Get involved

Help get the Murrays out of the country!

The plan is for our family to work at a family camp, in the mountains of Ecuador for a year. One Mission Society is the organization we are working under. We begin in September with language training at a missionary language institute in San Jose, Costa Rica.

We had planned to sell our home, and use the equity to fund our year volunteering abroad. We’ve kept our home “looking like a show-home” for a month (that’s tough on the five of us!).

We’re excited about registering for language training and booking our flights, but our house has not yet sold. So we’re prayerfully asking for help with funding.

Our OMS support account number is #08053
tax-deductible donations can be made by phone at
1-800-784-7077 or

through the OMS website http://www.onemissionsociety.org/give/express-donations

or sent to
One Mission Society Canada

We would REALLY appreciate your prayers as we endeavor to be actively involved in God’s work in Ecuador.

June 2011 update

Thank you to the wonderful congregation of St Pauls Anglican church for inviting us to share our plans with them! What a lovely morning we had reconnecting with old friends!

Our plans are evolving as the summer draws near. We're now looking at a mid-August departure date. This should give us time to sell our home in St Albert, before heading to language training in the capital city of Costa Rica. Don's mom is planning to join us for the 6 six weeks that we'll be in San Jose for language training; "grandma" is going to take care of our three children, while we are in classes full days, each day. We are thrilled about this new development!

We anticipate heading directly from Costa Rica to Ecuador. We are excited about getting to Camp Pallatanga!
