On February 12, 2008, 15 year old Lawrence King was shot in the head by his fellow classmate, 14 y/o Brandon McInerney. Brandon claims that he shot Lawrence because he heard a rumor that Lawrence was going to ask a boy in their class to be his Valentine...on February 13, Lawrence King died of his injuries..."It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish...." ~Mother Teresa

Today i met a 19 year old girl who has recently been rescued from human sex trafficking in Pheonix Arizona...when she told us her dream was to sing, I thought it was inspiring...and then when i heard her sing on stage in front of thousands of people, after being abused and sold and lost for 5 years...she gave me hope.
