Biggest Stuff Christians Like giveaway ever!
Nov 14th by JonUpdate: The entry deadline has been extended. If you enter today (Monday) you can be included for a chance to win.
It’s been a big week and I asked Zondervan if I could finish it out in a big way by giving out 5 copies of the Bible Experience. Not familiar with that? Imagine an audio Bible that was on performance enhancing amounts of awesomeness.
It’s 400 different people, including Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett and LL Cool J (Uncle L he plays Samson) reading through the Bible in a really powerful way.
It’s 79 CDs. It costs $125. And we’ve got 5 to give away.
That’s over $600 in fun this weekend.
So how do you enter? Simple.
Grab your favorite comment from the Stuff Christians Like: Building a Kindergarten page and post it as a comment on this page.
For instance, I just went to www.firstgiving.com/scl and scrolled to the bottom of the page and realized someone had posted this comment today when they gave $5:
“I gotta tell you, I saw Jon speak recently and he is taller & better at breakdancing than I thought.”
Although the giver was anonymous, I have a sneaking suspicion the person who wrote that has a name that starts with a J and ends with an “on Acuff.”
There are 8 pages of just the funniest, most heartwarming things people have been saying about why they gave money to help build two kindergartens. You navigate by clicking the arrows on top of the comments section. Grab your favorite comment or funniest comment name (Indiana Jones gave) or anything else from those giving pages and post it here. It doesn’t have to be original. You can post the same comment as someone else if that’s the one that made you laugh or meant the most to you.
If you don’t see a comment you like, you can write your own by giving a few dollars. I’d love for us to finish the second kindergarten this weekend. That’s a crazy thing to think we can do, but the more I thought about it this morning, the more I realized I had to edit this post and say, why not? Plus, Zakk needs some new clothes and we’re only $1,900 away from him getting a new accessory.
You ready? Enter a comment you find on the SCL giving page by end of day Monday, November 16. I’ll pick 5 winners at random. You’ll get the best thing we’ve ever given away on SCL.
Let’s go.

"Can't wait for the Youtube of Vietnameze Children sidehugging & break dancing." That made me laugh out loud!
My favorite comment: Inconceivable! 11/10/2009 $50.00 You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
just thought that giving to this is better than buying a pack of smokes
This is my favorite:
It's pretty exciting to be part of something like this…watching the Body being the Body.
So, so true!
My favorite comment is: Can't wait for the Youtube of Vietnameze Children sidehugging & break dancing.
I know others have said it, but my favorite is also "Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good (and want to learn how to do other things too)"
But how about a rewording: Jon Acuff Center for Kids Who Love Stuff Christians Like Worship Eagles (or just want to learn their A,B,Cs)?
"Can't wait for the Youtube of Vietnameze Children sidehugging & break dancing."
Pretty sure that has to be my favorite. Not only will we be bringing them education and meeting basic needs, we're going to teach them to pop and lock!
God said "30,000 dollars? PFFT! Pocket change!"
"Thank God for Tax Refunds" – AWESOME!
My favorite is " Can't wait for the Youtube of Vietnameze Children sidehugging & break dancing. "
I can see it now. Great cause man.
ANY comment that references Newsies is sheer awesomeness in my opinion:
"See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed. He don't care if we're dead or alive."
God said "30,000 dollars? PFFT! Pocket change!"
"It's not so much a choice as it is a responsibility that I've acquired along with His blessings. "
That's incredible. It motivates me to give. Thanks, Anonymous, for reminding me to count my blessings.
I spend $10 on lunch without even thinking. $10 for a school is a much worthier cause. Glory to God!
I loved the Dere Zoolander comment but this is the one that really hit me since I spent $13 today for lunch and it was Asian food! I just had to give. Thank you Jon for taking this opportunity.

This gave me chills. I'm a college student who complains about the food I can afford and the work in my classes, but really, all of those experiences are such a blessing.
"It's finals week, but I'm giving up my Redbull and EasyMac so that they might get to take finals"
totally the right attitude and talk about sacrificial giving!
"And our ranks will grow, and we'll kick their rear, and the world will know that we been here!"
I love the Newsies!
Sorry we meant to get this in last Friday
This one is for sure my fav. A cheerful giver! Just found this blog and it is making me roll! I for sure could use the Bible 24/7 on CD to make sure my small 2 year old makes it to 3!

It made me laugh like crazy!
"I won't buy the book, but I'll help with this

Well they were honest
