Bringing Samuel Home




Many of you have asked how you can be part of bringing Samuel home. The number one way you can help is through prayer. As we are nearing the end of this adoption journey, we're excited to be so close to bring him home. Currently we still need $5000 for our final trip. This $5000 will cover the plane ticket, all of the fees in Ethiopia, and our appointment with the US embassy. We know that it is a huge amount, but we are trusting God to all of our needs.

Our family has partnered with a really cool ministry, Lifesong for Orphans. Lifesong for Orphans offers a variety of services to support orphaned and abandoned children, adoption, and adoptive families. One of their ministries is adoption fund management. Through their fund management we are able to receive financial support for our adoption from our family and friends. Our family and friends are able to donate directly to a 501c(3)...this mean your gift will be tax deductible!

If you would like to help us bring Samuel home financially, you may send a gift* to:

Lifesong for Orphans
c/o Murray Fund
PO Box 40
202 North Ford Street
Gridley, IL 61744

You can use the DONATE button on the side of our blog. Your donation will go directly into our account.

Thank you in advance for considering partnering with our family.

1 John 3:18
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other;

let us show the truth by our actions.
