On January 31, some of LOVE’s staff will be in Quang Ngai Province with a medical team from Danang Churches. We will report on this next month. |
Feburary 19-20 is Tet (Lunar New Year) in Vietnam. LOVE offices will be closed from February 16 – 25 as this is a state holiday. Millions of Vietnamese will travel to visit families, including thousands flying from the USA and many other countries around the world to Vietnam. Pray for safety for all and especially for Christians to carry God’s message of love and salvation. |
Sponsors Visit Mrs. Angelika and her husband had 2 afternoons with their sponsored children and LOVE’s staff. On the first afternoon, time for getting to know each other, the couple spent some hours with children at LOVE’s office, talking and playing games with them. The second day was really a fantastic one when they and the children had a tour around Da Nang. The trip started from the office, then they were taken to the children’s school, then visited the Museum of Cham Sculpture. Lunch was at the “Banh Xeo” – a Vietnamese fried pancake restaurant. Afterwards, they had lots of fun playing games, shopping in the Big C mall, going for a stroll and taking some snaps at Dragon Bridge, then having a tour on the Sun Wheel. The awesome day out ended nicely at the cozy pizzeria, where the couple could enjoy the last happy time with children and saying goodbye to them. The sponsors were so kind and everybody had wonderful memorable moments. |
