Ark of Safety

The community around Ark of Safety

Within about a mile of this church, more than 8 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than half of adults live with obesity, and nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
