A Message From Franklin Graham: Festival of Hope Comes to Vancouver March 3-5 at Rogers Arena
VANCOUVER, Feb. 20, 2017 /CNW/ - While hundreds of volunteers make final preparations for the Greater Vancouver Festival of Hope, Franklin Graham has a personal message for the community:
"I'm greatly looking forward to being in Vancouver in a few weeks to share that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. We are excited that 327 churches of various denominations are currently supporting the Festival and that the number continues to grow.
"There has been some recent discussion and debate about the Greater Vancouver Festival of Hope and my message. This event is free and all are welcome, so I hope that everybody will come see and hear it for themselves.
"My message will be the simple Gospel message: a timeless message of God's hope, love and redemption for all people regardless of ethnicity, age or gender identity – Christ died for all. If anyone is searching for answers, wondering if their life has meaning and questioning if they are loved, I will have good news to share.
"Politics, policies, economics and commerce are significant matters, but for these three days we will come together in Vancouver to focus on the most important thing of all: God's love for each and every one of us. We will have all kinds of music with something for the entire family. I look forward to seeing you there."
