Event with ACCCF


WHEN: Fri March 27th, 7:00pm
WHERE: UT campus, NOA 1.126 (See picture for parking information)


Most ACCCF (Austin Chinese Campus Christian Fellowship) members go to the Mandarin fellowship at ACC.  Even though many of us go to the same church, but we rarely get to hang out with each other.  This Friday, we have the rare opportunity to join fellowship with them.  Let us come together for worship and listen to the talk about cross-cultural missions. 

Our speakers will be Craig Bennett and Tommy Broyles, two adminstrative law judges from Austin.  Dinner is provided (FREE!!!!) and will be served at 7:00pm.  Make sure not to be late! We will also have an ice-breaker game and after the talk, we'll have a chance to get into small groups for discussion!!!  

Please take this opportunity to reach outside of our regular boundary and please bring a friend!!

Reaching East Asia... from Texas

The OMF (organization founded by James Hudson Taylor, whose vision is to see church-planting movements in each of East Asia's unreached people groups) local Texas team is looking for new volunteers. Have you considered that reaching East Asia's people can happen right here and now?

They are looking for people with a passion to reach East Asia. Perhaps you can't go overseas right now, maybe you have a heart for missions and don't know where to start. BridgeAsia, the OMF volunteer ministry, offers many opportunities to use your gifts, passions and talents to serve in missions. We have positions for prayer, mentors, advocates and event coordinators. They'd even be able to mentor you along in your missions journey if you aren't sure yet.

They have a vision to see a team of volunteers right here making a global difference through these positions.

You can be the someone to make a difference today. E-mail them if you are interested or visit their website to read stories about their volunteers as well as learn more about the roles in which to serve. It only takes a few hours a month to make an eternal impact among the unreached!

If you have any questions, please contact Beth Forshee, the volunteer coordinator for mobilization.

Movie Night

WHEN: Fri March 27th, 7:30pm
WHERE: ACC Carey Bldg, upstairs

Join us this Friday as we watch "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," which takes a look at the debate over evolution--“Wasn’t this all settled years ago?” The answer to that question is equally troubling: “Yes…and no.” The movie challenges Darwin’s 150-year-old theory of life’s origins with new scientific evidence that has recently emerged--DNA, microbiology, The Big Bang, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and the human genome. Each of these discoveries has, in one way or another, led a growing number of scientists to reconsider the simple view espoused by Darwin that life is a random, purposeless, chance occurrence. The universe, and life itself, is turning out to be far more complex and mysterious than Darwin could possibly have imagined.

We'll be watching the movie on the big screen in the upstairs room of Carey--accompanied by popcorn (made fresh on the spot with a popcorn maker!), candy, and drinks--followed by discussion on the movie. This is a great opportunity for you and your friends who may have lingering questions about creation and evolution. We challenge you to invite your friends!
