Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 the people here live below the poverty line. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and about 1 in 7 adults live with diabetes. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
