MY BIGGEST CRAZIEST PROJECT EVER!!!!
Welcome to my crazy adoption blog!!!ย You may have heard about the big crazy project and the rumors are true!!!!!!!!ย I’m going to GIVE AWAY 2 mission trips to Ethiopia!!
You may have dreamed of going on a missions trip, but raising money, resources, time, and maybe a little fear have kept you from stepping out in faith and living the God dream.ย This is YOUR opportunity to travel to Africa and make a difference in the life of an orphan.ย Iโm jumping for joy for youโฆ I donโt want you to miss out on this incredible opportunity.
The party starts today!!ย I am giving away 2 Missions Trip Scholarship to Ethiopia for my trip February 17-26th with Visiting Orphans!!!!!!!! YES YES YES you heard me right.ย Iโm giving away a missions trip!!!!!!!! WHOOOHOOOOO I can hardly stand it!!! God gave me a passion for missions and Iโm scared to death (literally my hands are shaking writing this).
I will donate a gift to Project 61 and Visiting Orphans Ministry, who impact orphans living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Korah Dump. My dream is for My Crazy Adoption Blog and you, the beautiful bloggers to sponsor children off the dump and provide an education!! Project 61 is making dreams come true for so many children, changing lives, and making a difference for eternity.
What do I win exactly?
- 1 missions trip to Ethiopia with Visiting Orphans
- Value $3,100.00
- this includes everything โ missions application payment, airfare, food and accommodations.ย The payment for the trip will be made directly to Visiting Orphans Ministry.
If your heart right now is pounding and your hands are sweaty, I want to challenge you to DO IT AFRAID!!!!ย I waited 42 years to go on my first missions trip, so I understand about being afraid. If you are afraid, that’s OK… just do it afraid and God will do the rest through you! We are ALL called to simply love. Religion that is
pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction (James 1:27)
โDare to Dreamโ is a challenge. A challenge that is as bold and as strong as it sounds. A challenge that goes out to every person young or old… NO MATTER WHAT they have walked through in the past or what they may be facing today. It rings out loudly and whispers softly to encourage, to motivate, to beckon โฆ. I DARE YOU!!! I DARE YOU TO DREAM!!โ (James River DFL 2010)
My Crazy Adoption Project starts today 10/6/10 and ends 10/28/10. God has already picked the winner!! He knows who will be joining us in Ethiopia. Please commit to praying for this project and asking the Lord to guide, direct, provide and fulfill His purpose. Help me spread the word about the missions trip project – on your blogs, Twitter, FB and email blasts!! You can add the mission buttons (Thx Becky!) on your blogs, too. The key- visiting an orphan can turn into radical hospitality… ADOPTION!!
Are you ready to dream with me? Will you leave, in the comments, a special prayer or verse for this project and commit to praying for everyone who participates in the project.
God can do anything, you knowโ far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest DREAMS! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us. (Ephesians 3:20 MSG)

OH WHAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD HAS SOMEONE THAT HE WAS TO CHANGE FOREVER THROUGH THIS TRIP. I am DYING to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whhhhaaaaat! WHOA! Kari you are AWESOME!!!!

What a GREAT idea! I didn't see a code to embed the new buttons?
I am a friend of a friend, and I think this is an absolutely AMAZING idea!! Thanks for being obedient as God laid something radical on your heart!
Well, this seems awfully timely considering the hulabaloo that has been erupting in my heart recently. I don't know how … but God does. That said, I look forward to purchasing some shirts and seeing exactly how God works in lives through your giveaway. THIS is what I find super exciting! Thanks!!!
Very cool – just posted on my blog all about it.
The new Tees are great, BTW!
This is THE BEST CRAZY DREAM IDEA EVER!! ๐
Hey Girl, I already ordered 2 t-shirts.I'm thinkin' I need more… If you are reading this comment, I challenge you to buy 2~too!
For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
Hab.2:3
GOD will make a way, when there seems to be no way.
Way to go Kari GirL! God chose you for this at this time because HE knows you are willing and you are obedient. Oh the blessings!!! Proud of you and excited for this crazy dream!!!

I John 1:5-6 (NCV) I loved this verse! You are living 1 John 1:5-6 Kari by going for your God dreams. You are being a world changer! A life changer! and loving those in need!! Let's all be world changers and buy a Tshirt!!!! How easy you have made us to participate in something big ๐
