The community around God Witness New Ministries

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. More than a third describe their own health as fair or poor, and nearly a quarter of adults are worried about keeping the housing they have. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
