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 the people here live below the poverty line. That is 2,300 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.
