Hi,

There'll be a March for Jesus in Utrecht, The Netherlands on June 25th. We march
when you in the US are still asleep!!

Paul.

    I have never heard of a March for Jesus in New Jersey/New York Area. 
    Would anyone have any info on that?
    
    In His Love,

    Ottawa, Ontario and Hull, Quebec will be Marching for Jesus. We are 
    hoping for 35,000 to 50,000 people. Last year there was approx. 20,000
    people. 
    
    We will have 35 trucks each with a generator and PA system tuned to 
    either a french or english FM channel. Each truck will have 1000 people
    marching, 500 in front and 500 people behind. The radio station will
    broadcast the music "KING OF THE NATIONS". This was done last year
    and it was fantastic to see so many brothers and sisters in the LORD
    singing and marching for JESUS. One big happy family - one in Christ.
    
    As of May 10th. there are 91 countries confirmed to march with another
    dozen expected to join. 15,000,000 plus are expected to March For Jesus
    in 24 time zones around the globe on June 25th. Hallelujah!!! What a 
    day it will be!

    In Paris, we will march from Place de la Bastille, west of the city
    through all the main historical, governmental, financial, cultural
    quarters (including rue St Denis, the prostitution quarter), up the 
    Champs Elys�es to the opposite eastern gate of the city.
    
    We will march from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Several trucks with a sound system
    will drive along, leading the prayers and songs (Jesus, King of the nations
    is one of them - most songs proclaiming the lordship of Jesus).
    
    The march will be followed by an all-night praise and prayer meeting 
    from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day (while some of you start 
    marching in your cities!).
    
    Let us pray that many will join.  In the Valbonne area, some 40 people
    will go by plane and train.  Many towns have chartered buses.  Two
    years ago, only  3.000 of us marched in Paris.  Let us pray for many many
    more this year.  With the company of angels, I believe we can look to
    be 30.000!   
    
    What a glorious day that will be!  The powers of darkness will surely be
    shaken!  Halleluyah!
    
    Paule 
                              

    Sorry, I mixed my east and west!  
    
    If any one of you are travelling this way and want to join us, the
    march will start Place de la Bastille (subway exit "Richard Lenoir"),
    through rue St Antoine, rue de Rivoli, H�tel de Ville, Beaubourg, 
    rue St Denis, Bourse, Halles, Louvre, Concorde, Champs Elys�es,
    Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, avenue de la Grande Arm�e, ending at
    Porte Maillot (that's "west" of the city!)

    June 25th is the last day of my church's VBS, and we had been planning
    to have an event called "Jesus March"!!! We never knew it was the day
    of MfJ. What a timing! (Don't you love the One who makes this little 
    coincidence?)  ;^)
    
    Anyway, in Torrance, CA, I don't know about a city-wide MfJ, but there
    will be a bunch of little ones marching for Jesus.
    
    Dale

    Praise God for this upcoming event!  I praise Him in the morning, I
    praise Him in the evening.  I praise Him all the day.  Thanks so far
    to those who have entered a reply to the March For Jesus.  Now, if I
    may, I would like to know if anyone out there has strong reservations 
    as to why they wouldn't/shouldn't want to be apart of this praise
    event.  I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms here...eh?
    
    Shalom,
    Richard

Does anyone know the march route of the Boston March for Jesus?

I think it starts at City Hall Plaza, but where does it go?

/john

    Too bad they didn't wait another week, I could march with you folks.

	The Worcester March starts at 9:00 at Institute Park.

	Sorry, I don't have directions...

	Karen

    Hi Everyone!
    
    	The Boston march will start at 10am (that is getting formed into
    the march itself and the march will start at 11am.)
    
    	The March begins at City Hall Plaza and starts on New Cambridge
    Street in frount of Center Plaza. They will march to Tremont Street,
    around part of the Boston Common, in frount of the State House and to
    the meeting site on the common. I hope to see you there, I am a march
    leader this year. I am tall, with glasses and moustash ( and I can't
    spell too good!!). There will be FOUR languages at this Boston march, 
    English, Spainish, Porcgese (Brazil has promised 1,000 people) and the
    official language of Loas.
    
    	Praise His name!

        How's the group at Charlton Baptist?
    
    
    Dan

I hope as many of you as possible turned out today for your local
March for Jesus.  I'm not sure how many people there were in Boston,
but I was carrying a banner in the second group of 250, and when our
group had gone all the way around and into the Common, there were
still other groups coming past Park Street Church.  It lasted from
about 11:15 after Mayor Menino's speech until about 12:45.

There was an announcement that Australia (not sure if this was just
Sydney, or several cities) was expecting 100,000, but 250,000 showed up.

/john

    	The Boston, Massachusetts march was great. There was an estimated
    5,000 Christians out there marching and shouting out His name. I never
    thought I would have the energy to last the whole thing, but the Lord
    helped me through and I left as everything broke up at  about 3pm.
    Several people wanted it to go on longer, I'll speak to the New England
    regional team and see what can be done about that.
    
