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!

It’s our responsibility. It’s part of my worship and one of my love language. And by giving…He increases His presence in my life:)
My life is so blessed and with the love of God in my heart I feel I can share what I have with others. I would not have anything without God’s blessings upon me and my family.
God has given me so many things that I know there is no way I could have acquired for myself. My job is one of them- I work at a pro-life crisis pregnancy center. When you know that you have been given things, and know they are directly from the Lord, and that you have responsibilities to pass on His goodness through what you can do for others…then it gives you a whole new perspective. I know every single thing I have is not mine, and that I have things I would have never dreamed I would want for myself, but have turned out to be exactly what I needed. To not give to me is to think that what I have was mine in the first place, when clearly it’s not. If Jesus can give his life, then I can give my earthly things- possessions, talents, knowledge, etc.- to others, no strings attached. I don’t say this to make myself look good or to say that I’m always good at doing this, but because I think that this is what were called to do as Christians. So I try my best to do this.
I have been given an ability to relate to youth. In my paid career and through volunteering in churches I give time and attention to hurting youth.
My favorite gift that I have ever received was for Mother’s Day from my husband and my kids. It was the gift of sponsoring a little girl in Ghana, Africa through World Vision. Hikma was 5 years old then. Now she is 10 and we continue to sponsor her knowing that we have made a difference in her life and the lives of those in her village. I feel like I could celebrate Mother’s Day with her mom helping to take care of her child so far from here. After all, isn’t that what all of us moms want ~ to give the most we can to our children? I was certainly given more in the exchange.
