Within about a mile of this church, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than 4 in 5 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,200 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.
