Where Did The Iconic ‘Jesus Saves’ Cross on Highway 41 North Go?

The Evansville Rescue Mission aims to inspire a renewed sense of hope and community engagement, ensuring that its legacy of compassion and support continues to thrive for generations to come.

Evansville Rescue Mission Unveils New Tagline

Evansville Rescue Mission, a cornerstone of community support and outreach, has recently undergone a significant transformation, marked by the introduction of a new ministry-wide tagline, "Real Love. Real Faith. Real Change." The organization's front windows now boast a captivating display, serving as a vibrant representation of their enduring commitment to guiding individuals toward the path of Jesus Christ.

The Iconic "Jesus Saves" Cross

The Evansville Rescue Mission further solidified its presence in the community by rebranding its campus as the "Ernest and Edna Reveal Ministry Campus," previously known as Camp Reveal. As part of this momentous occasion, the Mission's iconic "Jesus Saves" cross, which has long stood as a beacon of hope on US 41 North, will now take center stage at the downtown ministry hub.

This move pays homage to the organization's rich history and legacy, emphasizing its deep-rooted connection to the local community and its mission to provide holistic support and care to those in need. The decision to relocate the cross underscores the Evansville Rescue Mission's unwavering commitment to fostering spiritual growth and uplifting individuals through the message of hope and salvation.

Touching Tribute

In a heartfelt tribute to the late Rev. Steven Perry, the ERM's sixth president, a plaque will be placed at the base of the cross, honoring his pivotal role in overseeing the cross's restoration and placement back in the 1990s. Rev. Perry's profound impact on the organization and his relentless dedication to its mission have left an indelible mark on the Evansville Rescue Mission and the wider community.

Renewed Focus
