Congratulations to the winners of the Constant Comment Contest, and thanks to all those who entered!

The two grand prize packages will be going to Ukraine and Mozambique (with the Kindle going to the Ukraine)!  All winners were chosen using random.org (but nothing is truly random, is it?). ;)

Grand Prize Winners

The missionary who will win the Kindle, Journible and the new Operation World is Tammy Swailes in Ukraine!  Her blog is INSTE News From Europe.

The person she can thank will also be winning a prize!  The winner is Laura Anderson from Mozambique, and she wins a copy of the new Operation World and a Journible!  Laura also has her own missionary blog – Clearly Living!  She commented here to win her prize.

Second Prize Winners

The second missionary to win a prize is Amber Stephens of Reflections of Refinement in Japan.  Congrats, Amber!  Amber wins a Journible, and an Operation World!

She can thank Linda Adcock from El Salvador.  Linda commented here, and Linda will also win a Journible.  Linda is serving the Lord in El Salvador, and has a blog of her own – Today’s Grace.

Third Prize

This missionary family will have to decide who gets the Journible and the Space Pen (I have a space pen.  I love my space pen.)!  The winners are the Messicks!  Their blog is Updates from the Messick Crew.  They are currently in Costa Rica on their way to Guatemala.

Who can they thank?  Cindy Hunter of the USA!  Cindy commented here.  Cindy is preparing for the missionary life herself, along with her family, and you can read about their adventures in Our Mission Journey.  Cindy wins her very own Journible.

In Conclusion

Thanks for commenting – but don’t stop now!  Branch out, meet new missionaries through their blogs, and encourage them with a comment.  Keep it going – after all, this is the constant comment contest!

Oh, by the way, someone wins some Constant Comment Tea, don’t they?  Well, the winner of the bonus prize is Amber Stephens in Japan!

If you’re a winner, and you haven’t done so already, please send me your complete address and phone number, and your prize will be shipped right away.

The time has come for another contest!  Once again, with every winner there will be two winners!

The point is to encourage our missionary bloggers.  So there each person that enters will win something for themselves, and something even better for a missionary!

First, let me tell you about the four items to be won (you can click on the images to find out more)…

The Prizes

Kindle 3G+WiFi
Operation World
Journible
Fisher Bullet Pen
  1. The Kindle 3G+WiFi Global Wireless Reading Device: Yes, once again one missionary will be winning a Kindle!  Click here to find out why a missionary would want a Kindle.  The winner must be in a country that Amazon will ship its Global Kindle to.  Last time the Kindle went to Togo – where will it go this time?
  2. Operation World (2010 edition):  Information on every country in the world, to help you pray more intelligently.
  3. Journible:  Journibles are special journals that allow you to copy Scripture by hand.  They are inspired by God’s command to the Kings of Israel to copy out the law (Deuteronomy 17:18).  You also have space to write notes on the passage.  These are great devotional tools, and they’re quality books you can pass on.  The winners will receive the 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews edition.
  4. Fisher Space Pen:  As a special bonus, one missionary will receive the Fisher Space Bullet Pen, which will write under almost any condition.

Who wins what

Here’s how it will go down:

First Prize
Missionary:  Kindle, Journible, Operation World
Entrant:  Operation World, Journible

Second Prize
Missionary:  Journible, Operation World
Entrant:  Journible

Third Prize
Missionary:  Journible, Space Pen

As a bonus, one of the above will also receive a package of Bigelow’s Constant Comment Tea!

Constant Comment

How do I enter?

Yes, this is the Constant Comment Contest!  So… it’s all about commenting!

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Leave a comment on a missionary blogger’s blog.  The blog must be one of the blogs we have featured here.  The comment must be relevant… not just Hi I love your blog (I will check them!).  Comment on what the post is about.  Also, you must comment on a blog that is not in the country you’re in.
  • Then, fill out the form [sorry, this contest is now closed].
  • Then, enter again if you like.  You may enter up to 5 times, but you must comment on a different blog each time.
  • Winners will be picked at random using random.org.  You will win the Entrant prize, and the missionary on whose blog you commented will win the Missionary prize.
  • Obviously I can’t win, so you can comment on my personal blog to be nice, but I can’t win a prize. ;)
  • The Constant Comment Contest closes on the 23rd of Mary 2011 at 11:59 UTC.  Winners will be announced later that week.

Why?

Do you want to encourage a missionary?  Read what they write, and comment on it!  Interact with it.  Tell them you’re praying.  Offer to help.  Ask a question.  Blogs are a great way to interact, network, encourage, and learn.

The prizes are just an added bonus.

Congrats to our winner!

28 January 2008

Way back in August, after we posted the wonderful tips from many bloggers regarding missionary care packages, I promised that I would pick a contributer at random to receive a care package courtesy of Missionary-Blogs.com.  Ok, so I’ve been a little slow. But I would finally like to announce the winner!  Coming from Canada and [...]
