Light & Life Isla Vista Church

The community around Light & Life Isla Vista Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 6 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 2 in 3 the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults say they are socially isolated. That is 2,600 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.
