ISAAC East?

After serving as East Coast Project Director for ISAAC (Innovative Space for Asian American Christianity) for the past eight years, Milton has decided to launch out on his own. He has always wanted to start his own non-profit. Now with Third Space, Milton will have more flexibility, independence and the ability to concentrate more fully on the local New York and New Jersey area where he is based.
