olympics so far

well i have been in Vancouver for a week now arriving here last Tuesday, It has been incredible and yet quite overwhelming.

so the organization More than gold really felt the mandate to join with existing ministries and so we are doing alot of work with salvation army and other more independent ministries one of them being something called the great room on the down town east side on w hastings which is a place where women can go to learn skills to dare to dream of a life other than street life. i cant begin to describe the place here is a website that might explain more http://linwoodhouseministries.typepad.com/ . The work we are doing with salvation army is diverse but mostly we are offering radical hospitality by handing out hot chocolate and coffee at alot of main skylink stations. but yesterday i spent 5 hours turning old bed sheets into rags because they had a abundance of sheets and they wanted to sell the rags to mechanic shops around town to raise funds so they can do more outreach.

and the other days have been pretty awesome one day we had prayer station which was us standing in a fairly busy sky train station and wearing a smock that says prayer changes things and a little sign saying free prayer. standing boldly giving people eye contact not there with any agenda other than to offer prayer to those who ask. we got to pray for quite a few christians but alot of people looked at us and i could see how intently they were reading, some of them seemed to not have the opportunity to stop and so we prayed for them without them. and we have also done quite a bit of work with a free concert series here in vancouver put on by a group of christians with a huge list of artists so we hit the streets handing out information about it.

my internet is getting shoddy so im going to have to put this blog out now
keep us in prayer
today we are handing out hot chocolate

(法新社倫敦四日電) 英國情色大亨芮孟的公司昨天說,芮孟日前去世,享壽八十二歲;這位A片下載身價A片上億的房地產開發商,曾經A片下載成人網站倫敦推出第一場脫衣舞表演。

A片下載成人網站
芮孟的財產估計達六億五千萬英鎊(台幣將近四百億),由於他名下事業大多分布在倫敦夜生活區蘇活區,因此擁有「蘇活之王」的稱號。


他的公司「保羅芮孟集團」旗下發行多種情色雜誌,包括「Razzle」、「男性世界」以及「Mayfair」。


芮孟本名傑福瑞.安東尼.奎恩,父親為搬運承包商。芮孟十五歲離開學校,矢言要在表演事業留名,起先表演讀心術,後來成為巡迴歌舞雜耍表演的製作人。


許多評論家認為,他把情色表演帶進主流社會,一九五九年主持破天荒的脫衣舞表演,後來更靠著在蘇活區與倫敦西成人網站區開發房地產賺得大筆財富。


有人形容芮孟是英國的海夫納,地位等同A片美國的「花花公子」創辦人海夫納。
