ABOUT L.O.V.E.
Love Of Vietnam Expressed, Inc. (L.O.V.E.), is a Christian social service/relief mission. The work began in 1981, serving Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian immigrants arriving into the Pensacola, Florida area. L.O.V.E. (called "S. E. Asian Ministries" at that time) sponsored many families into the Pensacola area, working with many different churches to resettle Southeast Asian refugees.
L.O.V.E.'s MISSION is focused on 4 areas of commitment:
1. Helping children escape the cycle of poverty - Programs & Support include:
a. Scholarships
We are committed to keeping poor children in school by providing scholarships that pay for school fees and supplies.
In addition to a scholarship, Sponsorships provide additional
funds for extra classes, medical insurance, dental care, school supplies, nutrition, clothing, and other needs. It also allows you to build a relationship with a child and family, become an extension of their family, and be an encouragement to them. You will follow the progress of the child and be able to communicate with the child and/or family.
c. Family Sponsorship
In addition to the above, this sponsorship program nearly doubles funding for education, helping other children in a family.
d. Students in Vocational School, College or University
Free or reduced-cost housing needs for those from outside Da Nang, scholarships, sponsorships, house furnishings, gas stoves, fans, and computers.
2. Other Mission Groups
We are committed to contacting, encouraging, and inviting medical and dental teams, church groups, short-term mission teams, and other groups to come to Vietnam and assist in helping the poor and needy here. Contact us for more information.
3. Emergency Aid & Disaster Relief
As funds allow, we provide emergency aid, repair/rebuild homes, etc. We also provide medical assistance to remote villages.
4. Encouraging the People
. . . by demonstrating the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, by offering them hope, by helping them to become a blessing to the country of Vietnam, and by inviting them to church.
We'd love to host 2-3 mission teams each year.
Let us help you to come to Vietnam. (NO FEES ARE EVER CHARGED) – We can make local arrangements for groups or individuals who want to visit/help. Accommodations and food are very affordable. Email us for arrangements. Individuals who wish to stay 3 months or longer may be able to stay even cheaper in a guest house or rented room.
