Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – As the Lunar New Year of the Snake 2025 approached, the Community Development Ministry gave 13 Tết gifts for church members in special circumstances in Cao Bằng and Hà Nội. Each gift was 500,000 dong in cash; small, but carrying the love of the whole community of believers.

Faithful Support, Not Only at Tết
Not just at Tết: for over a year, the ministry has regularly given 1 million dong each month to 3 believers facing hardship, as steady support on their journey of faith.
Many people know the ministry through trips to the highlands or flood areas. But caring for brothers and sisters within the family of faith is also an important part of the work, usually done quietly to protect the dignity of those who receive help.
“Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)
An Invitation to Join In
The ministry recognizes there may be more believers in the Covenant family in special circumstances whom the ministry does not yet know about and could support in time. So the ministry earnestly invites everyone to share information about believers who need help, so the church can open its arms of love together.
Tết is a time to look back on the journey so far and to strengthen the spirit of sharing. The ministry believes that when the Covenant family is of one heart, no one will be left behind, and God’s name will shine through concrete acts of love.
Please send any information to the Community Development Ministry or the church office.
Let Us Pray Together
- For believers in special circumstances to be comforted and upheld by God.
- For the church to be attentive to the needs of brothers and sisters around us.
- For the ministry to have more resources to give care in time.
