Love Of Vietnam Expressed

Helping the poor and needy

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.

Images for Christmas Past

Christmas is over until next year; it is a new year. How was your Christmas? Who did you encourage? Who did you help? Who did you share God’s love with?

Because of some of you who sponsor a child and who made extra sacrifices to reach out in our Christmas mission, we have Images for Christmas Past, below:

Note: LOVE’s offices will be closed from January 20 – 29 for Tet Holidays

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 $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, 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.

PLEASE HELP

Share your love and faith

These children urgently need sponsors who will support a child for $30 a month or the whole family for $50 a month, and will pray for them, write and encourage them.

About me: We are considered a poor family in the ward. My mother cannot work for her light mental disease (she is scatterbrained and sometimes screams), she can only do house work and take care of my two small siblings. My father is the main labor in family and he transports cement in building sites with unstable income. Moreover, we have to take care of my old grandma who has high blood pressure, so we meet many difficulties in finance. My siblings are also in school. We look forward to your help to cover our schooling supplies as well as school fees.

Family members:

LOVE’s note: A family sponsorship recommended, but any help is appreciated.

(Mark 10:21 NKJV) Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

(Psa 41:1-3 NKJV) Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.
