My boss just sent me a link to this article, I think it is very insightful. And, I believe it will offer encouragement to our little rag tag group of freedom-seekers. It has stories of everyday folks changing lives just by surrendering themselves to the Lord and allowing Him to move through them. It tells the story of Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, they are a people who accept unconditionally and welcome those who've felt shunned by traditional churches. "We know the feeling of not having your stuff together. We have people here who thought, 'I can never be loved, accepted, encouraged, or any of those things.' And then we actually met Jesus. We've experienced a level of freedom here—and acceptance—and discovered a Jesus who can change screwed-up lives."(Andrew Peters, head of Justice Mission at Crossroads). The people of Crossroads are doing extraordinary things in the name of Christ. I was inspired and moved by this article. Enjoy :)

That's a great article! It's so comforting to know that other people are trying in their own little way to do something about this. And, I LOVE the idea of taking care of the officers. I went online last week and tried to find who the officers are that are in charge of human trafficking. I didn't find their names, but I did find the name of their task force. It would be great to try and take care of these men and women in some way!
