Support

As part of the year of service I recieve a small stipend for food, gas, and other essentials.  I am required to raise a minimum of $3,000 to support my stipend.  The work exposes me to lots of different people of different income levels, backgrounds, races, religions, and can create some stress as we think about the hard questions on what it really looks like to live like Jesus would in today's society.  Support through prayer, encouragements, and money is always appreciated.

Each Little Rock YAV gets $70 per month for food which we pool together for groceries.  We also get an additional $200 per month for gas, toiletries, clothes, and other essentials as needed.  The camp provides housing, utilities, furniature, kitchen supplies, and just about anything we need like clotheslines, a piano, carpet, books, hiking trails, games, bikes to use (it's a pretty sweet set up).  As you can see, even though we live simply without much money it costs much more than $3,000 for the program to support me for the year so every little bit helps sustain the program.

If you would consider supporting me please just simply pray for the YAV program, for our work, and for justice for God's people, God's people, and God's creation.  And please keep in touch.  If there is anything I learned from my preivious YAV year in Boston, it's how important relationships are, and how quickly and unexpectedly life can change.  I like hearing from you and I appreciate you reading about my time here on my blog.  Please write, E-mail, give me a call or send me a postcard to let me know how you are doing.
