The community around The Judah Initiative
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and more than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. 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.
