Many people are complaining about the fence around the Olympic cauldron because the fence prevents access to the cauldron, but there is another Olympic fence that is presenting a challenge to Trinity’s outreach efforts at the 2010 Games. 
For security reasons there is a fence around the O-Zone in Richmond, BC which is cutting down the human traffic around Trinity. There are three access points for the O-Zone but directly across from Trinity, there is nothing but fence and four lanes of busy traffic. Most of the people coming to the O-Zone have no knowledge of Trinity’s internet cafe, the large screen TV, and refreshments.
Challenges, of course, always present opportunities and Trinity has responded. The Fusion carnival events in the front yard have attracted people walking past the church. Trinity’s organizing committee has opened up the parking lot to the general public with some of the public finding their way into the church. Many of the More Than Gold and Athlete in Action volunteers are taking the materials (e.g. Mountie pins, More Than Gold pins, More Than Gold pocket guides) to the area streets and venues and handing out the material. Trinity’s evangelistic literature is also being shared with World Harvest Chapel which is located on a route leading to the Olympic Oval.
Although the human traffic flow into Trinity may not be as expected, there are still many people coming through the doors and watching the events on the large screen and enjoying the refreshments. The gospel is being shared through personal witness and the Bibles, Gospel tracts, pins and tracts are being distributed. 
Keep praying for our witnessing opportunities!
