Roanoke Rapids-Roanoke Vly

The community around Roanoke Rapids-Roanoke Vly

Within about a mile of this church, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. About a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. 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.
