The streets of Brasilia, Brazil, were painted blue with the presence of a multitude of young people wearing their characteristic polo shirts from the Young Maranatha Convention, on the afternoon of Saturday, June 1, 2024.
An impressive car with speakers carrying young singers guided a two-kilometer route while the young people walked, singing the event's theme song and other praises. This allowed them to show their faith and announce Jesus's soon return.
The peace walk promoted belief and trust in God, as the Only One who can put peace in troubled hearts in the face of their daily and everyday struggles. “Talking about peace is a very complex concept, but the true peace we need is what only Christ Jesus gives us,” comments a participant from Uruguay.
Upon arriving at Buriti Square, in front of the Federal District of Brazil's government headquarters, the participants raised their flags of their respective countries and raised a prayer for the nations, an act that was admired by the authorities. In addition, a message about the coming of Christ and songs that motivated belief and trust in God were presented.
“The main message of the peace march is to make known that we believe in a living God, that our faith is based on the Bible, that we are preparing to meet Him and we want others to also have this hope,” said the Pastor Paulo Prazeres, organizer of the activity.
Additionally, each young person received one or two different Bible verses and joined their voices by reading the entire Bible together in 20 seconds.
