Mount Zion CME

The community around Mount Zion CME

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. About 2 in 3 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than a third of the people here live below the poverty line. 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.
