New St Johns Ame Church

The community around New St Johns Ame Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. 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.
