The community around Mt. Zion Baptist Church

Within about a mile of this church, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. That is 2,100 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.
