YANGON, Myanmar — More than 170,000 people in Myanmar heard the gospel during a three-day festival led by Franklin Graham, according to The Christian Post.
About 7,600 people made decisions for Christ over the course of the event Nov. 18–20, the majority of whom had never been inside a church building before, according to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
It was the first event of its kind in the Buddhist-majority nation.
On the first night, Graham preached about how one can find forgiveness in Jesus Christ and that He died to save men from their sins. As many as 46,000 people attended the revival rally on the opening night and 2,500 responded to Graham’s invitation to come forward and accept Christ.
“I am so thankful that thousands of … people in Myanmar have responded to the invitation to ‘come home’ and trust Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of their lives,” Graham said. “I thank God for working and give Him the glory. We know there was great celebrating in heaven over each one.” (TAB)
