Sneak Peek…….
Just wanted to give you a sneak peek on something that I am participating in. More details will be coming soon, but for now please just pass the word. It goes to a wonderful cause! I’ll be posting more info in a few weeks but till then, pass the word!
I’ll be putting something up from Botswana! 
From Moms, Ministry, and More!
Candle in the Corner Giveaway
I’m just a simple missionary mom.
I often wonder if I’m doing any good at all in my corner of the world. But every once in a while, things come together in such a way that I know God is giving me an opportunity to make a difference.
That’s when I’m reminded that even a candle can brighten the darkness.
The Candle in the Corner event is one of those opportunities for me to serve…and for YOU to win some awesome items from around the world!Missionaries serving around the world have donated items to giveaway and you will have your chance to win them! I don’t know about you, but I’d love to have a Portuguese rooster in my home! Or an African candle…or an Indian batik… (The actual items are a surprise and will be revealed during the giveaway, but as you can see, this is a very unique opportunity!)
By participating in the Candle in the Corner event you could win a cultural item from one of the following countries while supporting missionaries and their work in taking the light of Jesus Christ to their corners of the world:
- Spain
- Portugal
- Indonesia
- South Africa
- Honduras
- Russia
- Uganda
- and more! The list is ever growing!Does it sound great or what?! Here are the details on how it will work:
~~~The Candle in the Corner event will take place here at Moms, Ministry, and More from October 27 – November 10.
~~~Any donation made here via the PayPal button during the event will earn entries to the giveaway. Every $5 will earn one entry and every $20 will earn five entries. The minimum amount to earn an entry is $5.~~~During the event I will spotlight the countries and missionaries who are providing the giveaway items. All monies raised will go directly to support mission work in the spotlighted countries. This work includes church planting, orphan care, humanitarian work, prison ministry, missionary aviation, Christian education and student work, and more. As host of this event, I will not receive any of the funds.
~~~Winners will be randomly selected on November 11 and announced here. For time’s sake (I’ve got 4 small children!), you must check back here to see if you’ve won.
~~~As a thank you to those who help kick off this event, October 27 will be “Early Bird Extra Entries Day.” This is your chance to earn extra entries before we start “unveiling” the giveaway items. Any donation made on this day (up until 12:00am EST Oct 28) will earn DOUBLE ENTRIES!!
~~~In addition to donating during the event, you can help by promoting this event via twitter, facebook, blog, email, etc. Grab the button too! If you do one of these, leave me a comment on this post and you’ll get an extra entry.Get ready to stir up the gift and fan the flame! (II Timothy 1:6)

Yay! I am so glad you are participating. Did you know that I was the one who suggested your name to Heidi?
I’ll have to post this “preview” on my blog too & steal your idea!
Blessings!!!
I was going to comment you Sarah and say thanks for suggesting me to Heidi! I love this idea and it’s all going to such a great cause! I’m going to put up some Botswana baskets…..I have to get a few in order first.
Go ahead and steal away!
I figure the more we promote the better for us all!
