WELCOME to EVANSVILLE DISTRICT WALK to EMMAUS (EDWE)

The Evansville District Walk to Emmaus was launched in 1993 as part of the international ecumenical Emmaus movement, and has continuously and successfully sponsored Walk to Emmaus weekends ever since.  In 2011, EDWE will be blessed to sponsor its 70th and 71st weekends in March and its 72nd and 73rd weekends in October.

Since our first Walk in 1993, EDWE has       been able to help hundreds upon                 hundreds of men and women learn how to     acquire a deeper and more meaningful         relationship with Jesus Christ, and               become more effective and active               members of the  Body of Christ. The           purpose of EDWE is to inspire, challenge,     and equip church members for Christian       action in their homes, churches, and places of employment, and EDWE has been blessed to be able to equip so many members of the Body of Christ for their Christian mission.  Although EDWE functions under the auspices of the International  Emmaus Program of Upper Room Ministries, it is an ecumenical movement for individuals of all denominations.

EDWE is a non-profit corporation that has been granted tax-exempt status by the IRS and the Indiana Department of Revenue.  It is governed by a 15 member volunteer Board of Directors which includes 3 clergy members.  The Board officers include a Community Lay Director and a Community Spiritual Director who is a seminary degreed clergy member.
