SOUTHERN INDIANA — Golfers, volunteers, and local businesses recently teamed up on the greens for the 4th Annual SoIN Scramble, turning a day of sport into a major community-wide investment for men’s ministry across the region.
According to Area Director Nate Flynn, the annual event successfully raised more than $9,000. The funds are earmarked to fuel the organization’s year-round mission of strengthening relationships with local pastors, coaching and equipping leaders to disciple the next generation, and constructing local community groups to foster deeper brotherhood among men.
This year’s tournament featured the theme “Playing the Long Game.”
“It takes a long time to build a disciple, and we are committed to helping men grow into who God designed them to be,” Flynn noted in a statement following the event. “The impact doesn’t end when the last putt drops. It carries forward as we steward this investment.”
