New places for sharing spirituality

With the up coming Emergent gathering in Nashville here is an excerpt from a local news web site:
Robbie Cheuvront made an unusual request before he started to play praise songs at a recent gathering of the young adult ministry of the Fairview Church. He reminded everyone to remember Mike, the bartender, and tip him well.
The group, which calls itself The Savage Generation, meets once a month at The Lady Godiva Pub, 300 N. Maple St. in Lebanon, to reach out to 20-somethings who are interested in talking about God in an unchurchlike atmosphere. More and more, church groups are meeting in bars or other nontraditional locations to reach out to people who might feel a little intimidated by churches and those who don't feel spiritual in traditional settings.

With due respect,
I was move to write you this letter when all hopes were lost about my
going to school, I have been persuaded to go into prostitution by my
Aunty and that I don,t want to, but resorted to contact you for your
assistance, It is my sincere wish that this mail meet you in good
health,pardon me writing you this way, but I have no other alternative than
to write you.

My name is Diana and I am a 17 years old girl, I was a computer
science student of the City Computer Technology, Benin City, Nigeria
before I recently lost both parents to a ghastly motor accident, My dad is a
Nigerian and my mum was from United States, I was born in Nigeria, but
after the death of my parents, I started staying with my dad sister, that was when my
problems started, my Aunty is not all that too educated, I can say she
does not know the value of education, she has been trying to persuade
me into prostitution, 3 of her daughters are prostituting in Europe,
but I told her that I want to continue my studies, she frowned at all
my plead to get money from her to resume school.

I don't have any money to pay for my school fees which is N25,000 which%

I don't have any money to pay for my school fees which is N25,000 which
is equilvanlent to $250, I have been begging her but to no avail, but
she is still bent on persuading me to go into prostitution, I have been
seeking for assistance here in Nigeria, but most people that I can
reach are very poor, good education is what I need now and I just have
to be begging to have it, my late parents always told me that if I dedicate
my time and become well educated that I will become great, but I can
now see it as something that I might never achieve, please help me to
realize the dream that my parents had for me, the only resort now for
me is to beg and please don't look down on me for that reason, it is
circumstance that lead me to this.

please let me just ask this favor from you, I pray you willing be to
help me, but I want to tell you that nothing is too small, if I am able
to raise the money for my school fees then I will go and resume school
and also I want to leave my Aunty, I want to be staying the school
dormitory and avoid my Aunty, please just take me as your sister, if I
had known any of my mums relative, they would have been the ones to help me out,
but I don't, please I will be very glad if you can help me out with my
school fees, it is just N25,000 ($250) that I need, if I am able to pay
for my fees the school promised to give me free accomodation in the
dormitory,please just do this for me, let that which you want to give
to me for my fees be a blessing to me. you might be wondering how i got your mail
but i searched for it, I will be expecting your mail to know how
you can help me, my email address is diana4help@yahoo.com,
please
I will be expecting you.
My regards to your family.
Sincerely Yours
Diana Williams

My dear,

I greet u my beloved in the name of our God amen.
I am Mr Suleman.E.Joshua, the father of young Evans .
Evans is a five year old boy from Lagos , Nigeria
He is suffering from a very rare disease Elephantiasis cumerdi”, and
combined with undernourishment creates malformation in his bones. (see
photo attached)
He will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't afford to pay the
bills.
So far,I have raised #700.000 out of the #1,200,000 required by the
Joannesburg specialist hospital through the help of NGO'S in my area.
I am soliciting for your financial assistance to raise the remaining #500,000 ie $3,770.00
to enable me take him down to South Africa for the treatment.
Based on this fact, I have to let the world hear me and come to my
rescue,hence I contacted you.
Please my dear ,no amount is too small.Your little token could save his soul .
God will definitely reward you in multiple folds as you decide
to help. As i said before,the doctor said time is no
longer by his side, hence I would like you to react fast
if you are touched.
I await your positive response.Your prayer is also important.
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION.
SULEMAN.E.JOSHUA
