| 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. |

Aiming at creating an opportunity for college students in our Student Houses program to do social work in their summer break, LOVE organized a festive day out. The event was made in a community house in Hoa Bac ward on June 12. Over 100 children were blessed on the day when they could join many interesting games, enjoy good food, receivie beautiful accessories and school supplies and be educated in the children’s rights. All the activities including games, food stalls, gift counters that were prepared and handled by nearly 35 students under the the guidance and supervision of LOVE’s staff. It indeed brought so much joy and laughter to all students and children and left them unforgetable nice memories. When talking to some children, we were given thanks and encouragements to continue to do such significant activities in the future. | |||

(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."
God bless you for your prayers and financial support for the children!
