Thanks for everyone who filled out
the survey and commented on why they should get my iPhone.
After much deliberation…
I chose where I felt the phone could be used best…
I got this in my email the other day…
Another reason I love this community…

Los,
I just got this email from some missionaries in Nicaragua. Our church provides for two safe houses in Managua. These missionaries get children that live in the city dump with their parents and put them in “safe houses”. They are then able to provide food, clothing, shelter, education and spiritual instruction. They also provide medical care for the people (about 2000 people) who live in the dump. If you have not given your iPhone away yet I would take it to them when we go March 20 if you were willing to give it to me. Here is the email I got:
Robert,I don’t’ know if anyone in your church has upgraded their iphone and have their old one sitting around. But if you do, we would like to buy it. We can unlock them down here.
The reason is Elizabeth works in the dump making nursing rounds three days a week attending to pregnant moms and new borns as well as random sicknesses. She keeps data on three different sources (photo, med, gen. info) and the iphone would help her to consolidate it. It would be a HUGE blessing!
I know it is late notice, but if you could put the word out in the church….we will buy it for the going rate. It doesn’t matter which generation iphone.
Thanks Roberto,
Chris

RAIN IT DOWN
Congratulations to Elizabeth!
woot! woot! God Provides (with convenient timing)
Very cool! Glad it’s going to some who will definitely use it!
Love It!!! Kingdom Work through iphone!
Awesome! God bless her! =D
way awesome.
Nice! I’m going to shoot this guy an email and see if they need another.I have a 1st Gen iPhone not being used. I’ll gladly donate. Anyone else have one to give?
Except I would need his email. Could you email it over to me or DM me @yarby? Thanks.
Jason,
I’m from The Journey as well. They could definitely use two! Awesome! Robert’s email is robert.johnson@TheEpicJourney.com. Thanks!!
Jason,
Are you still interested in giving your 1st gen iPhone to us for the missionaries in Nicaragua? We will have another team going this summer and could send it with them. I know they would be thrilled with another iPhone to use. They can load some apps on them to track the stats of their patients. Just email me and let me know.
You can send it to:

Thanks, my friend!

Good use of resources!
Excellent!
while sad I didn’t win, I’m overjoyed at the true ministry that will be taking place.
God Bless them, los, and all their work!
Go guys!
that is sooo awesome! they definitely deserve your iphone more than i do.

Deserving? Yes.
Right choice? Absolutely.
Glad I didn’t get it! I’d have felt terrible!
only in the 21st century… simple awesome.
too cool!
Too cool! Love it!
Oooo! An iPod Touch…and yay for Elizabeth!
That’s just awesome.
Oh sure… give it to the missionaries. Somehow, I don’t think they’d put the cool gaming and music features to good use like I would. Not to mention that all my friends have iPhones and I don’t. So now I won’t be a cool kid.
But it’s your phone…
sweet! if they need to purchase specific apps, let me know… I’d be happy to buy an itunes card or something to help!
Great Cause!
That’s amazing… I bet they never in a million years would have thought that God would provide them with an iphone from a blog giveaway on a blog that they aren’t even probably aware of…. what an amazing example of God’s providence!
Awesome how it works out that way!!! That’s so God!
Yes! I love this stuff!
goosebumps!
I’m Liz’s dad. Thanks so much for sending her your i-phone. She’s going to smile all week! If ever you come to Nicaragua, please come by for visit- you’ll be our guest! We would love to say thank in person. Maybe she could even show off your i-phone at work inside the dump.
Hope in God! m buzbee
