March for Jesus
March for Jesus is an annual interdenominational event in which Christians march through towns and cities.
The March for Jesus began as a City March in London, United Kingdom, in 1987. It emerged from the friendship of three church groups: Pioneer, led by Gerald Coates; Ichthus led by Roger Forster; and Youth with a Mission led by Lynn Green. Together with the worship leader Graham Kendrick, they led a movement which over the next three years spread across the UK, Europe and North America, and finally across the world. Hundreds of smaller marches emerged in its wake. The initial expectation of 5,000 people was largely surpassed by the presence of 15,000 participants, boosting the realization of an edition of the event.
By 1990, the March had already spread across 49 cities across the UK and also in Belfast (the capital of Northern Ireland), where 6,000 Catholics and Protestants gathered. It was estimated that approximately 200,000 religious participated in the event. The March quickly expanded to the other continents.
The march was established in several countries of the world, especially in France in 1991, in the United States in 1992 and in Brazil in 1993.
In 1994, it was held as a global event, taking place in about 170 countries on the same date with 12 million participants.
In 2019, according to the organizers of the São Paulo march, it brought together 3 million people.
The event's theology has been critiqued for its "emphasis on 'reclaiming the ground' by taking authority over territorial spirits", a concept part of strategic-level spiritual warfare.
In order to gather faithful from various Christian denominations, the March for Jesus is organized by the Church Reborn in Christ, Brazil (with the participation of other Neo-Pentecostal groups), the event brings to the street the churches, which march behind electric trios. With the participation of several states of Brazil, caravans (name designated to groups of travelers, pilgrims) from various places gather. The caravans meet at a certain point and go "marching" to the place where a stage is located for eventual shows, as occurred in São Paulo on May 31, 2018.
