PopArtist(s): Paul Alan, Robert Pierre
While plenty of Christian artists have taken part in the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise funds for the ALS Association, one Christian artist decided to get doused for a different cause.
Pop/rock singer Robert Pierre posted an Instagram video on Sunday showing him and a couple other guys getting brief icy bath “for Israel.”
Pierre told NRT News he participated in the viral act to help a church in Israel raise money to give iPads to the autistic children in their congregation.
"Our youth donated a lot," he said of his own home church.
In Israel, iPads and the Ola Mundo app have received lots of attention for helping that country's autistic youth. The app, which reportedly costs $80 a year to use, lets the children communicate using the app’s kid-friendly images.
