News: KANYE WEST WANTS TO START A CHURCH TO ‘HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED SUPPORT’

kanye
*Kanye West’s Easter Sunday Service at the second weekend of Coachella left him so inspired that he is reportedly considering starting his own church.
“Say what you want about Kanye, but he really does want to help people who need support,” one source tells PEOPLE, noting that West is aiming to “share his journey.”
“He understands brokenness and the need for healing, probably more than most people. He believes in the healing powers of music, but also believes that God can step in and heal people’s brokenness and their issues.”

Ye’s Sunday Service at Coachella drew a massive crowd (see the Instagram photo embed above). The event was livestreamed and DMX even dropped in to deliver a prayer.
One festival-goer is now selling small bags of “Holy Grass” picked from the ground of the event on eBay for $120, according to a PEOPLE report.
“GRASS FRESH CUT BLESSED BY THE SOUND OF KANYE’S VOICE AND KID CUDI’S HUMMING,” reads the item’sdescription reads (see the photo below).

West “has talked about starting his own church, and what exactly that would be,” said the source but “no official plans” are in development.
Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, previously noted during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel that “There’s, actually, there’s no praying,” during Kanye’s Sunday Service. “There’s no sermon. There’s no word. It’s just music and it’s just a feeling.”
She described the Sunday Service as a “healing experience.”
“He has talked about starting his own church, and what exactly that would be,” said PEOPLE tipster. “It wouldn’t be the traditional, 3-hymns-and-a-sermon thing. Instead, it would be a way to point people to Jesus through the arts and through a community of people who love and care for each other. He also wants his kids to be raised in faith, and the best way for him to do that is to live out his faith.”
West has been delivering his Sunday Service weekly since the beginning of the year

The footage has sparked debate and outrage on social media, with one user calling for the arrest of the “pervert” pastor.

UNSPEAKABLE HORROR HAPPENING TO AFRICAN MIGRANTS IN LIBYA & ITALY: BOYS FORCED TO RAPE SISTERS; MEN’S PENISES CUT OFF & MORE!

Lifestyle: UNSPEAKABLE HORROR HAPPENING TO AFRICAN MIGRANTS IN LIBYA & ITALY: BOYS FORCED TO RAPE SISTERS; MEN’S PENISES CUT OFF & MORE!

*Lord have mercy! According to a report from the Women’s Refugee Center (WRC), what’s happening to African migrants is absolutely INHUMANE and HORRIBLE and needs looked into immediately.
“Our findings are deeply disturbing,” said Dr. Sarah Chynoweth, sexual violence project director and consultant to WRC, who led the research. “Sexual violence against female and male refugees and migrants appears to be widespread along the migration route, particularly in Libya.”
The Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) today released the second in a series of groundbreaking studies looking into sexual violence against men and boys affected by conflict. The report launched today, “‘More Than One Million Pains’: Sexual Violence Against Men and Boys on the Central Mediterranean Route to Italy,” explores one of the most dangerous migration passageways in the world and the nature and characteristics of sexual violence perpetrated against men and boys along this route and when they reach Italy.

The first report in this series, “‘It’s Happening to Our Men as Well’: Sexual Violence Against Rohingya Men and Boys,” was launched in New York last fall and revealed new data suggesting that the Myanmar Armed Forces targeted Rohingya men and boys for sexual violence as part of its unfettered assault on the Rohingya community in 2017.
“WRC has undertaken this research looking into sexual violence against refugee men and boys so that we can identify the gaps in protection and services for this population – which have not been well documented – and to get a better understanding of how it intersects with violence against refugee women and girls,” said Joan Timoney, WRC’s senior director of advocacy and external relations. “We are also working to ensure that efforts to address male survivors complement and reinforce services for women and girls.”
The “More Than One Million Pains” report shows that sexual violence against all migrants and refugees – women, men, girls, boys, and LGBTQI+ persons – appears widespread along the route and that sexual victimization is often not a one-off event. Refugees and migrants are exposed to sexual violence throughout the course of their journey from fleeing home, during the crossing of the Sahel, to being held in Libya, where they face harrowing conditions, and even onto Italy – for the few that make it that far – where for some the cycle of violence continues. The study also suggests that some boys, young men, and LGBTQI persons are being sexually exploited in Italy, as are numerous women and girls.
There’s MORE to this story and it needs to read so you or someone will hopefully be moved to act upon it so these people can be helped.

RIP: HOUSE MUSIC ICON KIM ENGLISH DIES AT AGE 48

*Chicago House and dance music icon Kim English has passed away. She died Tuesday (04-02-19) at the age of 48 after an ongoing battle with kidney failure. Her death was announced by her label Nervous Records.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing tonight of Kim English,” the label wrote in a Facebook post.

Vickie Markusic, her manager, said she was on dialysis and awaiting a transplant, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
For those not familiar, English was once a gospel singer but she topped the Billboard dance-chart with hits such as “Missing You” (2000) and “Unspeakable Joy” (1999). English was best known for her classic house track, “Learn 2 Luv.”
“We’re talking about basically house music anthems because she had that soaring voice,” said Metro club founder Joe Shanahan, who heads the advisory committee for the Frankie Knuckles Foundation, dedicated to the house music pioneer. “Like Aretha, like Whitney, like Mavis, many of the greats, it comes from the church. If you brought her in on a session, you were bringing in the top, you were bringing in the best.”
Byron Stingily, a producer and singer-songwriter said: “Kim may be one of the most successful people to have ever sung club music.”
He added, “She was one of the best vocal talents” to come out of Chicago, said deejay and producer Joe Smooth. “Her words were very strong and powerful.”
English was also quite popular in the LGBTQ community. “She loved everybody,” Stingily noted.
“She felt everybody was God’s children and that it was not her place to cast judgment on anyone,” Markusic said. “Her mission was to be able to present in the club scene a message about God, and she did it without being preachy.”
“She had a unique ability both through her singing and songwriting talents to inspire people to dance and also celebrate the joys of God and religion,” Nervous Records said in a Facebook post announcing her death.
English is survived by her son Christopher, her parents, brothers Eric, Richard and Ronald Carl and Layuna Hayes-Cooper, whom she considered a sister. Funeral arrangements are pending, the Sun-Times report stated.

Thank you
Truth be told, the best from Nigeria are yet to be heard. Many did not just quit or backslided but got depressed and died in the process . If you do music for money, you get doomed in no time but do it as a hobby and expressed your passion on it then you will see God prosper you. For me pulling through stems from the realization of the fact that Ive got a borrowed life. Jesus is my focal point and he leads me while I follow. I cannot fail because God cannot fail and since he called me he will keep pulling me through till Jesus comes
