Pursuit Church Announces Interfaith March for Israel at Columbia University

NEW YORK, April 23, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Pursuit Church, located in Seattle, Washington, is organizing a United March for Israel at Columbia University this Thursday, April 25, 2024. Along with the march, the group will lead a prayer and worship session to counter the growing tension and violence occurring on the university campus. 

Russell Johnson, the Pastor of Pursuit, organized a similar march in Seattle shortly after the October 7th attacks on Israel. The Seattle march took place at the University of Washington and was co-sponsored by StandWithUs, Oregon for Israel and special guest speaker Mosab Hassan Yousef, the “Son of Hamas.”

This time around, Russell is joining forces with Eric Metaxas, Sean Feucht, Let Us Worship, Hold the Line, Oregon for Israel, and several others in an interfaith show of support for Israel. Pastor Johnson has been an active voice in Seattle politics for years and has an interesting take on the Columbia University takeover due to his involvement with the CHOP (“the Summer of Love”) takeover in Seattle in 2020.

The Pursuit Northwest is a non-denominational church that has campuses in Seattle, Kirkland, Snohomish and online. They exist to glorify Jesus and in doing so, bring people into an encounter with the presence of God.
