A Giveaway!

I have some really cool friends. Some of them are rock star moms who are raising the next generation of warriors for justice and Jesus. Some of them have the gift of words and know exactly how to use them to bring healing, grace and truth. Take my friend Jody for example. Mama. Warrior. Advocate. Justice Junkie. Complete Rock Star. A few years back she and one of her buds got together and formed The Adventure Project, a non-profit dedicated to not just gifting money, but elevating people out of poverty by creating jobs.

They currently have a project to bring clean burning coal stoves to families in Haiti. Did you know that the number 1 killer of children under 5 in the developing world is smoke inhalation from open cooking fires? I didn't either. $20 provides one Haitian family a cooking stove. These stoves are made locally in Haiti and provide desperately needed jobs to Haitians. Also, the benefits to the family receiving the stoves are a reduction in resources, time and the number of trees that are cut down.

The Adventure Project has a desire to see $20,000 raised in the next 7 days to provide 1,000 stoves to families this quarter. Also, for every $60 raised, you are entered into a drawing for a free trip with The Adventure Project to Haiti. Ya'll know I love to travel.

Our little family has started a fundraising page and we want you to help. Click here and donate $20 toward our family goal and we'll draw for a free, signed copy of I Walk for Water, which is awesome because I have VERY few books left.

The drawing will be for the next 7 days and I'll have one of the kids draw a name next week.







 

 

One of my favorite people and Ethiopian travelling companions called yesterday.

She was working on a blog post about K, she and I's friendship and the book.

As we talked, she was perusing her pictures from last year's trip to Ethiopia.

 

She asked me if she had sent me all of the photos from her camera.

I couldn't remember if she had or not.

So I told her to email them to me just in case.

 

Enjoy.

 

I did.

 

 

But this one is my absolute favorite!

Probably of all time.

 

I have less than 200 still in my possession.

I am blown away and truly humbled by all of this and I am honored that you all have supported me so much through it all.

I just can't wait to sell the remainder so we can start planning the REAL fun...global, clean WATER solutions!

 

So if you want to order, click on the BUY NOW button and order before Friday, so I can ship it for Christmas.

 

You can now find the book on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles.com.

If you received your book and loved it, please go to these websites and rate the book.

 

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

That's Your Job.

 

 

Almost 250 books have left my hands in the last two weeks.

Another 500 are being distributed by Amazon, BarnesandNobles.com and several private book stores.



I am excited, humbled and amazed that you all have been walking this journey with us.

 

The Hero asked me what I was going to do when this was over.

When all 1000 books are sold and we've chosen a site for the well.

I told him I really wasn't sure.

 

A really great friend is leaving for Ethiopia in the coming months.

She offered to take a copy of the book with her and read it to K.

It sounded great.

K would see the book in record time and would have a copy to keep.

 

I was telling The Hero her offer the other night.

He let me finish.

 

"Linz. Reading your book to K is only one person's job.

Yours."

 

I love it when he's right.

Just the thought of another trip to Ethiopia makes my heart leap.

I don't know dates or times or length.

But the last copy of my book left in my possession is already spoken for.
