Drivers passing by the intersection of 15th Ave. s.w. and s.w Roxbury where Sweetheart Failatusi was murdered Aug. 16 were surprised to see dozens of people carrying signs and using a P.A. system to shout out messages of faith in God in response to the violence.

Victory Outreach Church of Seattle was there with their Gang Girl Ministry. "GANG stands for Gods Annointed Now Generation," said Kabi Gishuru, speaking on behalf of the church, "It's our youth ministry from our entire region. We have a church from Idaho here, from Portland, from Vancouver, Canada, from Surrey Canada, from Yakima, Tri-Cities, Spokane and we've all come out here just to share the love of God. We just had our Passion for Purpose Service which is an annual service that we do where the girls learn what God's purpose is for their life.

Approximately 150 young women took part in the demonstration, crowding all four corners of the intersection.

"We strategically picked this spot because we know that little over a week ago a young girl about our age was shot and killed and we picked this spot because we think White Center needed to hear about the love of God," said Gishuru.

The church is located at 10821 1st Ave. South in White Center.
