Lockett Memorial Church of God

The community around Lockett Memorial Church of God

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about 1 in 5 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. 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.
