UPDATED WITH WINNER: Congrats to comment #136 Karo
If you’ve been reading my blog for a long time, you know that Katie’s life impacted our family before we even knew what our story would be.
More than three years ago, I started reading Kisses From Katie. At first, it was hard to even imagine how this young girl left home and haven for the red dirt of Uganda, alone.
Not only did she go, she stayed.
And then she adopted 14 daughters and fed and healed hundreds more.
She wanted to make a difference. And it made me want to make a difference. Remember when we raised $3200 for her ministry, Amazima, to buy chickens and seeds and hope?
Katie is one of those girls that is called to greatness, but remains the girl-next-door.
Her first book, Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption
It’s beautiful. 
It still makes me want to be different. These words from Katie sum up her life: ”to be real is to love and be loved until there’s nothing left.”
Her book is remarkable, a true mirror of Katie.
I’m giving a copy away today. Please leave a comment if you’d like to win it.
This giveaway ends on Thursday.
[Disclaimer: I did receive a copy of this to review]
Katie is who I could have been if I had been brave enough. What an inspiration. I have a feeling reading her book will break my heart and the kick me in the pants to DO something.
Awesome! I can’t wait to read it!
Would love to win this. Her story sounds absolutely incredible.
Just heard her on the Dave Ramsey show and what a sweet gal. Would love this for my 6 granddaughters
to read as well as myself!
Oh I have to read this… Our family just got back from an unforgettable trip to Lesotho… I have a feeling we will heading back sooner rather than later. There are people in desperate need and we are way too comfortable…
I want to be her when I grow up. She is so incredible!
I want to read this with my girls.
Just love it that someone so young can be full of hope and set an example for ALL of us…let alone the youth in this country. Would love to read her book! Thanks for the giveaway.
She inspires me too. I want to touch people with Jesus the same way she is. I want Jesus to use me however He wants. I am hoping to go on a missions trip with Amazima soon!! P.S. I am also trying to purchase your new mercy house shirt “love mercy walk humbly” the verse from Micah shirt, but it will not work is it my computers problem, or is there technical issues? I LOVE your ministry its beautiful only something the Lord could work all the pieces together!
Her story is amazing…I’d love to win the book!
Wow, I just heard of this book yesterday and wanted to read it! I’d love to win.

I’m an aussie reader that pops in to read your blog every now and then. I love reading Katies blog and can understand how it influenced the path your family has taken in regards to helping Africa. I’d love to win her book but understand that an international post is probably not economical. I will eventually read it one way or another. Thanks for a great blog and Gods continued blessings for the work that you and your family do
Reading Katie’s blog was part of my journey to Uganda this summer. I would love to do what she is doing. Hopefully, it’s part of God’s plan for our family!

Just linked into her (for the first time) last week!
Fascinating.
Humbling.
Want to learn more about her and get inspired to do more.
thanks for the inspiration – I’ll be headed over to her blog as soon as my baby goes down for a nap!
I stumbled upon this website and this is the first time I am hearing about Katie. As an itinerant missionary to Swaziland, to serve the orphaned and rural poor, and as a mother of my own adopted daughter from Zambia….perhaps this is just the read I need.
I would love to have it.
Indeed, she is doing inspiring worship–every. day.
I have heard so many neat things about this remarkable life of faith. I’d love to read her story! Thanks for the giveaway
What a beautiful story.

I have been struggling with the idea of how can one person make a difference. I look at you and your faith to see what you have accomplished and it gives me comfort in knowing that it isn’t what I can do, it is what God is going to do through me. I would love to win a copy of Katie’s book.
Would love to read this, even if I don’t win!

I would love to read this. I keep hearing about this gal and I can tell it would be amazing.
Katie is a tremendous young woman. I’ve been following and praying for her for awhile now. God is definitely using her in many ways. Can’t wait to read this book!
Thank you so much for posting this! I follow your blog and find it to be such an inspiration to see what you and your family are doing. Seeing this, is just another reminder of what it looks like to do what God has called of us.
It holds a special place in my life as our family is in a transitional period of trying to determine what way God is truly calling us. We have connections to two different type of ministiries…knowing there is a great need in both. One is in the US the other is in Africa.
No matter what/where we are led, it is so great to see others following their calling and making their life count!
Thank you!!!
