More ACL Response to HAITI

Austin City Life is responding in two key ways to the Haiti earthquake. On Sunday we will take up an offering and on Monday we will participate in the benefit concert.

HOPE FOR HAITI Benefit Concert: Join Austinites from across the city on Monday night at 6pm at The Parish for the Hope for Haiti benefit concert sponsored by Music for the City. Cover charge $10 to go directly to relief. This concert will directly benefit Real Hope for Haiti, is a non-profit organization providing medical relief and care for severely malnourished children in Haiti. The rescue center is home to over 70 malnourished children, and their clinic has been running nonstop since the earthquake.

GIVE to CHURCHES HELPING CHURCHES, a newly formed organization by Acts 29 partners to help Haitian churches recover from the devastating earthquake. This unique response will allow us to be the church to our Haitian brothers and sisters in need, much like the early church responded to one another’s need (2 Cor 8:1-2; Gal 6:10; Phil 4:18).

Discipline: Preparing your kids to meet the King

Learning to enjoy your parent’s authority is the first step towards welcoming God’s authority. Don’t tell your children off for being children. Children break things and drop things…but ensure they obey you. Teach them to submit to your authority…Don’t let your child rule the home. If you do, you’ll be teaching them that they are king in their lives. They’re not. It won’t prepare them for wider social interaction. And it won’t prepare the to meet the true King.
