Franklin Graham and Vietnamese churches announce Spring Love Festival in Ho Chi Minh City

Rev. Franklin Graham and Christians from more than 300 churches across Ho Chi Minh City are working together to bring the Spring Love Festival to Vietnam on March 4 and 5. The family-friendly events will feature a life-changing message of hope, and live music from Lưu Chí Vỹ, Isaac Thái, Lê Nguyệt Anh, Naomi, Michael W. Smith, and more. The events, which begin each night at 6:30 p.m. at the Phu Tho Sports Facility, are free and everyone is welcome.

“I’m coming to Ho Chi Minh City at the invitation of local churches that have been planning and praying for years for this opportunity to share the simple message that God loves the people of Vietnam,” said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. “This Good News has the power to change your life forever, and that’s why I’m looking forward to sharing this message of hope with Ho Chi Minh City. I’m especially grateful to the leaders of this country for allowing us to bring the Spring Love Festival to Vietnam.”

Rev. Graham cares deeply for Vietnam and the people of this great country. He has helped tens of thousands of Vietnamese families over the past 20 years by providing critical relief supplies and disaster assistance in Jesus’ Name.

During his last visit to the country in 2017, Mr. Graham preached at a festival in Hanoi where thousands of people heard a message of God’s love. Many Protestant churches across Ho Chi Minh City are now working with Rev. Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to share the same message of hope at the Spring Love Festival next month.

Ho Chi Minh City needs to hear about the love of God. So many people are searching for happiness in life, but they cannot find it. They need to hear Good News. The Christian churches have a great love for the people of Ho Chi Minh City, more than 90% of whom do not know God,” said Festival Chairman Rev. Ho Tan Khoa. “It has been an honor to partner with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for this opportunity to share God’s love. We have been praying for a long time for the festival to take place and are excited that Franklin Graham will be coming to share the Good News of God’s love for all people at the Spring Love Festival.”
