Saturday’s violent actions failed to deter Christians from attending Sunday’s worship service. However, Antifa attacked worshippers as they left.
Thousands of Christians gathered in downtown Portland on Sunday at Tom McCall Waterfront Park to attend Pastor Sean Feucht’s “Let Us Worship” service, one day after Antifa attacked a group of Evangelical Christians congregating for a prayer and worship event at the same location.

Video recorded at the scene on Saturday showed children and families running away as black-clad Antifa militants tore apart the sound equipment and assaulted attendees with pepper spray and projectiles, including minors.Saturday’s violent actions failed to deter Christians from attending Sunday’s worship service.
“Help me GIVE THANKS to our security team (half of them here) tonight in Portland. These are all ex-military, ex-police, private security and most importantly LOVERS OF JESUS and freedom,” Pastor Sean Feucht said in an Instagram post on Sunday.“If you mess with them or our first amendment right to worship God – you’ll meet the ministry of laying on of hands,” Feucht added, sending a warning to individuals that plan to disrupt the event.
During the service in Portland on Sunday, black bloc Antifa militants showed up but failed to disrupt the event as they were far-outnumbered by those in attendance.“Though Antifa is surrounding us on both sides working to intimidate, God is setting people free!! KEEP PRAYING!!,” Feucht said in an Instagram post.
