“If we want to touch the world, there is one condition: it is to love each other as Christ loved us,” said Pastor Jean Luc Trachsel who delivered a message near the Eiffel Tower.
The massive gathering of believers across Paris on May 25th reportedly broke record participation when attendees gathered together to “bear witness publicly and in unity” about their faith in Jesus Christ.
A coalition of ministries organized the event which took place in Paris and four other cities including Lille, Nantes, Metz and Strasbourg.

“We opened ourselves to the entire evangelical Protestant spectrum thanks to the participation of several churches such as MLK, Hillsong, ICC, but also Baptist, charismatic, and more traditional Protestant churches.

According to the “March For Jesus France” website, the first such march took place in Paris in 1991 and was later organized in smaller cities.
