Oh My Gaawsh!

A delayed introduction. This is the team. Ro, Malissa, Ashley, Josh, and me (Ryan)

Last night in L.A. We have been on the road for a total of 10 days...Honestly its felt like 2 months. A mix of interviews and walking around the Red light districts in different cities takes a toll on a person. Just the head games that come into play when walking down a street with enough camera gear to get the next “fix” for the next year is a sobering idea….I can say I am getting more comfortable approaching people on the street. In fact last night we went out to Hollywood Blvd.

to interview people about human trafficking and it was pretty much not known about among the “american” culture. We were able to talk to law enforcement and just regular people on the street. The overwhelming response was…”wha

t is it? Answer...OH, my gawsh! That happens here?! Thus the reason we are doing what we are

doing...raising awareness.

A few days ago we were able to host an Experiencing Injustice with one of the churches here in the area. Mostly Jr. Highers from the suburbs of LA. Part of me hopes we didn’t traumatize them too much….but on the other hand….The evening turned out really well YWAM LA came out supplied the actors and did an amazing job. The Sex Trafficking acting and Organ trafficking was the best I have seen thus far. Pretty cool to be part of an experience that was birthed out of YWAM Salem. Great stuff.

Tonight we are heading somewhere here in LA to work withProject Exodus to be trained on how to do a stake out and log different things that we find about human trafficking. Should be pretty interesting the things that we learn. Tonight will be the last night we are in LA tomorrow on to San Fran!!!
