Marcha para Jesus marches across Brazil and Venezuela

Entities: Salvador, Brazil · Pastor Robert Amorim · Paranaguá, Brazil · Coro, Venezuela · Limeira, Brazil

Overview

Planning for the Marcha para Jesus continues to expand beyond the initial municipal coordination in Contagem for the September 2026 procession. After successful gatherings in Limeira (about 10,000 participants) and São Gonçalo in May, the movement entered a broader August phase.

On 8 August, thousands of Christians marched in Salvador, beginning at Largo de Ondina and proceeding along Avenida Oceânica to the Farol da Barra. The same month, Paranaguá hosted its edition on 29 August, launching from Praça da Bíblia and moving to Praça de Eventos with prayers for families, authorities and workers.

Limeira repeated its seventh edition, confirming the event’s sustained regional growth. In Coro, Venezuela, organizers announced a 1 August march for over 6,000 participants, routing through city plazas and providing assistance points for residents affected by recent earthquakes.

São Gonçalo again held a large‑scale march, reinforcing the network of inter‑denominational gatherings that blend music, prayer, and community outreach across Brazil and now neighboring Venezuela.
