnam are very warm and friendly and we hope to
come back to this beautiful place once again.

(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.
