March for Jesus
Extravagant expression of Prayer and praise
EXETER - The March for Jesus is an expression of
new vitality among Christians. It is an event which
is capturing the hearts and minds of many people
in the nations all over the World. It is a vehicle for
calling God's people to take to the streets, sim-
ply to exalt Jesus. Why bother with a march??
How can a Christian remain silent, when
Christians throughout the rest of the world
are shouting out the Love all Christians share.
It is not a parade, rather it is an extravagant ex-
-- - pression of Prayer and Praise and a visible procla-
mation that Jesus Lives! Why bother? Rather ask; How can
I not join it!
In the early 1980s the first marches were held in England, that time
an English musician Graham Kendrick began to write "make way
marches" one familiar song is "shine Jesus Shine".
The first major march was held in London, England in 1987. The or-
ganizers had hoped to see 5,000 people. On May 21 1987 15,000 Chris-
tians marched, for 1988, 60,000 participated. 1989 September 16,
200,000 Christians across the UK showed their unity. May 23, 1992
Christians around the world, hundreds of thousands of them, all
marched for Jesus. In Canada 18,000 Christians marched in some nine
centres. June 25 1994 over 173,000 Christians in Canada from 200
towns and cities from St. Johns, Newfoundland to Victoria, B.C. from
Windsor, Ont. in the south to Yellowknife in the north. With only si7.
months of planning, Latin America captured the hearts of almost four
million Christians.
Throughout the world Christians wanted to be a part of celebration.
Now also the Christians in our arca want to be a part outpouring of uni-
ty in their love for Jesus.
A number of churches have decided to organize a march right here in
Exeter. The year 1996 was chosen because not enough time was availa-
ble to organize a march for this year. May 27, Saturday morning at
10:00, many Exeter Christians will be marching for Jesus in Stratford.
