ABOUT MORE THAN SOUND:

There’s more to life than ourselves; more than our own worries and fears or our joys and triumphs. There’s more to life then an economic crisis or a surplus in a budget. Every day, people die from lack of clean water, malaria or other treatable diseases. Every day, families are destroyed leaving children alone, abused or neglected. Every day, human beings are surrounded by war and devastation that tears their lives, homes and communities apart.

More Than Sound is one small way that we can make a difference in the lives of the needy in the name of Jesus. To do our best to live out the good news of Christianity (James 1:27) to those that need it most. To use the resources we have as a community to make a global impact and to stop living our lives as those being served and start being servants like Jesus commanded us to be. (Matt. 20:26-28)

Each month, we will be focusing on a different organization (Samaritan) that is making a difference in the world. A portion of all our online store sales will be donated to these organizations and we will also post links and information about each so that you can learn more about what these people are doing. We will also be sponsoring and organizing events that will have a focus on more than just the bands and the music. So make sure to check out the “Events” page as we update that and partner with bands and venues that want to focus on more than just music.

If you want to suggest an organization that can benefit from More Than Sound, then please email me. Thank you for joining us as we bring more to our world than just sound.

FEATURED SAMARITAN:
Aug/Sept.: Preemptive Love Coalition
Link: www.preemptivelove.org

Their Mission: Preemptive Love Coallition seeks to eradicate the backlog of Arab and Kurdish children waiting in line for life-saving heart surgery and to create cooperation between communities in conflict.

Why we like them: Because of the media’s angle of the middle east here in the US, it is easy to think of Iraqi’s as the “enemy” and to de-humanize them. It is easy to fall into this sort of “us vs. them” mentality and forget the teachings of Christ which focused on loving people. Jesus came to establish a kingdom of serving and that is exactly what PLC is doing.

A portion of all of our online sales will be donated to Preemptive Love Coalition. Please take a moment to read about what they are doing here.
