Our Bolivia bloggers team is having a little fun this week. We’re giving our readers the chance to win a brand-new t-shirt from GIVEN, the new clothing line inspired by World Vision.
The GIVEN apparel line was founded on this belief: Our capacity to GIVE is directly related to our acceptance of what Jesus has first GIVEN us. When we fully embrace this concept and fully realize that all we have has first been GIVEN to us, our passion for GIVING to others grows. No matter what your job is, no matter what your talent is, there is a place for you to serve and to GIVE to others.
Here’s what you need to do to win:
How does what’s been GIVEN to you inspire you to GIVE to others?
1. Write out your short answer and leave it in our comments section.
2. Then, “like” this post on Facebook.
3. Tweet it out, too.
4. Ask your friends the same question we’ve asked you. The more people you get to participate (make sure they include your name in their comment), the greater chance you have to win!
Giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday, November 20, 2011. One lucky winner will be chosen at random and will receive a gift code good for one t-shirt of the winner’s choice from GIVEN. The winner will be notified by email, so please include your email address when you submit your comment. Good luck!

I have been given parents who cared enough to share the Word of God with me- in their words, their actions and in their love. In return, I hope to be able to share the love that God has given me to those around me. In my words, in my actions, and in my love.
My God has given me the gift of life. He has given me good health, a beautiful wife, children and grandchildren, all healthy!! God gives me my daily bread, daily! God meets my needs spiritually, emotionally, and physically! I can do nothing without my God!
I have been blessed by our giving to World Vision and our daughter across the seas. To witness, even just a small glimpse of her life has given us a true appreciation and deeper understanding of God’s love for all mankind! Thank you World Vision for your commitment to making this world a better place!
What God gives to me always OVERFLOWS or is in SURPLUS and more than what I need which makes it my responsibility to share it with others. It is however only by the GRACE of God, who lives in me, that gives me the inspiration to give to others. By myself I am nothing but a fallen selfish sinful person.
I have been given the gift of health for my 3 children, my husband, and I. We are blessed with jobs, a warm home, and food. My heart goes out to those who are in need of the basic necessities of life, such as clean water. Things we in America take for granted. I love World Vision, because they not only help the emergent needs in communities, but help families, women and children with long term goals such as wells, education, and business loans. I love to get my children involved in looking through the catalog and deciding what we want to donate to World Vision for our offerings. God has blessed us, and we hope to bless others.
First, God has given me new life, which means my life is no longer my own – I owe it all to Him, which means that He has first dibs on my life, my time, my finances, etc. Second, God has entrusted me with two wonderful healthy children. But I know that His children are all over the world, often in very different (desperate) situations. If my child were suffering what these children all over the world are suffering, I would give everything to help them – and that’s what God calls me to do for His children; We are to be His hands and feet.
