| Love Of Vietnam Expressed By Helping the poor and needy
Web page: www.loveofvietnamexpressed.org | (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. | ||||||||
Official Newsletter of LOVE | May 2008 | |||||||||
A wonderful and big Praise to the Lord | Sponsors Needed Right now, there is a needy child living in poverty who is waiting for a caring person like you. We have many children who need sponsors. To see these children or to fill out an application go to our web site by clicking child. Without your help, many of these will not finish school. For just $20 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, who lives in Danang. 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.

About me: I have no father. My mother had mental problem then she was prayed to heal. However, these days she gets it back. One of my old grandfather’s leg was broken so he has to sit in one place, cannot walk. Older sister and I both are in school. We frankly need a sponsor who helps us to overcome this difficult situation and have chances to keep going to school. Thanks. Family member:
