Over a thousand Vietnamese attended Franklin Graham’s evangelistic crusade and responded to the invitation to turn away from their sin and put their faith in Jesus.
Franklin Graham
Last weekend, Franklin Graham and his team booked the Phu Tho Sports facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, for people hungry for God. Thousands came for the two-day Spring Love Festival, with an overflowing crowd.
Vietnam is a communist country. And having the Gospel proclaimed in a comprehensive set inside the country is a miracle in itself. But it would not be possible without the collaboration and teamwork of 300 local churches and government officials.
Before the evangelistic festival, the founder of Samaritan’s Purse met with the Vietnamese government over lunch. Franklin told them, “Even though there are many religions in this world and people have many belief systems, I haven’t come to preach about religion. I’ve come to share with the people of Vietnam how they can have a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.”
Moreover, Franklin led the crowd to pray and bless their government officials. “We stood and prayed together for those in authority as the Bible commands, for all of the leaders in government that God would direct them and bless their country.”
Thousand Vietnamese
The support from the government resulted in over a thousand attendance. On its last night, many run to the front to give their lives to Jesus. “God loves the people of Vietnam,” Franklin said. “And it was a privilege to proclaim that Good News tonight. Many came forward at the invitation to turn from their sins and put their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.”
He pointed to Romans 5:8 for the people of Vietnam. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Let us pray that the surrendered lives will grow to know more of Jesus.
