Send Relief Serve Tour in Evansville, Ind., plants seeds for long-term ministry

EVANSVILLE, Indiana — Pastor Steve Brown had his doubts. When a fellow Evansville pastor invited him to help lead a grill walk — an outreach event combining food and gospel conversations — he wasn’t even sure what it was or what to expect.

But May 2 in Evansville, standing in the middle of a public housing complex with boarded-up homes and barefoot children, all those doubts melted away.

His team had come to serve burgers and share the love of Christ. What they found was a neighborhood aching to be seen.
