“We thank God for the people who had this vision.”
Quotes from the Greater Vancouver Festival of Hope Launch Event
There’s power in the Word of God.
Will Graham, evangelist at the
Festival Launch dinner
I’m an evangelist, I have
a heart for this region,
and I’m super grateful
to the Billy Graham
organization [for the
Festival of Hope].
We need the help.
“Vancouver Needs Hope”
There was a buzz of excitement as almost 1,300
church leaders and lay Christians attended the
Greater Vancouver Festival of Hope launch events
on March 31.
Kevin Cavanaugh, senior pastor at
Cedar Grove Church in Surrey
The Billy Graham Association is a God-anointed
ministry and I support anything that proclaims
Jesus. I’m excited to see Greater Vancouver
churches partnering like this.
Norm Funk, lead pastor at Westside Church
in Vancouver
We are so excited about the
Festival and we thank God
for the people who had this
vision for Vancouver.

Next year will be an event that we
should not miss. It will create an
atmosphere that will generate
momentum and enthusiasm for
evangelism.
Ministries like the Greater Vancouver
Festival of Hope require significant
financial support—for the three nights of
outreach at Rogers Arena and also for
the important training, discipleship, and
community outreach phases. Becoming a
financial partner will ensure that as many
people as possible will hear the Good
News or be trained and equipped to share
their faith in Christ. To make a donation,
please visit FestivalOfHope.ca or call
1.800.293.3717.
