Pastor Greg Locke shared an emotional message with his church after the passing of his 20-year-old son, Evan. During Sunday’s service at Global Vision Bible Church, Locke described the deep pain of losing a child and reflected on how the experience changed his understanding of biblical grief, especially the story of King David and Absalom.

The pastor said the difficult season has strengthened his faith and encouraged him to continue helping people facing personal struggles. He also thanked supporters and invited the community to attend Evan’s public memorial service scheduled for May 13 in Lebanon, Tennessee.

Locke explained that a private burial for close family and friends will follow later in the week. Church leaders and support ministers are also expected to attend the memorial to encourage the family during this time of mourning.

A church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is planning to develop 181 housing units for residents aged 55 and older, including affordable housing options for middle-income seniors. Kingdom Faith Fellowship Church is partnering with Scott Crawford Inc. on the project, which will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom units.

According to project leaders, 80% of the homes will be market-rate housing, while 20% will be workforce housing designed to support moderate-income residents. Planned amenities include a fitness room, community space, walking trail, and butterfly garden.

Developers said the church property offers a peaceful environment and aligns with the church’s long-term vision of serving community needs. The project is currently undergoing the city’s rezoning approval process before construction can begin.

Church and development leaders say the goal is to create a welcoming community where seniors can live comfortably, stay connected, and access nearby spiritual support and fellowship opportunities.
