The community around Purpose Church
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third of adults are worried about keeping the housing they have. That is 2,400 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.
