Iglesia Christiana Bethsemani

The community around Iglesia Christiana Bethsemani

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 2 in 3 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 4,900 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.
