More than two thousand people gathered and marched in the Jesus March Revival 2023 in Santa Monica, California on Saturday.
The Jesus March, organized by United Revival, is a celebration and an opportunity for Christians to come together to publicly express their faith, which is especially needed in these challenging times. Christian rock band “United Revival” performed for the crowd and shared testimonies of how their faith has impacted and transformed their lives.
Gateway Pundit has reported on other powerful, public faith gatherings in recent weeks, including a chapel service that began on February 8 at Asbury University in Kentucky and is still ongoing.
Patch Report:
Waving flags saying “Jesus is King,” 650 Christians marched along the beach bike path to the pier Saturday in an event fueled by revivalism.
“This is not a protest,” said Vadim Semenchuk, a coordinator for United Revival of Sacramento, which staged the event. “We are here to proclaim the name of Jesus.”
Drawing smiles, smiling and looking in awe at the walk more famous for its flashing flesh, the congregants first worshipped, prayed and preached on the grass next to the beach on Barnard Way, before heading to the pier with chants of Jesus.
United Revival began holding outdoor revival events and marches during the Covid-19 pandemic as riots gripped America over racist police brutality.
“When the world was protesting and rioting, we were like, why doesn’t the church go out and proclaim the goodness of Christ,” said co-founder Ivan Katreniak. “The whole goal is to rally the church. As Joshua took the cities (in the Old Testament), we are doing it here today and exalting the name of Jesus.”
This year’s March for Jesus will be held in Phoenix, Dallas, Tampa, Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Francisco and Sacramento, where United Revival is based and is building a local church around the North Island.
TGP reader Tony Passarella shared photos of the beautiful and uplifting ceremony.
