6. Other things we would like to tell you
You can bring your own megaphones, musical instruments, banners, flags, placards, and star tracts to the parade. It is also OK to bring nothing. If you make your own original placard, you can appeal the gospel to many people. Anyone (non-believers) is welcome to attend. It would be great if as many people as possible could gather and share the Lord's resurrection and second coming. I believe that the Lord wants you to be the heroes of the gospel in the end times. Let's look forward to the Lord!
7. What does it mean to have a parade on Easter?
For the Bible, a parade is a declaration of the Lord's victory, a worship service, and a festival.
Easter is becoming much more recognized in Japan. Now is the perfect time to evangelize the true meaning of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the second coming of the Lord to the 99% of unbelievers by uniting Christians and boldly parading together. Preach the word. "Preach the word, and do it well, whether times are good or bad. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all perseverance, teaching continually."
(II Timothy 4:2)8. Flyer Distribution and Evangelism
After the march, we will spend about 30 minutes distributing flyers at Ebisu Bridge in Namba. If you have some free time, we would appreciate your help with the flyer distribution. After that, we plan to go around the shopping district and do some postering with Easter flyers.
We would be grateful if anyone with some free time could join us (participation is optional).
For those who have flyers, you can bring any that contain information about the church and Easter events.
If you do not have any brochures, we will provide them for you.
