Pursuit Church Announces Interfaith March for Israel at University of Southern California
LOS ANGELES, May 5, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Pursuit NW, under the leadership of Pastor Russell Johnson, is proud to announce its continued commitment to advocating for Israel with the upcoming "United for Israel" rally at the University of Southern California on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 5:30 PM. The rally will start on Exposition Blvd, between Vermont Ave and Figueroa St, and will conclude with a march to the campus of USC.
Following the resounding success of their recent Pro-Israel rally at Columbia University, which drew over 4,500 attendees representing various faiths, the organization has been inundated with requests for similar initiatives to counter the alarming rise of antisemitism on college campuses across America.
Collaborating with Sean Feucht, Let Us Worship, Hold the Line, StandWithUs, and various Jewish and Christian groups, The Pursuit aims to provide a platform for the majority voice in America amidst concerning media portrayals influenced by minority extremist perspectives. Pastor Johnson emphasizes the rally's focus on essential issues, including Israel's right to self-defense, the immediate release of all remaining hostages, and the restoration of lasting peace in the region.
Drawing from past successes, such as the impactful Seattle march convened shortly after the October 7th attacks on Israel, Pastor Johnson brings a wealth of experience and passion to this latest initiative. The Seattle event, in collaboration with StandWithUs and Oregon for Israel, featured distinguished guest speaker Mosab Hassan Yousef, renowned for his courageous stance as the "Son of Hamas."
Based in Washington State, The Pursuit operates as a non-denominational church across multiple campuses, including Seattle, Kirkland, Snohomish, and an online presence. Their mission centers on glorifying Jesus and bringing people into an encounter with the presence of God.
