So I've been asked...
Why is the Giveaway being called a Mulligan Stew Giveaway??
What exactly is a Mulligan Stew...
A little over a year ago we were in the process of trying to raise money for the Heim family and some others. I had a bunch of waiting children who were burning holes in my heart and then there were the Lost Boys....
We decided to do a Giveaway. I was thinking of calling it MARCH MADNESS since the NCAA tournament was starting and I thought that name would get some traction....
But soon after I put out a call for donations... and the giveaway donations started pouring in....
...On my way out the door one Tuesday morning to teach at our co-op...
The words "Mulligan Stew" popped into my head.
I dropped what I was doing and ran to the computer and looked up Mulligan Stew on google.
THIS PICTURE CAME UP.
A bunch of needy men from the Depression Era sharing a stew together.
How utterly appropriate.
From that point on our Giveaway became a Mulligan Stew Giveaway.
Back during the Depression shanty towns sprang up near the cities as people went looking for jobs. People cooked over open fires and would often share what little they had to feed everyone.
Every donation into the pot meant that more would be fed.
We have collected more than 100 ingredients for our stew pot.
We have invited well over 100 people to our table
(7 families adoption 17 children.... 12 waiting children... 110 Lost Boys)
Now we just need to pour on the blessings.
Every single 5.00 donation matters!!
It is a Mulligan Stew Giveaway to feed the neediest of all.

Simple Math - Every five dollars donated earns you one entry into our giveaway!!!
To enter, here's what you have to do:
FIRST.... You have to pick at least ONE of the families and make a donation into their grant account.
SECOND....You have to pick at least ONE of the waiting children below and make a donation into their grant account.
THIRD... You have to leave a comment WITH YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME letting me know which of the families you donated to and which of the waiting children. Make sure to give me the total amount donated. Because I always moderate my comments, I will be able to keep this information private if you ask me to leave it private. if you prefer not to leave a comment, you can e-mail me at covenantb@yahoo.com
THAT'S IT.... YOU ARE OFFICALLY ENTERED WITH JUST THOSE TWO DONATIONS...
We will let it be between you and the Lord the size of your gift.
BUT DON'T STOP THERE....
FOURTH.... You will also earn one entry for each additional family and/or waiting child you donate to.

So spread the love around!!!!
FIFTH.... You also get entries if you donate to the Lost Boys through Harvest International. Directions are below - All the money donated to the Lost Boys will be used by the ministry team to cover expenses (gas and craft supplies) and to buy much needed supplies for the Boys. In the past we have helped buy diapers, food, drinks, medical supplies, air conditioners and much much more.
