Truth Church

The community around Truth Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 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 about a third of adults are worried about keeping the housing they have. That is 2,100 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the tables that run short before the month does, and for this church's table to be long.
