From the Director

Now summer is past and the 37-40 C temperatures are gone (I hope) and the 33 to 37 temperatures are here. Cooler weather is such a relief as the night time dips to mid-twenties. Hopefully, October to March will see temperatures below 30 and even a few days under 20. October and November usually bring the rainy season that is when things begin to cool off. Now we have a few months to catch our breath before gifts and money for Christmas and Tet (Chinese New Year) begin to come in. This year, Tet is on February 18, so we will not be so rushed between Christmas and Tet.

December is the one time a year when our thoughts are not only on the children, but also for the elderly. Here we try to provide blankets, scarves, and food to a needy area. This humanitarian mission usually cost from $1500 to $2,000. We need many of you out there to send an extra $10, $20, $50 or $100 to our general fund to help us bless 100 or more poor and often alone elderly men and women. At 77 last year, I was the youngest one there.

Visits to student houses

LOVE visited student houses to pray, encourage and motivate them in their studies at the beginning of the new school year. Below, Linh and 2 leaders of the student groups visited the student houses. Many of the students were in classes. All the students were really happy to welcome Linh and the leaders of Christian students group.

All the boys of Daniel House were home.

Follow-up

Here are the pictures of Manh Linh’s repaired roof before the rainy season. From this help, Linh’s house will not have a leak in the wet rainy season again. The repairs were done in about 1 week, and LOVE is happy to share the joy with Linh’s family.

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.

(Luke 14:13-14 NIV)  But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, {14} and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

(Luke 19:8-9 NIV)  But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." {9} Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
