A Way Out
Rescuing women from prostitution, strip joints, and drugs… World Magazine tells the story of A Way Out, a faith-based “rescue program”, run by George Kuykendall, a former helicopter pilot, who is doing a new kind of rescue in Memphis, TN.
Since 1992, A Way Out has been rescuing women from Memphis’ prostitution, stripping, and drug culture. Out of 248 women helped, only seven have ever returned to “the industry” after completing the program.
Man Flies 200 Miles in Lawnchair – Urban Legend?
Kent Couch of Orgeon made his dream voyage over the 4th of July weekend. He flew his lawn-chair (helium balloon cluster) aircraft over 200 miles, from Bend, Oregon over the mountains to a soft landing in Idaho. Kent Couch is no “couch potato”. He flew his lawn chair rigged up with more than 150 helium balloons at altitudes over 10,000 feet. The balloonist first realized his dream of flying among the clouds was possible after watching another man fly over Los Angeles more than 20 years ago.
“Originally, I wanted to do it because of boyhood dreams. I don’t know about girls, but I think most guys look up in the sky and wish they could ride on a cloud.”
Couch’s wife, Susan, called him crazy: “It’s never been a dull moment since I married him.”
