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.

January 2021


As 2020 has ended, it’s truly a blessing that we made it through that year. No doubt, this past year has presented us with many challenges, but honestly, at the end of the day, we can be thankful for the many good things that happened along the way. There is a hymn we learned in church titled, Count Your Blessings. The first verse says, “When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.” The words still ring true to us today. When we focus more on the positive aspects of our lives, God’s blessings begin to reveal themselves more vividly than ever. Indeed, in the past year, with the crisis from epidemics and natural disasters everywhere, it seemed that all our activities would be reduced. But on the contrary, we have received more helps, and we could give more. How grateful we are to God for the faith and to our sponsors for their generosity. Dear readers, stay positive, and be confident that our future is brighter than ever before. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities that await us in 2021. May the divine light of Christ shine in your life this new year. Happy New year to you!
CHRISTMAS MISSION TRIP *700 pairs of sandals to children at BA TANG* *nursery and primary schools* *& Christmas gifts and foods to 500 Bru ethnic children*
After our visit to the Ba Tang Preschool in Quang Tri Province in October, with your support, we have come back to there with 700 pairs of sandals for the children

			Here are pictures of some of the classes in Ba Tang preschools receiving sandals. Now their bare feet do not need to be afraid of the cold floor anymore.

Primary school students with sandals just got. Look into their eyes, you will see how much these pairs of sandals mean to them in this really cold weather. And that makes us learn that small things are also very valuable somehow, somewhere.

In the bustling atmosphere of Christmas, we continued our journey to Bru children in the highlands of Quang Tri province to bring a little warmth of the Christmas season to this cold place. With the help of our sponsors, LOVE was able to give small gifts and some foods for more than 500 Bru ethnic children in several different places where we used to visit, and support medicine cabinets.

Christmas gifts		Foods for mall parties		and puppet show about Christmas story

Foods and gifts which are seem to very simple , but litte can make our little ones feel so happy.

Thank you for all your support, so that we could fulfill this mission

Small Gifts to Neighbor Children at L.O.V.E Office & Visiting to Dong Giang, Kon Tum

We saw the happiness on their faces.

In the past recent months, our staffs have visited some new places near Da Nang, in October we went to Quang Ngai, and now to Dong Giang and Kon Tum. We recognize that children in these areas, in addition to their food needs, are in need of sponsorship help…..

Dong Giang – Quang Nam province This place is still very undeveloped			Dak Glei - Kom Tum There are many children here happily enjoyed the spirit of Christmas even it was early

(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!
