English Version

Many people have asked recently if could put my thoughts out here in English, too. So here is my English blog. You might ask yourself some questions about some things here so before you get all confused, let me explain.

1. What are you doing and what are your plans?
I left the ship in March not really knowing where to start to sort things out to go to Media Village, South Africa. The two main questions were: 1. Would I find a suitalble Organisation to take over the part of work the OM-Germany did for me while on the ship? 2. Would my church send me out on this next step? Both of the major questions were answered with YES. I finally got these answers in July. So since then I am on the go raising support and informing people. Next to this I am also working for various friends designing flyers and broshures and stuff.

Right now I am waitging for Media Village to respond to an application I sent in a few days ago. Also I still need financial support. Other than that I have just finished the layout of a book (more requests are coming in) and doing some design work for a befriended company.

Please feel free to email me and to download the presentation.

2. What does Bullauge mean?
The name of my newsletter is "Ben's Bullauge". It means Ben's porthole. But Bullauge is also the same word used for bullseye. Everyone who received the newsletter got very much used to the name. So people commented: "When is the next 'Bullauge' going to come?" or "I read your 'Bullauge'." So I – and the person who does the design work for me – decided to keep the name and also to give my blog the same title. The German blog is now found at www.ben.nimmo.de but it is listed as www.bullauge.blogspot.com The English blog is therfore called ebullauge – just to add to the confusion ;)

3. Why is your profile in German?
Because I have not found out how to change it, yet. I dont know much about webdesign.

Does that help? So much for now. Ben

PS: Have a look at the two posts below. I posted them also today!

Greeting Cards

As I also did on the ship I recently needed some greeting cards. So I used pictures that I did during my time on the Doulos and printed them out to be folded (like the thank you cards for lineup). Then I had the idea of putting some of them online so others can download them, too.

Click on "Greeting Cards" to have a look at them. If you decide to download and print the cards, just follow the instructions.

CD Presentation

For a missions day at my church every missionary had a little table to present their work. As I have not got very many things to display I thought of creating a presentation on a CD ROM (similar to the presentations I did on the ship). If you are interested you can download it. It's a 60 MB PDF-file. Just click on the link "CD Presentation".

The presentation mainly contains a movie of the work that MediaVillage does. Also some additional things that I have done lately. Enjoy.
