Welcome to our SixSeeds Summer Beach Read Giveaway!\"\"<\/p>\n

This July 20th, we\u2019re trying to beat the head by giving away books of our SixSeeds team members \u2014 and you won\u2019t believe how many great authors we have on our Faith and Family Channel! Here are just a few of the books represented by our great writers.\u00a0 We hope you enter to win all of them, and thanks for continuing to read the great articles at the SixSeeds Faith and Family Channel at Patheos<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to give away a copy of Katie Davis\u2019s book called \u201cKisses from Katie,\u201d a book based on her amazing life.\u00a0 Also, I\u2019m happy to announce that Katie\u2019s famous blog<\/a> is now also at the Faith and Family Channel!\u00a0 Here\u2019s a description of her book:<\/p>\n

What would cause an eighteen-year-old old senior class president and homecoming queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little brother\u2019s heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because the rest of them think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person but didn\u2019t know any of the language? A passion to make a difference. Katie Davis left over Christmas break her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people and children of Uganda that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. She has given up a relatively comfortable life\u2014at a young age\u2014to care for the less fortunate of this world. She was so moved by the need she witnessed, she\u2019s centered her life around meeting that need. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, is in the process of adopting<\/em> thirteen children in Uganda, and she completely trusts God for daily provision for her and her family.<\/p>\n

Despite the rough conditions in which Katie lives, she has found a life of service to God to be one of great joy. Katie\u2019s children bring constant delight and help her help others by welcoming whoever comes to their door. As the challenges grow, so does Katie\u2019s faith and her certainty that what she\u2019s doing in Uganda, one person at a time, will have far-reaching rewards. It isn\u2019t the life she planned, but it is the life she loves.<\/p>\n

To further her reach into the needs of Ugandans, Katie established Amazima Ministries. The ministry matches orphaned children with sponors worldwide. Each sponsor\u2019s $300\/year provides schooling, school supplies, three hot meals a day, minor medical care, and spiritual encouragement. Katie expected to have forty children in the program; she had signed up 150 by January 2008; today it sponsors over 400. Another aspect of the ministry is a feeding program created for the displaced Karamojong people\u2014Uganda\u2019s poorest citizens. The program feeds lunch to over 1,200 children Monday-Friday and sends them home with a plate of food; it also offers basic medical care, Bible study, and general health training.<\/p>\n

Katie Davis is more than fascinating, she\u2019s inspiring, as she has wholeheartedly answered the call to serve.<\/strong><\/p>\n
