Heard Ame Church

The community around Heard Ame Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. Nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
