Pursuit

The community around Pursuit

In the few miles around this church, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than half of adults live with obesity, and more than half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. 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.
