Unspeakable

Ian and i have found an amazing church here in Bend called Antioch. and for the last three weeks our pastor has been talking about human rights. and it has rocked our world.

ROCKED IT.

Read the book Unspeakable. Its by Raymond Bechard. It will ruin your life. But make you so aware of things we just don't talk about.

Do you realize we have more slaves TODAY than any other time in history? We have 27 Million.

and you do know that Sex Trafficking is the #1 Crime in the world. These women, little girls, are being tricked into, and sold into sex trafficking.

18,000 - 20,000 people are trafficked into the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA every year. This is happening in our own backyard.

The #1 crime IN THE WORLD.

And Antioch is talking about it, and not only are they talking about it, they are finding ways to get involved.

and i would like YOU to please check out this website for ransom wear. (Ransomwear.org) Its an organization here in Bend helping women in Nepal. This organization will buy women out of brothels and give them jobs. They knit, and crochet, and make hats, scarves, gloves, purses that are sold here. And the money goes to the girls so they can have a life with OUT being a sex slave. It goes to counseling for the girls who have lived in brothels, it goes to people patrolling the boarders who are literary stopping and arresting men who are crossing the boarder with these women.

Please check it out look around, Christmas is around the corner, think about buying someone a gift that will also give. Freedom never felt so good.

And if your interested in hearing what Ken has been talking about, Antioch podcasts all the sermons and songs on ITunes, just look up: Antioch Bend Oregon and listen to the Human Rights. Its worth it, i promise! Put it on your Ipod, or burn it on a CD, but the preaching is unbelievable, and it will rock YOUR world!


a little side note: Ducks are still top ten in the nation. We're hanging on!
