Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – In the days before the Lunar New Year of the Horse, the Community Development Ministry’s Spring of Love 2026 program gave 40 Tết gift packages to 40 households in especially difficult circumstances in several villages of Quảng Trị. At the same time, the ministry released lucky-money envelopes to raise funds for its outreach.

Fundraising Lucky-Money Envelopes
In early 2026, the ministry introduced fundraising lucky-money envelopes with the message “Blessing – Peace – Hope,” priced at 25,000 dong for a pack of 10, available at the church’s house groups. Each envelope is both a New Year wish of peace and a gift contributing to the ministry’s work.
“The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it.” (Proverbs 10:22)
Tết Gifts for 40 Families
In early February, the gift packages were carefully prepared and set off for Khe Sanh. Each package included 300,000 dong in cash and a Tết gift set worth nearly 200,000 dong. The material value is modest, but each package carried prayers and sincere care for the families as the New Year arrived.
Local leaders appreciated the partnership, noting that such activities not only provide material support but also give people new strength. Many families were moved and shared their joy; their simple smiles and heartfelt thanks were clear evidence of the value of sharing.
“Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
New Year Thanksgiving
Entering 2026, the ministry gives thanks to God and to all the donors who walked with it over the past year. Quiet prayers and loving gifts became a source of blessing, bringing hope to many difficult situations. The ministry wishes every donor and their family a year full of grace, health and peace in the Lord.
Let Us Pray Together
- For the 40 families who received gifts to have a peaceful and sufficient New Year.
- For many brothers and sisters to respond to the lucky-money fundraiser.
- For the ministry to have more resources for its 2026 projects.
