Beacon of Light Empowerment

The community around Beacon of Light Empowerment

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. About 1 in 5 working-age adults live without health insurance, and about 1 in 7 the people here live without health insurance. That is two thousand 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.
