The community around Word for the World
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is 2,400 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
