I am so excited about this. Fifteen years ago I visited Malawi, Africa and fell in love with a little girl. She was 2 years old and I often wonder what became of her. I have dreamed of going back to Africa and doing something for the children.
I added your website to my blogroll and gave a shout on FB.
Thanks!!!!!
LOVE THIS!!
I blogged about the opportunity and posted it on facebook. Excited to see how God uses this.
I would love to go on the mission trip because we adopted our son from there 8 months ago and I really want to go back and love on the people there. I added you to my permanent blog roll!
Can't wait to see the awesome things God has in store for this trip!!

I posted on Twitter and Facebook about this.
I've always dreamed about going on a missions trip. I dream of being forever changed by orphans and serving those in need. I could go on and on about the ways God has broken my heart for those in Africa. Funny thing is I remember specifically telling God in 2001 I was afraid to surrender all to Him for fear He'd send me to Africa. Now my greatest dream is to travel to that nation.
I believe He will speak to my heart more when that time comes. I pray it's sooner than later.
Thank you for all you are doing to touch lives for His glory.
Peace and love,
tiffany
Hi Kari,
I am inspired by your faith & work with orphans! I hope to start an orphan care ministry also! I am going to shout out on FB & I would love to go to my youngest daughter's birthplace & be blessed by children who want nothing more than a parent to love them!
Blessings,
Roxanne
I posted your give away on my FB. And you know WHY I would want to go to Ethiopia. It's where my heart is and it would be an ABSOLUTE blast to go on a God-Sized journey with you!! Love and Hugs, Sherry

. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to go to Ethiopia to love on orphans! Dear friends of ours recently adopted from there, and I am hopeful to do SOMETHING MORE to help any of those precious little ones. Having never been to Africa, I know it would change my life and enlarge my vision for God's work, as well!
Blessings,
Laura Whittaker
OK, I couldn't resist the possibility of going to love on some kids. I re-tweeted Paul Myhill's Twitter post that drew my attention to this to start with. I also put a post on my blog at http://orphanadvocatesblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/m…
I've been to China twice and it was awesome. Maybe a trip to Ethiopia?
You are on my blog roll, shared again on Facebook, got your button on my blog AND can't wait to see all these crazy T's all over the place! So excited to see what God is doing!! And I would love to go on the missions trip to LOVE on children!!!!
I went to West Africa last summer to work with precious orphans, and I have found myself obsessed with the work the Lord is doing there. I am excited to see so many wonderful people interested in blessing the orphans of the world. Sign me up!!
I gave this opportunity a shout out on facebook. I would love the opportunity to go because I have always wanted to go to Africa and am considering pursuing a degree in international social work.
I can't wait to see what God is going to do through this team!
You inspire me…… Thank you Kari!
Mama Kiki- I reposted on my blog and FB!!!! Can't wait to see you!!! I am entering this on behalf of a friend since i can't go with you on this trip. Oh how I wish I could go with you. But I would probably lose my job. and that would be bad. So I will let a friend go and allow God to plant the seed for Africa in someone else's heart.
Hi Kari! I made those scones this morning- yumminess! I would love to win the spot on the trip- we're still paying for our adoption and would never be able to afford to go! You are on my blogroll and I gave a shout out on facebook- I think what you have accomplished is awesome! Ethiopia is near and dear to my heart, there isn't one day that goes by I don't think about being there and missing it- the smells, the sights, the lovely hearts of the beautiful people!-
Thanks for all you do- Erin
I've got you on my blogroll now and I've got your blog button:

I'd love to visit orphans with you Ethiopia! I had the privilege of serving orphans in China earlier this year and the opportunity to serve again would be amazing!
I posted both of your grab buttons on my blog, I added your blog addy to my blog roll and I also shared the giveaway (again) today on my FB page.
I am already registered to travel with you on this trip…I have been aching to go to Ethiopia since this past spring when we sponsored two little boys from Korah to attend the boarding school in Shashemene. My oldest daughter traveled to to Korah in june with TSC and is in Korah again now with Jody Hilt and Cherrie Cornish. I feel like I am already part of the Korah family. I have memorized their faces from all the photos. I have read and reread posts of others who have traveled to Korah over the past few months. I want to hold the twin babies that my daughter held yesterday. I want see those sweet little children and hug them and tell them Jesus loves them. I want to encourage the mothers and tell them that God hears their prayers and loves them endlessly.. God has been luring me to Korah for months now, He has called me to go.. and I can't wait until I arrive and smell the smoky air in Africa that my daughter talks a bout so much. And most importantly to just go and be hands and feet for the Lord who loves Korah more than anything.

I added your My Crazy Adoption button to my blog at http://itsnotapassion.blogspot.com/ and also posted about the missions trip giveaway on Facebook.
I would love to be able to win and give this trip to my husband. He is already going and to win this would be a huge blessing to our family.

