Greater Bethesda Ministry

The community around Greater Bethesda Ministry

In the few miles around this church, more than 3 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 adults live with obesity. 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.
