23 Child Prostitutes rescued in King County
Sometimes, I get to post videos that I have fun making.
Today is not one of those days.
While there is good news: 23 girls in child prostitution (one as young as 12 years old) have been taken off highway 99 into custody.
The bad news is, firstly, they were in those circumstances, and secondly, "For the third year in a row we've led the nation, which is a good and bad thing," said Steven Dean, Assistant Special Agent in charge of the FBI's Seattle office when referring to the King County Area.

Here's the video:
That section of 99 is walking distance from where Jubilee practices. The problem is in our backyard! Stories like this make me more thankful for everyone doing their part to crack down on forced prostitution, and motivates me to keep doing mine.
If you're moved for these girls and others in their same situation, pick up a pen and write your senator, or check out our page about this cause for more information.
Much love,
Steven

Return!
We got back from playing the University of Wyoming in Laramie two weekends ago, but I'm not sure we've really gotten back. You know? I may only be able to speak for myself, but we were so well received and taken care of, the thought crossed my mind of staying for longer. Not to mention, one of the guys Jonny and I stayed with did a backflip on a slackline, and another one climbed 18 mountains over 14,000 feet. All this summer. Yeah.
There were so many people interested in starting an IJM Chapter at UW, we couldn't have been more pleased. I was amazed in all our discussions to see people's heart for justice in our day. It's a worthy cause, no doubt, but any time we're allowed to see real passion, especially passion for the freedom of others, it's a beautiful thing. And my, this weekend was.
Here's a video of 1. A tragic accident at the airport. and 2. Curtis and Grace's baby Harper on her 5 month birthday, overcoming an obstacle that she had never before encountered. Behold.
Oh, and The Betty's (our hosts and musical partners) are amazing.
