CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – Armed with only their Bibles, 14 people recently set out on foot after dark on the streets where the violent prey.
Their starting point was the parking lot at Eastdale Village Community Church on Tunnel Boulevard.
It was just two minutes up the street to where Kenny Hall had been shot to death two weeks before.
“We are not afraid,” said Martha Williams, mother of Eastdale pastor Charolette Williams. “We know that God is with us.”
The group headed in that direction carrying a message of peace and hope, part of an outpouring of effort among Chattanooga churches that has intensified since 10 people were shot – three fatally – during one week in late October.
