Even though it’s difficult right now, in the near future I hope the Gracias Choir will perform with your students and also have overseas performances together. Our choir has many members from different countries. I hope that some students of your college will become our members. So I hope that we deliver together our love and the heart of God to the people all around the world. God bless you.”

“Because the Department of Public & Practical Music in the Ho Chi Minh Music College is a new department, it needs much interest and support.
