The City of Fresno suffers as one of the worst cities for poverty concentration in the nation. Of the 500,000 residents from around the globe that inhabit Fresno, 28.2 percent live under the national poverty line. Moved by the city’s statistics, organizations gather together to attempt to mobilize the community for action.
During the Discover Fresno event, Pastor at Image Church Jason Spencer spoke about prayer and involvement during his keynote speech, Feb. 8.
