Church of the Light of the World

The community around Church of the Light of the World

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. About a third of the people here live without health insurance, and nearly a quarter of working-age adults live without health insurance. 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.
