My Crazy Readers, I’m throwing a big GIVEAWAY party this week for Tom Davis’ book Priceless! I’m crazy about this book and I want you to join the craziness too! I have 10 prizes for you to win. 10 Priceless books + 10 bags of Saint’s Coffee!!
I will pick 10 winners!! Priceless is not just another great novel, it’s a novel with a priceless purpose. You can check out Sheispriceless.com to learn more about advocating for orphan girls in Russia and all over the world. Your purchase of a Priceless book will help support Tom Davis and HopeChest’s ministry as they work fervently to eliminate sex-trafficking and exploitation of orphans.
A special word from Tom Davis- “Every single person can do one thing to help kids caught in trafficking. Making a commitment to pray is a huge thing because nobody prays for these girls. The key is to get educated then get involved. This is one of the darkest forms of evil in our world, but it’s where our light shines the brightest!”
How do you enter the Priceless + Coffee Giveaway?
You Pick 1, 2, or 3… or pick all 3!! You get an entry for each pick you choose.

What do you win?
I will randomly select 10 winners who will receive 1 Priceless book and 1 bag of Saint’s Coffee!!!!!!!! I will end the contest when we reach over 100 comments or more by the end of the week.

#1
Tom Davis with Priceless girls!! (notice their necklaces you helped sponsor!!) ” The girls are from our young mother’s program in Russia. Some of them have been rescued, but for most, our programs have helped to prevent them from getting caught. See http://www.hopechest.org/support-moldova/ and http://www.hopechest.org/ministry-centers/.” Tom Davis
She is Priceless!!
This is a hot spot in Kostroma for sex traffikers to lure their victims into slavery.
Tom Davis told me that these men are traffickers sitting behind him at the cafe. So sick and disturbing the darkness right out in plain view blatantly sex trafficking priceless girls in Russia.
Feel Informed….
Check out these ministries in Moldova- Home of Hope and Beginning of Life are in it for the long haul.
Moldova Trafficking Stats
1. The majority of women and girls that are trafficked come from rural areas. Over 10 percent are under 18 years old, some as young as 12 years old. Traffickers recruit women and girls through different strategies.
2. Direct contact, when women and girls, or their families, are approached by traffickers. The traffickers are often women from the same village who have previously worked as prostitutes or have been trafficked abroad and became traffickers. The family is often paid money in advance and the woman or girl is expected to earn the advance and pay back the family’s debts.
3.Advertisements are placed in the press, offering jobs abroad. The advertisements directed at young women offer jobs as waitresses or house help, but more often bluntly state that the jobs are for those willing to work in the sex industry.
4. Tourist agencies offer full migration services from arranging passports and Schengen visas to transportation and work contracts. There are more than 3,000 tourist agencies, of which only some 140 have an official license to operate.
5. Job agencies. Out of a total of 100 job agencies, only fourteen have official licenses and these mostly hire men for construction work. Only three agencies offer jobs to women as waitresses and nurses. Others offer illegal work. Some of these enterprises are run by organised crime groups and operate as covers for trafficking.
We are wearing Simply Love Moldova T shirts.
Congrats to the Shaver Family who are in the process of adopting a little girl from Moldova!! You can help support this family buying a shirt at their blog.

Just wanted to say that this book is close to my heart. I spent a month in Russia and fell in love with the culture, especially the people. They have faced so much adversity! Praise God that people like you are willing to take a stand to help stop these atrocities!

June 15th, 2010 at 4:44 PM
I posted this on my Facebook page. "Fields of the Fatherless" helped inspire us to adopt, and I recently read "Scared". Thanks, Kari, for promoting Tom Davis' awesome books! I can't wait to read "Priceless!"
June 15th, 2010 at 5:06 PM

Posting on FB. Just returned from my 5th trip to Russia. Have heard from my team leader that this book is excellent and would love to win a copy. Can't begin to imagine where my son and daughter, adopted 3 years ago from Rostov-on-Don, Russia, could have ended up. Such a joy and blessing to have them with us.

