Church of the Transfiguration

The community around Church of the Transfiguration

Within about a mile of this church, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand 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.
