English term or phrase: church people
For 4 months I had no contact with the outside world but different church people would come in and leave Bibles or try to help with clothing.

Je n'arrive pas à trouver un terme qui convienne. Les gens de l'église, ne me convient pas vraiment.
Merci de votre aide.
