As a nation, we are always surrounded by negativity in our country and city. We remind our city and our nation that Jesus remains the answer; it doesn\u2019t matter what the situation is. Jesus is still the answer to the solution in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_47b32f86\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/5041\/39ec11c78dea4c7f9ed34075ec544fdc.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1ff9f2cbd4e149008835cf875ce3f78a.jpg\" title=\"The first March of Hope was held in 2015.

We have people in biblical costumes. We try and re-enact that biblical moment. After the march, we have praise and worship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elias says the aim is to spread a message of hope and healing \u201cto our city and to our nation\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have three stops on the march. The first stop is Parliament. This is where decisions get made that affect the country, so we stop there and pray for our government, that God gives them wisdom and righteousness in the way they should operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur second stop is Adderley Street. Here we pray for businesses, that the rate of unemployment drops so that people can put bread on the table. The last stop is in front of the Grand Parade where we pray for people. Telling people that Jesus is there to give you hope.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spreading a message of hope.<br \/>\nThis is the main purpose of the Good Hope
