Also, by friendliness coupled with prayer for guidance, you may be able to invite in neighbors and show your interest In them.

Invite them to go to church with you. Ask some of them to let you takeTheir children to Sunday School with yours. It may be that God has placed you in these circumstances lo bear a witness for Him. Do not run away because the situation is hard! Ask God to guide you and give you the strength and wisdom you need. You may be used to change your entire neighborhood.
