Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – In June 2026, the Community Development Ministry joined the Study Promotion Association of LB commune in giving notebooks to encourage 24 outstanding Bru-Vân Kiều students at the end of the school year. The gifts were worth 2 million dong in total.

A Small Gift at the Right Time
It was not a big gift, and it cannot solve all the difficulties on these children’s learning journey. But each notebook carried a word of congratulations, recognition and hope for what they have achieved.
Seeing their eager eyes and innocent smiles, the ministry team realized that encouragement given at the right time can become the motivation for a child to keep trying. What these children need is not only material help, but also the sense that their efforts are seen and valued.
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Mark 10:14)
Like Five Loaves and Two Fish
The ministry knows it cannot change every hard situation. But like the five loaves and two fish in the Lord’s hands, what matters is not how much we have, but whether we are willing to offer what we have for God to use for the good of others.
This activity continues the ministry’s support for education in Bru-Vân Kiều communities, from scholarships, TVs and computers to school uniforms over the past years.
Thank You
The ministry thanks the Study Promotion Association of LB commune for the opportunity to play a small part in encouraging these students. May God keep opening the way, providing resources and moving many hearts to join in, so that even more students in remote areas can be supported.
Let Us Pray Together
- For the 24 students to keep studying diligently and doing well.
- For the teachers and the local study promotion association to be strengthened in their work.
- For the ministry to have more resources to invest in young people in hard-pressed areas.
