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.

Sponsors Needed
Sending to you who
are reading this Newsletter. We know about the extreme
difficulties worldwide, especially during COVID time.
We keep all of you in our prayers. And we hope and pray that
you are still able and willing to help the people in Vietnam
like before.
Right now, there is a needy child living in poverty who is
waiting for a caring person like you. We have many children
and student houses who need sponsors.
To see these children and student houses or to fill out an
application go to our web site by clicking
child or
house
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.
PLEASE HELP!
This child urgently needs sponsors who
will support the whole family for $50 a month, and will
write and encourage them.

Please Sponsor me!

About me: There are 4 people in my family - my parents, my younger
sister and me. My parents are both disabled
since childhood. Our whole family is living in a
small rent room. Every day, with the bikes for
the disabled, my parents ride around the streets
in the city to sell lottery tickets. That is how
my parents earn money to cover all costs in the
family. I have a small sister, and my parents
have to send her to kindergarten also in order
that they can work. The birth of my sister is a
big joy to our family but it is also a big
concern for my parents. I really look forward to
your helping hand so that I can have a chance to
study like many of my friends.