#3 mini…#3 try!!! i posted to facebook and sent an email! so excited to see who gets chosen!!
What a fabulous idea! It's a win – win. How amazing to offer someone the opportunity to go to Ethiopia and have their life changed forever while they attempt to change lives themselves on a mission trip. I shared this post on facebook and encouraged my friends to check out your blog. We just brought our son home from Ethiopia this past July and I wish everyone I knew could have the opportunity to travel and see what we saw firsthand. Thank you for your giveaway! Many blessings to you!
So excited for someone to go to Africa!! I would love to go again. I went this summer with visiting orphans and fell absolutly in love with those people. It was in Africa when God showed me He loves everyone of us the same and that worship to our Lord and Saviour happens with those that truly adore Him. I want to go back to love on those sweet children that need Jesus. I want to make sure Lagaru and Ferfer and others know when I said that Christ loves them that I meant every word!!
Kari this is such an awesome giveaway and I LOVE your tshirts so decided to enter!
hehe.
I tweeted and put your button on my blog! BLESSINGS!!! <3
You are on my blogroll and I have a button! Love your giveaway and heart to share this wonderful experience with someone who perhaps could not afford it otherwise!!
I'll be in ET in 3 weeks for our adoption…sure would be nice to have a CL shirt to wear for photo ops! ; )
Hello Kari!
You're blog has been such a blessing and it is SO cool to see how God has been working through you to spread love to so many orphans around the world! I fell in love with Ethiopia this past summer on a trip with Visiting Orphans and would LOVE to go back with you next year! If you could please enter me in the drawing I would be thrilled!
- I bought a t-shirt (I love the designs you have!) and your blog is officially listed in my blogroll
I'm excited to see what God has in store!
I have added you to my blog roll, added a button, and posted about your amazing gift on my blog. Super excited to see who is going to get to be a part of this life-changing trip. Blessings to you!!
I posted on FB and ordered another shirt, this time for my 6 year old daughter.
Can't wait to see who God chooses to go on this journey with you! 
XOXO
I added you to my blogroll, told all my FB friends and included information in a post about your giveaway. I'm trying to add your button – but I have to figure out how. I'm praying for you, for this mission, and for all the wonderful children you are helping. Bless you!
I gave a shout out on my Facebook page and am working on a blog post but don't think I will get it done in time so I thought I would write here why I want to go.
I am a middle school teacher and spend my days working with kids from all sorts of backgrounds. 10 months ago I went to Ethiopia to adopt my son and become a single mom. I love on other people's kids all day and come home and love on my son. But the problem is I left part of my heart in Ethiopia. I did not get the chance to work and see kids like I wanted to due to have a pretty sick little one that I was picking up as my son. They are such beautiful people and the kids are so amazing. The chance to go back and experience and grow again while being able to give back to a country that has given me so much. Every morning I see his smiling face I am thankful to Ethiopia and every day that I step in my classroom and get to teach these kids I am reminded of how blessed I am and that I am teaching these children to have a heart for others through my story.
Okay that sums up the blog post.
I have posted the link to facebook, sent out a twitter msg and bought a shirt…(I love the shirts! What creative designs!)
I really love and appreciate what you are doing and thanks for giving us all a chance to "go along for the ride"

WOW this is incredible! I am so excited to be a part of the giveaway! For my entry I put it on Facebook and I'm going to tell you why I'd like to go to Ethiopia in this comment.
I have a strong passion for reaching out to Africa, and more specifically, African orphans. I would LOVE to have such an amazing opportunity as to see my passions set in motion and experience Ethiopia. As of right now, finances will not provide for a trip, and though I am fundraising this year, I am actually putting it towards a project called Change for Lives that is going to a Zambian orphanage. I'd rather the money I raise go towards them above my personal journey there. I strongly do believe God has a future involving orphans for me (as I'm only 16 right now), but why not start now? I'd love to see this take place in my life and see how it will shape my future This provides a chance to see people and life in general with a new set of eyes. This would be a way to see with God's eyes and look beyond the small priveleged life Americans live. I want to see the world, and this mission trip would provide a life-changing experience where I could be a helping hand to Ethiopia, but grow stronger in faith myself.
What a spectacular opportunity! I gave you a shout-out on both facebook and twitter to encourage more entries, also subscribed to your blog. I want to go with you to Ethiopia as I further cultivate the high value of Godly love and the overflow in my daughter, Israel. Blessings!
Just bought my t-shirt and I am sooo amazingly excited!!!!
My 20 yo purchased her t-shirt today! Our neighbors are going to think we bought stock in something by the name of SIMPLY LOVE…but, that's fine with me!
I love how you said early on that God knows who is going and how this amazing opportunity is going to impact their lives…and the lives of others. Let's daydream about the lifelong RIPPLE EFFECT that your step of faith is putting into motion!!!
I don't have a blog or way to meet two of your requirements but I would like ask if you have any ideas to raise enough money to go on my first mission trip. I have the time and desire but coming up with the lump sum of money isn't doable at the moment.
Thanks for all you do for others.
I posted a link to your blog on FB and I added your blog to my permanent blog roll.
We have never met, but I have noticed we have many mutual friends. I was a Kanakuk kamper and kounselor most of my younger summers. I worked at kamp with your little brother Mike at K1 one summer.
We also have a mutual friend I have met through the military, our husbands are both pilots, Allison Disarufino.
It truly is a small world.
I found your blog through Emily Hill Alexander. I look forward to reading it regularly. Thanks for having this amazing contest.
I think I will both be excited and nervous. I know God is Sovereign and His will cannot be thwarted, Praise God.
I would LOVE to go to Ethiopia with you! I just can't get Ethiopia and it's children off my mind. We've started an adoption fund and are trusting in the Lord's timing to bring a child home. Meanwhile we've also sponsored a child through Project 61 and I think it would be so cool to visit them with you. BTW, I put your button on my blog & a FB shout out.
Love & blessings,
Jen
