March for Jesus is an annual interdenominational event in which Christians march through towns and cities. == History == March for Jesus began as ''City March'' in London in 1987. It emerged from the friendship of three church groups: ''Pioneer'', led by Gerald Coates; ''Ichthus'' led by Roger Forster; and ''Youth with a Mission'' led by Lynn Green. Together with the worship leader Graham Kendrick, they led a movement which over the next three years spread across the UK, Europe and North America, and finally across the world. Hundreds of smaller marches emerged in its wake. In 1994 the first ''Global March for Jesus'' covered every time zone and involved over ten million Christians from over 170 nations. It is estimated that, by the final ''Global March for Jesus'' on 10 June 2000, over 60 million people in 180 nations had taken part in the March for Jesus.〔(How March for Jesus Started )〕 Although the founding organisation disbanded after the 2000 march,〔 〕 ''March for Jesus'' continues in many countries in multiple and varied initiatives. In the USA, Jesus Day〔(March for Jesus USA )〕 is the day that many thousands of people gather to pray and march in the name of Jesus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「March for Jesus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
