STUDENT HOUSE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM |
| |
Hundreds of students from families in the countryside come to DaNang City for studying at college or university every year. They meet difficulties in housing, daily needs, study and living environment. |
Besides providing homes for poor Christian students, L.O.V.E. also has programs helping the students to mature in faith and character in a Christian family where they are trained and experience real fellowship. We welcome non-Christian students to come here to study. In God’s grace, we hope more student housing will be opened in future. |

The minimum cost to sponsor a student house is $80. ** |

It is among these university students that we believe the future of God’s Church in Vietnam rests, therefore we are committed to help with their housing needs, training and mentoring. Most of these students will be actively involved in several outreaches a year, both in Da Nang and other cities, to reach out to others in the name of Jesus and also to attend summer work/study camps, etc. |
Where rent is higher, we may ask the sponsor to voluntarily increase from $80 to $90 or more. This is not required, but allows us to start a reserve fund to help the students with all these activities and for emergencies: repairing computers, furniture, health care and other needs. |
We also need computers for several of our houses to help students to study the training material, university courses and English better. One desktop is $300 for most houses, but in a house where the students are studying IT, engineering, etc., it may require a better CPU and increase the cost to $500. |

Donation | Explanation | Options | Goals | 70% goes toward the rent (The rent on our houses vary from $40 to $107 at present | If this does not cover the total rent, the students equally share the difference. If this amount exceeds the rent, the excess amount will be placed into the student house reserve fund. | The sponsor can increase the donation to relieve the students' financial burden if financially able. The sponsor can also raise money through church, church groups, work place, civic clubs, or individuals to meet these needs and to help other students and/or student houses. Some of these students are so poor that we also try to find sponsors to provide a scholarship or sponsorship for individual students. | Our goals are: To relieve the financial burden of these students and their families so they can focus on their studies and faith in Christ. Provide a home away from home where these students can mature in faith and character.
Provide a sponsor who has the opportunity to encourage these students in their studies and faith.
| 20% goes to the housing reserve fund | This money is used to buy fans, beds, desk, provide money for a scholarship for summer faith camps, outreach, etc. | 10% LOVE administrative fee | To provide for salaries for staff workers and office needs. |

At present, we have the following sponsored houses: | 
|
Timothy's, Jacob's, Trung Lap's, Daniel's, Peter's, and Rachel's Houses. |
Please contact Mr. Reggie if you would like to help sponsor a house. |
| |
Other needs: |
At present, rent on the houses vary from $50 - $110 per month, which we expect to increase even more. |
Utilities cost another $6 - $10 monthly. |
We also try to provide each house with a gas stove, fans, beds, a computer and desk, and other needs. |
When the sponsor is able to pay extra, the money will go into a reserve fund to be used to provide training, and funds to help them for outreach, “educational trips”, emergencies, and medical needs. For example, some of you helped to provide scholarships to 55 students to attend summer camps to meet with other students from all over Vietnam to share and learn together; in addition many go to poor communities to conduct children's Bible schools and various outreaches in other communities. |
These students will be better prepared to serve their country and their Father. For more detailed information, contact Mr. Reggie |

**There is always a need in all the homes for desktop and laptop computers.** |
