Gateway to Heaven

The community around Gateway to Heaven

Within about a mile of this church, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. 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.
