The Vietnam War, 1961-1975

U.S. involvement of the Vietnam War occurred in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia from 1959 to April 30, 1975. The war, which began as early as 1945, was fought between the communist North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the United States and other member nations of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). American involvement ended on April 30, 1975, when the U.S. Marines evacuated the U.S. Embassy in Saigon of the last diplomatic, military, and civilian personnel by helicopter.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to participate in a short-term missions trip and experience missions work firsthand? We’re here to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
