Brown feels confident that prayer and pouring into the East Knoxville community can invoke positive change. "Last week we were under an intense dark cloud, and I think this evening, with the sun shining bright we are beginning to push that dark cloud back and allow the sunshine of God's love and peace to begin to prevail," Brown explained. Pastors that took the mic called for unity and protection. "What affects one ultimately affects us all, and we've got to come to understand that we need each other," Brown said. Top of mind were the A-E students just a few steps away from the sanctuary. Those in the crowd lifted their hands, hoping for a community revival.
