Hundreds of Thousands March for Jesus in Brazil: Hailed as One of the "Largest Gatherings of Its Kind"Andrew Palau's father, the famed Latin evangelist Luis Palau, was originally invited to share the Good News at the event in Brazil. Due to his recent stage IV lung cancer diagnosis, he was not able to make it to the event but was overjoyed to have his son Andrew take his place.
Organized by the local evangelical community and supported by hundreds of local church congregations, the event built off of 25 years of similar marches and rallies. This gathering in Sao Paulo grabbed the attention of the entire continent and brought the Gospel to millions through the live event and surrounding media. Coming at the end of an 8-day transportation strike that paralyzed the city, the organizers overcame numerous challenges to accomplish the historic event. Starting at 10:00 a.m. in the morning on May 31, ten massive semi-trailers equipped with sound and stages led the crowd in joyful celebration on a 3-mile march through the city. The crowd increased to several hundred thousand as the parade progressed, eventually filling many city blocks of the 8-lane boulevard near the Praca Campo de Bagatelle park where a massive stage had been built for the evening festival. A variety of musical artists performed throughout the night, culminating with a clear Gospel message from Palau. "To see so many people marching in unity of their dedication to follow Jesus together—it was truly unbelievable," said Palau. Focusing his message on John 10:10—"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"—Palau ended his message with a clear call to faith and repentance. The sea of hands that rose in affirmation to his call was evidence of the impact of the Word. He went on to imploring those who had publicly confessed Jesus Christ to dig into Scripture, get their roots deep into a local church, and pursue God daily. The local participating churches will work over the next several weeks to connect with and disciple those who made decisions. During Palau's time in Brazil he also gathered with local pastors, church leaders, and evangelists, encouraging them in the Word, focusing on continuing in unity, and inspiring them to keep evangelism a top priority. Palau's father, the famed Latin evangelist Luis Palau, was originally invited to share the Good News at the event in Brazil. Due to his recent stage IV lung cancer diagnosis, he was not able to make it to the event but was overjoyed to have his son Andrew take his place. March for Jesus continues in many countries through multiple and varied initiatives. It continues to gather the largest crowds of any organized event of its kind throughout the world. "The March for Jesus is an international and interdenominational event that occurs annually in several nations," local organizers state. "In it, the Church has the opportunity to show that it is not restricted to buildings, but alive and open to the whole of society."
