Ruidoso Word Ministries

The community around Ruidoso Word Ministries

It takes 3.4 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 3 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and about a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and nearly a quarter of the people here live below the poverty line. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