I shared about Priceless on FB.
I don't have a functioning blog, but I would love to read Tom Davis' new book! Scared had such an impact on me, especially after doing ministry in Swaziland, that I shared it with everyone who would read it. I am sure Priceless would open my eyes to a crisis I know very little about.
May God use you to continue to bless others!
June 16th, 2010 at 3:21 AM
i really enjoyed the first book scared and can't wait to read priceless.
June 16th, 2010 at 3:39 AM
I'd love to win this book for my daughter. She's so protected and so loved, this book would really open up her eyes to the dark and real world out there. Sex trafficking is horrendous and I really admire and respect Tom Davis for the remarkable job he's doing, God Bless Him!
Tom Davis + Coffee = PRICELESS!

This subject is dear to my heart as are the Russian orphans. As the mother to 4 Russian children I know the future that awaited them if they would have aged out of the orphanage. I have been reading Tom's books and this is the only one I do not have. Met him at a conference in GSO. Recently returned from a mission trip to Russia to work with the orphans.

Hi, I would like to win! 8 kids, two by adoption last year, and almost nine months of unemployment at the same time…well, buying books is low on the priority list for our family. Plus, our coffee from Ethiopia is just about to run out
Won't be going back there for a VERY long time, so I wouldn't mind winning some from you.
June 16th, 2010 at 10:05 AM
I posted the links on FB!!! I have already read Priceless and this book is absolutely amazing!!! It is just as good as its predesscessor, Scared! At times I felt anger toward the injustice described in the book, but ultimately Priceless challenged me!!! The book is now circulating through my friends and family. GOD BLESS!!!
June 16th, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Hi! I just posted this giveaway on FB! I hope to win a copy of Tom's new book. I bought 5 copies of his book "Fields of the Fatherless" which was so inspiring to me and opened my eyes to a world that I never had thought much about. I felt I had to share it with everyone! Looking forward to reading his new book while sipping on some freshly brewed "coffee with a purpose"!
June 16th, 2010 at 10:46 AM
I posted it on my blog and I added the Saint's Coffee button and the She Is Priceless Button.
Thanks

Love the shirt that says Man UP and has the picture of Africa. Going to buy it now.
If you would like to do a guestpost on my blog. I would love for you to. We have a heart for South Africa and I've been trying to highlight some of the issues during this World Cup timeframe.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway and loving on those who need it most.

Posted your giveaway and website on my Facebook
June 16th, 2010 at 11:06 AM
Sorry no website, but I have been spreading the word. I gave away 10 "Red Letters" books and have plans to buy more and give those away. In each book is a note asking them to read and pass it on to someone else. Just read "Fields of the Fatherless" and am even more convicted that I need to put more effort into this. I'm one step away from supporting a child through HopeChest – I already support a child through another agency. If I wasn't over 50, I'd be adopting as many kids as I could. I'm so thankful that I randomly picked up Tom's Red Letters in my Bible bookstore and read it. I can't believe how complacent I was. I hope to make it to Africa or Russia some day. Thanks for helping keep us aware.
June 16th, 2010 at 12:13 PM

Hey, Kari! I'm posting on FB for now. Hoping to get to the blog soon!

Just finished reading Scared and would love to read Priceless. Having a daughter from Africa and one from Eastern Europe–both books strike such a chord of thankfulness that they are here with us! Thanks for spreading the word. Posted on FB.

I have 4 children 2 bio and 2 adopted from Ukraine. My daughter adopted in 2005 was nearly seven years old and had been in an orphanage for only about 18 months. Her mother had started prostituting her at under four years old. I believe that the Lord rescued her out of what would have potentially been a returning to the hell her mother had put her through had He not led us to adopt her. She is wounded and troubled but we will not give up. I feel like Priceless is the story of what her life would have been. Thanks for telling/ and getting the stories out there. I don't have a website, but will post to FB account