    See you next year!!!
    Donald
    

What march?  Obviously it didn't happen.  Not anywhere in the world.

There were no articles about it in the Boston Sunday Globe, the Sunday
New York Times, or the Sunday Boston Herald.

Nothing on Monday either.

We are invisible.

/john

But 7500 gays marched in New York City yesterday, and it was on the Globe's
front page.

Sigh.

Paul

    John,
    
    Yes, agree with your comment overall.  But be careful of painting with
    too broad a brush.  Case in point...the Worcester Telegram had coverage
    in Sunday's edition.  Not all papers stick their head in the sand when
    it comes to reporting.
    
    BTW, the Worcester march was great! Organizers expected 4,000.  I'm not
    sure of the actual count.
    
    In Him,

    Gardner march was very exciting!  People came out at all the downtown stores
    to watch.  Parents and kids open windows and waved.  In all, there were 
    approximately 950 - 1000 in Gardner that marched..  After, as people 
    ministered in song specials, and mimes to Carman's the Champion, my heart 
    could not help but to have an overwhelment of emotion.  Jesus in truely 
    Lord!  Its an AWESOME sight to see a dozen or so churches, of different 
    denominations, coming together for JESUS!  I was truely blessed again
    this year by the event!  
    
	In Him, JESUS,
    	Richard

 I saw a brief mention of the MFJ on the ABC news Saturday evening.  Didn't
 get to hear what they had to say as I had the sound on mute..by the time
 I got to the remote to turn on the sound they were on to something else.




 Jim

    I wasn't able to attend the London march, but it did make the main
    Television news here in the UK, if only briefly.

The Boston March organizers videotaped the event and provided a short,
edited video release to all the local TV stations by 2PM Saturday, and
written articles to all the newspapers.

In Boston, there was no parade permit issued until just three weeks
before the event.  The organizers decided that they were just going
to go ahead and advertize the event and proceed on faith that a permit
would be issued.  Last year they were denied a permit because of the
gay pride parade; this year they were initially denied a permit because
of the World Cup.

It has been very difficult, and the organizers are really exhausted.

Subj:   The March for Jesus

To the Editors:

When the Globe arrived Sunday, I expected to find at least a short
article about Saturday's Global March for Jesus, but there was nothing
on Sunday, and still nothing on Monday.

Apparently the Globe does not think it to be newsworthy that in a thousand
cities around the world, five hundred in the United States, and fifty in
New England, millions of Christians of all denominations, Catholics and
Protestants: Baptists, Methodists, Evangelicals, Charismatics, Pentecostals,
and Episcopalians, people from the inner-city and from the suburbs, all
turned out together to sing the Lord's praises.

The Globe doesn't even seem to think it newsworthy that the five or six
thousand Boston marchers were sent off by a short speech from Mayor
Menino.

I don't understand why.

Sincerely,

John Covert

    There were a reported 5,000 in the March in Dayton (Ohio). It was the
    front-page main story. Surprising to see in the historically liberal
    Dayton paper.

    Yep.  Great it was!  Helicopters buzzing around.  My youth group had a
    harbour cruise scheduled for that day for some months, so we got to see
    the enourmous multi-coloured crowd on the Opera House steps...
    
    James

Were there 250,000 in the one Sydney march, or was that all Oz?

I just cancelled my subscription to the Globe, effective immediately.  I will
be writing a letter.

Such blatant bias turns them from reporters of the news to a mere propaganda
rag.

Paul

    .38
    
    Amen!

    In Ottawa, we had 20,000 marchers!
    
    We circled the Parliament Buildings. It was a very positive experience!
    
    Good positive coverage on the news. Not bad for dull Canadians, eh?
    
    Glenn

    There were 50,000 people that marched in Sydney, 7000-10000 in
    Adelaide. Im not sure how many Aus wide.
    
    kym

In Boston, it was made very clear that no banners or other ways of
identifying groups were to be allowed; we were there to identify with
Jesus, not with any particular group.  Also, no literature was to be
handed out.

I understand, however, that in Oklahoma city, groups marched together
and were well-identified.

Did this rule vary a lot from place to place, or was Boston (or OKCity)
doing something different?

/john

    Just heard this morning that there where 147,000 people that marched in
    Canada with 27 cities having not yet reported their counts.
    
    Orval

    John (.42),
    
    The MfJ folks clearly identified in their materials that no groups
    were to be identified.  Good causes, denominations, political causes
    and so forth...didn't make any difference -- none were to be identified.
    The whole point of the march being that One Name was to be exalted,
    proclaimed, praised.  It is/was a celebration for Him! (and not for the
    "save the calla-lily-conservative-bapticostals" if you get my drift...)
    
    Sounds like the OK City folks weren't quite with the program.
