"A Heart for the City"

I have a friend here in Houston who is doing something this summer that is not only risky and challenging, but it is life giving and profound. Read below to find out more about what she will be doing. I have created a painting that we are auctioning off to support her trip. If you are interested you may contact me (juliechariee@gmail.com) or Samantha.

"This summer I get the opportunity to bike across the Northern US from Seattle, Washington to New York, New York from June 2nd to July 25th. I get to use a gift that God has given me, the physical strength to ride for a purpose. The purpose of the ride is to raise funds for organizations that bring justice and hope to the lives of people living difficult circumstances across the globe. Our team will travel from city to city stopping at churches and other organizations speaking about some of the realities and injustices around our world. I am very grateful for my friends and family who are supporting, encouraging and praying for me as I prepare for this adventure. I have raised $1030 for the trip, but there is still $3965 needed. Julie has painted a beautiful piece of art which I will call "A Heart for the City." The bidding will start at $200 dollars, but if you don't win the painting please consider helping me take part in this journey.
Thank You,Samantha Gonzalez"
