„May the Holy Spirit use »March for Jesus« as an initial spark for God’s people and ignite a spiritual firestorm that we may go and fulfill the Great Commission. Why don’t you bring a March for Jesus into your city, too? Everyone can organize it! The simpler, the better. For the Name of Jesus has power. Jesus is the Victor!”
Walter Heidenreich

10 supporting aspects for a march for Jesus
- For the march you need a route of about 30-45 minutes’ walk (walking slowly)
- The people will get tired if the route is too long, especially if an evangelization is planed afterwards.
- Choose a route running through the city center, so that a lot of people will see the march.
- For the evangelization choose a central, busy place, where there are a lot of people.
- The march usually must be authorized as a demonstration, procession or an event. This varies from city to city.
- In case of a demonstration, the police will accompany the march. In case of a procession there is no police needed. Own ushers with safety vests are needed in every case.
- The evangelization must also be authorized, as well as the loudspeaker system. This is not complicated, the public offices are usually very supportive.
- An official announced organizer as well as a liability insurance is required, so that everything is insured in case participants damage something during the march accidently.
- A mobile loudspeaker system can be helpful, but is not required for the march. You can sing songs together, call out the name of Jesus, sing in tongues and dance. Everything with joy and out of love to Jesus.
- In order to have the name of Jesus visible for everyone, there are possibilities to print T-shirts, flags, banners or balloons with the name Jesus. There are no limits to creativity here. Especially the 2 meter large flags attract a lot of attention.
- We have printed only the name JESUS on purpose, so that we do not appear with slogans, requirements or the like. Especially this was very powerful and caused a lot of amazement, astonishment and also joy in the population.
- If needed you may get addresses of suitable printing companies from us.
- If possible, an introduction about the vision and how to have a march for Jesus together as a group, is very helpful, since it should be a powerful and meaningful testimony for Jesus. It should not be a walk to discuss something with your neighbor, but also no silent march or a demonstration against something. We are simply and only FOR Jesus! And don't walk too fast, it's not a race.
- When mobilizing churches, it can help to fall back on existing contacts to pastors and networks. A meeting can be very helpful for this. We had such a meeting in Dresden and the best was – besides the march – to pray together in unity. It is very helpful to win the leaders and pastors of the churches for the vision, because the sheep will follow the shepherd. :-)
- Last but not least, the final crusade is a highlight where people can hear the gospel and be saved. Therefore, joy comes forth.
"How sweet are the feet of the messenger of joy, who proclaims peace, who brings good news..." Isa. 52:7 - It is easy to organize such a march for Jesus. So keep it simple! Such marches can be held all over Germany and Europe.
- Therefore, simply post photos and videos of your march on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and elsewhere, because most have heard about it this way and then have done a march as well.
