Los Angeles Bans Christian Rally, But Thousands Expected
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
LOS ANGELES (Worthy News) – U.S. evangelist Ross Johnston said Friday that he expected thousands of Christians to help him preach the Gospel and stand for freedom on Saturday despite the city of Los Angeles banning the Christian rally.
“We found out the city of Los Angeles permitted a Pride festival [of the LGBTQ+ community] weekend on the exact street [at Hollywood Boulevard] that they told us we couldn’t gather,” he explained on social media.
“We knew we couldn’t back down; it’s time for the Church to arise. No more silence or intimidation. These are the moments we are born for,” Johnson added.
After talks with officials and the nation’s “largest law firm,” he said he learned “they made a mistake” as it violates “our first amendment rights” of the U.S. Constitution.
“They gave permission to one organization but not to the Church.”
However, “The city said no, but the constitution says ‘yes’. The culture says no, but the Lord says ‘yes,’” Johnson stressed, adding, “I believe for 3,000 to 5,000 Christians to shut down Hollywood Boulevard” in Los Angeles at 3:30 p.m. local time.
WITHOUT POLICE?
He admitted the situation may be challenging “without the [Los Angeles Police Department] LAPD.”
The standoff came just a week after violence broke out against a Christian rally he supported in the U.S. city of Seattle, where believers expressed concern about what they view as efforts to “indoctrinate” children with the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Mayday USA, a conservative Christian group, brought its #DontMessWithOurKids gathering to Seattle on Saturday, the fourth of five stops on a national tour.
Organizers said the #DontMessWithOurKids movement “refuses to stand idly by while the children of our nation are indoctrinated by liberal, political, and sexual agenda that seeks to destroy their God-given identities.”
It highlights a broader debate about the LGBTQ+ agenda that critics say has been brought to the classrooms of schools and in sports across America.
However, Worthy News observed that the rally also focused on the Gospel, with Gospel singers and crowds enthusiastically singing Christian songs. Johnson made clear Saturday that the upcoming rally is not an anti-LGBTQ+ event but of “Christians and Americans taking a stand for their First Amendment rights” to “worship,” “preach the Gospel,” and “stand up for their children.”
Mass Christian events have been held across America this year, including at universities and on the streets, as part of what organizers view as a possible Christian revival, especially among young people. Similar events have also been seen in Europe recently.
