Bear Swamp Church

The community around Bear Swamp Church

Within about a mile of this church, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about a third 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 households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
