Jesus troops invade KC
Hundreds of people in the Kansas City area dressed like Jesus in the days leading up to Christmas to emphasize the religious significance of the holiday.
Members of Praise Chapel Christian Fellowship began showing up at their jobs, shopping malls and restaurants wearing flowing robes and crowns of thorns.
“We are just showing people on the outside what we are on the inside,” said pastor Kelly Lohrke, whose church holds services at two sites in Kansas City, Kan., and Lee’s Summit, Mo.
At services on Dec. 14, Lohrke told his evangelical congregation of his plan to dress like Jesus. He then asked church members to come forward if they could participate. About 400 did.
Lohrke has since dressed like Jesus at a Starbucks, a Target store and a post office.
A video of shoppers dressed like Jesus was posted on YouTube. In response, Lohrke said a few churches in the Los Angeles and Portland, Ore., areas called and said they planned to ask members to dress like Jesus, too. See Chick's WHERE DID THEY GO?
