Despite the present ongoing controversy surrounding the Micheal Brown shooting, these young people are lifting their hands for another reason.  I've been privileged to accompany and provide coverage for a group of Christians who take to the streets every Monday evening in hopes of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and praying for the needs of the community.

"The lifting of the hands represent an act of surrender."  ~Eric Vaughn

There is something powerful about a warm embrace from someone who cares.
