The community around Saint James Church
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 half of the people here live without health insurance, and about a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,700 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.
