The start of something new...

As you may ,or may not, already know I am embarking on an adventure in less then on week, where I will be spending the next year (from this September to the following August) Living in community with the Urban Poor of Houston, Texas. I will be spending my days volunteering at after-school programs, home-less shelters, and many other venues through which I can better live Christ's Love to the community in which I will be living. I am doing all these things through a program called Mission Year (www.missionyear.org). As part of my participation in the program I am asked to try to raise $12,000 throughout the whole year. I understand that times are tough for some people these days and as such I am not asking that you give an overwhelming amount of money (though every little bit helps) I am contacting you to inform you of my plans and hope that you can show your support in whatever way you so desire. ( the occasional prayer shout-out is appreciated as this will prove to be a difficult year for sure.) Thank you in advance for whatever support you put forth, I cannot wait to share with you the experiences I have this next year.
If you so desire you can use this link to send in support. https://www.missionyear.org/launch/isaacrice
I will be updating this as much as I can.
Love,
Isaac
