Church of God

The community around Church of God

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 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. That is 2,100 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.
