13 days...American Bible Challenge WHAT?!

We leave in 13 days!!!!!!!!!


Today I got this email...


Hi Kristin, 

My name is Lindsay Cole and I'm a casting producer in Los Angeles. I'm currently working on the show "The American Bible Challenge". I saw your amazing story online about your trip to Ethiopia and thought you'd be a perfect person to speak to about our show. We are looking for people that are passionate about their faith and knowledge on the bible but that are also passionate about a great cause. 

We need teams of 3 people that are playing to win money for a charity. We aren't filming until July so we wouldn't be able to get you the funds in time for Ethiopia but it might be a great chance to help out other people from your church that want to go on these mission retreats. 

If you could email me or call me that would be great. I'd love to speak with you directly about our show and getting the word out to other people that might be interested in our show as well. My email is lacole87@gmail.com and my number is 818-599-5309. 

Also here is a link to our show on GSN.com:

Thanks!

So I talked to Lindsay today and she's super nice. I called Andre immediately and told him he's doing it with me. I'm also voting Jaime and Erin in but they dont know it yet. Sean said he would coach us!  GO TEAM!

15 days!

AHHHHH what! We are leaving for Ethiopia in 15 days! 15!!!! I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little panicked! I was feeling so prepared until I realized we leave in 15 days. I mean I don't even have all of my immunizations! I still have to pack and buy supplies! AHHH!

Alright...now that I've got that out....

A MILLION THANK YOU'S to those of you that have supported this journey. There are not enough words or hugs to thank you. None of us could go on this trip without your prayers and donations.

With that being said...we still need your help! We are going to be working with children in Ethiopia. I'm working with a non profit organization  called Jerseys & Cleats for Kids to take jerseys and soccer balls to the kids. In addition I would love to take crayons, coloring books, paper, pencils, school supplies etc. Since school is winding down, if any of you have items you haven't used or are gently used and would like to donate, I will gladly accept them :) If you have any questions about donating, you can always email me as well.

I'm so excited to share this crazy wonderful journey that God has put me on. Stay tuned for more shenanigans coming soon :)
