Detroit, No. 2 Highest Poverty Rates in U.S.
The Detroit News recently reported that Detroit has the second highest poverty rate of metropoolitan cities. In Detroit, a little over one-third (1/3) of individuals report an income of LESS THAN $19,350, which is the federal poverty line.
In our neighboring city of Flint, 1/3 of individuals report an income of $17,350. This are not good statistics, church!
If you’re interested in participating in developing our great city of Detroit, restoring dignity and helping people to live in the dignity God desires for His people, come join us!

Interesting article on CNN about whether agriculturally-based fuel is really worth it, when it concurrently depletes necessary food sources for the world’s poorest. Thanks Cristy, for forwarding it!
