Other Evangelism Ministries (Section 4.2.1)

In the evangelism section there is a short reference to performing arts ministries, a section on Olympic outreaches, then a section titled "other evangelism ministries". Although all of the ministries listed are noble and worthwhile, the ones listed are just a few among hundreds of equally worthwhile ministries worldwide. I don't feel that it adds anything to mention this handful of examples. In the interests of cleaning up the article and focusing on the main points, does anyone object to removal of this section?

History Section:

A comment related to the above: There is an added sentence about a specific local ministry which, for the same reasons mentioned above, does not, in my opinion, belong in this overall general history section. Any objection to removal of the last line starting with "In 1978..." ?:

The University of the Nations online magazine has stated that Cunningham met scientist and professor Howard V. Malmstadt at a conference in 1974. They started giving educational seminars together, and Cunningham asked Malmstadt to help expand the training arm of the mission. In 1977 YWAM purchased the Pacific Empress Hotel in Kona, Hawaii, and began renovations to turn it into the campus for what was initially called the Pacific and Asia Christian University—the forerunner of University of the Nations.[11] In 1978, YWAM began Shining Lights, an outreach to prostitutes in Amsterdam.[12] Calicolorae (talk) 22:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dangerous Work (Section 4.5)

Does anyone have an idea what the following sentence means? It looks like an important word got edited out. "Jules" doesn't mean anything to me...

"In May 2006, Jules was caught in anti-foreign riots overtook Kabul, Afghanistan in May 2006. Violence there left eight people dead and 107 injured." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calicolorae (talk • contribs) 05:19, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
