Event Purpose
The UNITE MICHIGAN processions are a grassroots inspired movement that is spreading like wildfire across the nation. The processions offer an opportunity to come together in Christian solidarity to pray, adore and for public reparation. And in doing so, we hope to draw Christ closer to our hearts, allowing His power to break down any and all diabolical stronghold that holds us captive and separates us from His Sacred Heart. For, sin has created deep wounds and divisions within the heart of our nation, communities, and even our souls. Only the love Christ can truly heal these divisions and free our cities, liberate our institutions and bring peace to our troubled souls. We need only to turn and follow Him.
